love and trust and good will…

 

 

Book review:

Silas Marner

 

by Mary Ann Evans “George Eliot” (1819-1880)

English novelist, an icon in Victorian literature

New York: The Macmillan Company, 1899, repr. 1932

348 pages

 

Silas Marner is, ultimately, a story of love and trust and good will in a world that tolerates all of the manifestations of the human spirit, both good and ill.

The story invites you to pay attention to the good guys.

Evans (Eliot) offers some of her insights regarding “people whose lives have been made various by learning.”  (p. 24)
