Fiction · 1861
Silas Marner
A linen-weaver, driven from his chapel community by a false accusation, settles in the Midland village of Raveloe and lives for fifteen years for nothing but his hoard of gold. The gold is stolen; a golden-haired child wanders into his cottage out of the snow. George Eliot published the short novel in 1861, between The Mill on the Floss and Romola.
The book turns on an exchange its title never states: the gold goes and the child arrives, and Marner has to learn, in middle age, how to belong to a village that had no use for him. Against that Eliot sets the Cass household — the squire, his two sons, the marriage kept secret — and Raveloe itself, drawn with the exactness she gave to the Midlands of her childhood.
Both parts and the Conclusion are given complete.
