This timeless classic has been a standard in English literature education since the early 1900s, and rightfully so. Silas Marner, a humble linen weaver, seeks asylum from wrong-doing at the hand of a jealous, once-trusted friend. Shunned by the only village he’d ever known, Silas isolates himself, rebuffing the friendly overtures of new neighbors. Gold becomes his only consolation until he receives the gift of true gold from a golden-haired child.
George Eliot addresses common human conditions of class distinction, religious ardor, loneliness, greed, generosity, redemptive love, acceptance, and joy. A beautiful story, told simply but powerfully, with engaging, timeless characters types, it offers us wisdom for today.
George Eliot [Mary Ann Evans] (1819–1880) was one of the leading English writers of the Victorian era. In addition to translations of theological texts, she wrote seven novels, including Adam Bede (1859) and Middlemarch (1871-1872).
