The Mill on the Floss (Signet Classics)

This beautiful softcover edition is in fine condition, with no marks or tears and only minimal shelf wear. The pages are tight and unmarked, and the book remains clean, square, and well-kept. The cover painting, Iffley Mill by George Vicat Cole, depicts a pastoral riverside scene that complements the novel’s setting around the mill. The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), first published in 1860, follows Maggie Tulliver and her brother Tom as they grow up near the fictional town of St. Ogg’s, England. Maggie, intelligent and passionate, often struggles against the rigid expectations of her conservative family.
