George Eliot | Silas Marner
- © Wordsworth Editions Limited 1993
- Introduction and Notes by R.T. Jones, Honorary Fellow of the University of York.Although the shortest of George Eliot’s novels, Silas Marner is one of her* most admired and loved works. It tells the sad story of the unjustly exiled Silas Marner – a handloom linen weaver of Raveloe in the agricultural heartland of England – and how he is restored to life by the unlikely means of the orphan child Eppie.Silas Marner is a tender and moving tale of sin and repentance set in a vanished rural world and holds the reader’s attention until the last page as Eppie’s bonds of affection for Silas are put to the test.*George Eliot is the pen name of Mary Ann Evans.
