Eventually, the embittered Silas Marner finds personal redemption after he takes in Eppie, the unacknowledged child of the Squire’s eldest son. In this work, we find Eliot provides us with a highly realistic portrait of an old world which had already begun to pass away irretrievably. Accordingly, this masterpiece of English fiction still has a great deal to say to modern readers. Although suitable for every reader, this larger print edition of Eliot’s timeless classic is particularly well-suited to students studying Silas Marner for their GCSE in English Literature. Here, the larger font size will make studying a more comfortable experience. Even more helpfully, wider margins provide useful extra space for students (and teachers) to add their own explanatory notes and points for further thought.

Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe by George Eliot (Mary Anne Evans). Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe is the third novel by George Eliot, published in 1861. The novel is set in the early years of the 19th century. Silas Marner, a weaver, is a member of a small Calvinist congregation in Lantern Yard, a slum street in Northern England. He is falsely accused of stealing the congregation's funds while watching over the very ill deacon. Two clues are given against Silas: a pocket knife, and the discovery in his own house of the bag formerly containing the money. There is the strong suggestion that Silas' best friend, William Dane, has framed him, since Silas had lent his pocket knife to William shortly before the crime was committed. Silas is proclaimed guilty, however, after a drawing of lots. The woman Silas was to marry breaks their engagement and instead marries William. With his life shattered and his heart broken, Silas leaves Lantern Yard and the city for a rural area where he is unknown.

Set in Victorian England, Silas Marner is the tale of a weaver who retreats into a long life of isolation after he is wrongly accused of theft. Years later, embittered and lonely, he loses a small fortune and becomes the guardian of an orphaned girl, Eppie. Eppie grows into a charming woman who cares for Silas and helps him find the hope is his life that money was never able to bring him.

In Silas Marner, Eliot combines symbolism with a historically precise setting to create a tale of love and hope. This novel explores the issues of redemptive love, the notion of community, the role of religion, and the status of the gentry and family. While religion and religious devotion play a strong part in this text, Eliot concerns herself with matters of ethics, and it is clear that for her, ethics exist apart from religion. On the surface, the book has a strong moral tract; the bad character, Dunstan Cass, gets his just deserts, while the pitiable character, Silas Marner, is ultimately richly rewarded, and his miserliness corrected. Although it seems like a simple moral story with a happy ending, George Eliot's text includes several pointed criticisms of organized religion, the role of the gentry, and the negative impacts of industrialisation.
