«Silas Marner» is the classic novel by George Eliot, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (240 pages, in English).
Silas Marner, a weaver disillusioned by a false accusation, lives isolated in Raveloe and values only the gold he hoards. When his money is stolen and an orphan girl enters his home, his life is transformed: he takes her in and discovers in her an affection that redeems him. The novel explores solitude, fatherhood, and the strength of community.
Subtitled 'The Weaver of Raveloe', it was published in 1861. The text follows the Cabinet edition that George Eliot revised in 1878, with an introduction and notes by David Carroll.
Aimed at readers of Victorian fiction and Penguin classics, including those approaching nineteenth-century English literature.
Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels: Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862–1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876). Her novels are known for their realism, psychological insight, sense of place, and detailed depiction of the countryside. Middlemarch was described by the novelist Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people" and by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language.
