It forms the first story in the collection &#039;&#039;Scenes of Clerical Life&#039;&#039; (1857) by Mary Ann Evans (1819-1880), writing as &quot;[[George Eliot]]&quot;. <br /> <br /> In his biography of the composer, [[Modest Tchaikovsky]] recalled that &quot;In his last year, Pyotr Ilyich&#039;s favourite writer was [[George Eliot]]. He became acquainted with her works on one of his tours abroad and he began with this amazing woman&#039;s masterpiece &#039;&#039;The Mill on the Floss&#039;&#039;. Only [[Lev Tolstoy|L. Tolstoy]] could rival her in Pyotr Ilyich&#039;s esteem. &#039;&#039;Adam Bede&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Silas Marner&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Middlemarch&#039;&#039; all filled him with delight, and he read them not only once, but re-read them... &#039;&#039;Romola&#039;&#039; pleased him least of all, but after &#039;&#039;Mill on the Floss&#039;&#039; he liked the &#039;&#039;Scenes of Clerical Life&#039;&#039; the most&quot; &lt;ref name=&quot;note2&quot;/&gt;.<br /> <br /> According to [[Modest]], the composer intended to compose an opera on the subject of &#039;&#039;The Sad Fortunes of the Reverend Amos Barton&#039;&#039;, but later changed his mind in favour of &#039;&#039;[[Mr Gilfil&#039;s Love Story]]&#039;&#039;.
