BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 11th to 18th April 2022

George Eliot's novel of grand passions and tormented lives to mark the 140th Anniversary of George Eliot's death this year.

Written by George Eliot
Adapted by Rhiannon Tise
Produced and Directed by Tracey Neale

George Eliot's most autobiographical novel draws on her personal pain at the loss of the close bond with her brother who had cut off all contact with her. It resulted in one of the great novels of childhood, and one of literature's most unforgettable heroines. Like Anne of Green Gables and Jane Eyre, Maggie captures the dilemma of being the clever girl in the family, the ugly duckling, the misplaced foundling who longs to be recognised for the genius she secretly knows herself to be.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in April 2020.
