She wrote under the pseudonym due to the Victorian views of women only being able to write about romance. Eliot wanted to write about more serious subjects such as religion, industrialisation and community so chose to write under a male name. Silas Marner tells the tale of a poor weaver who is a promising young member of a Puritan religious community. However when his best friend frames him for stealing some coins Silas’s life takes a dark turn. With themes of love and family and a subtle message on gender roles this interesting novel is the perfect gift for a George Eliot lover.
