Which George Eliot novel features the character Maggie Tulliver?

George Eliot’s novel featuring Maggie Tulliver is The Mill on the Floss.

First published in 1860, the novel follows Maggie and her brother, Tom Tulliver, as they grow up at Dorlcote Mill beside the fictional River Floss in Lincolnshire. Maggie is its central character: intelligent, passionate, impulsive, and constrained by the expectations placed on women in Victorian society.

The family’s fortunes deteriorate after Maggie’s father pursues a lawsuit against the Wakems, a conflict that contributes to financial ruin and deepens the hostility between the two families. Maggie’s relationships with Philip Wakem and Stephen Guest create the novel’s major emotional and moral tensions, especially as she struggles between personal desire, family loyalty, and social judgment.

The other options are also George Eliot novels, which makes this a challenging question. Silas Marner centers on a lonely weaver, Adam Bede follows a carpenter and his community, and Middlemarch presents a broad portrait of provincial life. The Mill on the Floss is particularly memorable for its tragic conclusion and its focus on sibling bonds.
