Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe

Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe is the third novel by Mary Ann Evans (George
Eliot). It was published in 1861 An outwardly simple tale of a linen weaver, the
novel 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 pieces of evidence implicate 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 Ş also shared by Silas Ş 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.
