From the introduction, "It is the novel to which George Eliot was most emotionally committed and in which her personal voice sounds most urgently. The story of Maggie Tulliver, intelligent, imaginative, idealistic, ambitious, and turbulent, derives directly from the story of young Mary Anne Evans (which was George Eliot's real name); and the continuous conflict between Maggie and her environment, the continuous frustration of her demands for fulfillment and for love, is presented with such a sense of almost yearning identification because it derives so much from autobiography."
