Summary
Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe (1861) is the third novel by George Eliot. Set in the early years of the 19th century, it seems at first to be only a simple story about the weaver Silas Marner. However, the complex plot and wide cast of characters soon reveal its scope and realism. The narrative deals with a range of issues, from community to industrialization and religion. Silas’ life is changed by Eppie, the little girl he adopts, and their fates are entwined with Godfrey Cass, son of the village squire. The novel’s striking symbolism and trenchant social criticism contribute to make this affectionate portrait of rural life an enduring classic.
