Maggie Tulliver

Color illustration of a dark-haired girl in a red dress and white pinafore standing against a wooden fence beside a river. A stone bridge carrying a horse and rider crosses behind her; a dog and a moored rowing boat are at the water’s edge, and a willow rises above her.

Colour frontispiece. Maggie Tulliver stands alone by the Floss, her expression set and inward. Williams gives her the dark hair and heavy brows Eliot insists on throughout the novel, and places her apart from the traffic crossing the bridge behind.
