Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe is the third novel by George Eliot, published in 1861. An outwardly simple tale of a linen weaver, it is notable for its strong realism and its sophisticated treatment of a variety of issues ranging from religion to industrialisation to community.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. Lots are drawn in the belief - shared by Silas - that God will direct the process and establish the truth, but they indicate that Silas is guilty. The woman Silas was to marry breaks their engagement and marries William instead. With his life shattered, his trust in God lost and his heart broken, Silas leaves Lantern Yard and the city for a rural area where he is unknown. Marner travels south to the Midlands and settles near the rural village of Raveloe in Warwickshire, where he lives isolated and alone, choosing to have only minimal contact with the residents beyond his work as a linen weaver. He devotes himself wholeheartedly to his craft and comes to adore the gold coins he earns and hoards from his weaving.
Autorenporträt
Mary Ann Evans, a well-known English author, poet, and translator, was born in Warwickshire, England, on November 22, 1819, and went by the pen name George Eliot. She was one of the most well-known authors of the Victorian era. Eliot is renowned for his study of difficult moral and societal problems, precise characterizations, and psychological understanding in his works. In the 19th century, Eliot defied social norms by pursuing a profession in literature and rising to the position of editor of the progressive intellectual newspaper Westminster Review. After being released in 1859, her debut book, "Adam Bede," became an instant hit. After that, she wrote a number of critically lauded books, including as "The Mill on the Floss" (1860), "Silas Marner" (1861), and "Middlemarch" (1871-1872), which is frequently regarded as her best work. George Eliot's literary style revealed a sharp awareness of society and a profound comprehension of human nature. In a milieu of mostly male authors, she was able to gain greater respect by choosing to adopt a male pseudonym. Themes like relationships, morals, and societal shifts during the Industrial Revolution were all tackled in Eliot's works.
