The idea
The Mill on the Floss, of eighteen sixty, follows the siblings Tom and Maggie Tulliver, who grow up at Dorlcote Mill on the River Floss. Silas Marner, of eighteen sixty-one, a realist tale, tells of a linen weaver from a small Calvinist congregation who finds new life in a village.
In practice
A sister, a brother; a weaver.
Where people slip
Both novels are rural and realist.
