More DescriptionSilas Marner, a gentle linen weaver, is falsely accused of theft in his home of Lanterns Yard. He is exiled by the community and establishes himself in the village of Raveloe - where he lives as a recluse caring only for hoarding money gained from his work. Eventually, the embittered Silas Marner finds personal redemption after he takes in Eppie, the unacknowledged child of the Squire's eldest son. In this work, we find Eliot provides us with a highly realistic portrait of an old world which had already begun to pass away irretrievably. Accordingly, this masterpiece of English fiction still has a great deal to say to modern readers. Although suitable for every reader, this larger print edition of Eliot's timeless classic is particularly well-suited to school and university students and their teachers. Here, the larger font size will make studying a more comfortable experience. Even more helpfully, wider margins provide extra space to add explanatory notes, translations of unfamiliar words and points for further thought.
