The third book written by Mary Ann Evans under the pen-name George Eliot. 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. “When we are treated well, we naturally begin to think that we are not altogether unmeritorious, and that it is only just we should treat ourselves well, and not mar our own good fortune.” Read on in this vintage edition - a beautiful old book looking for a new home on your vintage bookshelf.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55752540586363,"sku":"10582010","price":11.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_490297_jpg.jpg?v=1758203364","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/george-eliots-silas-marner-oxford-1950","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
