Description
A moral allegory about the redemptive power of love. The weaver, Silas Marner, is embittered by a false accusation, disappointed in friendship and love and has retreated into a life alone with his loom?and his gold. Silas hoards a treasure that kills his spirit until fate steals it from him and replaces it with a golden-haired foundling child. Where she came from, who her parents were, and who really stole the gold are secrets that permeate this moving tale of guilt and innocence. It is also a finely drawn picture of early nineteenth-century England in the days when spinning wheels hummed busily in the farmhouses, and of a simple way of life that was soon to disappear.
