Silas Marner is George Eliot’s 1861 novel about a solitary linen weaver in an English village whose hoarded gold is stolen and whose life is changed by a small child who enters it. It is a warm, morally searching story of community, loss, and renewal, and a fine introduction to Eliot’s Victorian realism.
