Wrongly accused of theft and exiled from a religious community many years before, the embittered weaver Silas Marner lives alone in Raveloe, living only for work and his precious hoard of money. But when his money is stolen and an orphaned child finds her way into his house, Silas is given the chance to transform his life. His fate, and that of Eppie, the little girl he adopts, is entwined with Godfrey Cass, son of the village Squire, who, like Silas, is trapped by his past. Silas Marner, George Eliot's favourite of her novels, combines humour, rich symbolism and pointed social criticism to create an unsentimental but affectionate portrait of rural life. This text uses the Cabinet edition, revised by George Eliot in 1878. David Carroll's introduction is complemented by the original Penguin Classics edition introduction by Q.D. Leavis. Mary Ann Evans (1819-80) began her literary career as a translator, and later editor, of the Westminster Review. In 1857, she published Scenes of Clerical Life, the first of eight novels she would publish under the name of 'George Eliot', including The Mill on the Floss, Middlemarch, and Daniel Deronda. If you enjoyed Silas Marner, you might like Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, also available in Penguin Classics. 'I think Silas Marner holds a higher place than any of the author's works.

During her girlhood, she went through a phase of evangelical piety, but her strong interest in philosophy and her friendship with religious freethinkers led to a break with orthodox religion. When one of these friends married in 1843, Mary Ann took over from his wife the task of translating D.F. Strauss's \u003ci\u003eThe Life of Jesus Critically Examined\u003c\/i\u003e (1846), a work that had deep effect on English rationalism.

In London she met she met George Henry Lewes, a journalist and advanced thinker. Lewes was separated from his wife, who had had two sons by another man, but had been unable to obtain a divorce.

The story is set in a small English town during the mid-19th century and revolves around the life of Janet Dempster, the wife of a drunken and abusive husband. Janet is a complex character who is struggling to come to terms with her past mistakes and the consequences of her actions. She is haunted by her past and is constantly seeking redemption for her sins. Her journey towards repentance is the central theme of the novel.The novel explores several themes such as the role of women in society, the destructive effects of alcoholism, the importance of forgiveness and redemption, and the power of love and friendship. Through Janet's story, Eliot provides a powerful commentary on the social and moral issues of her time. She also delves into the complexities of human nature and the struggles that people face in their quest for happiness and fulfillment.Overall, Janet's Repentance is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged novel that offers a deep insight into the human condition. Eliot's masterful storytelling and vivid characterization make this novel a must-read for anyone interested in Victorian literature and social commentary.It is really surprising that young ladies should not be thought competent to the same curriculum as young gentlemen. I observe that their powers of sarcasm are quite equal; and if there had been a genteel academy for young gentlemen at Milby, I am inclined to think that, notwithstanding Euclid and the classics, the party spirit there would not have exhibited itself in more pungent irony, or more incisive satire, than was heard in Miss Townley's seminary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Eliot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kessinger Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781162668819\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Eliot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46449860346084,"sku":"9781162668819","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9781162668819.jpg?v=1751346469"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/collections\/george-eliot.oembed","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
