Silas Marner was written by Mary Ann Evans under the pen name George Eliot. The novel was first published in 1861. Despite being the shortest of her major novels, the Victorian novel was highly celebrated. The main character is Silas, a deeply religious linen weaver. After being falsely accused of theft by his best friend and abandoned by his fiancée, he suffers loss of faith.
Silas exiles to a remote, superstitious rural village. There he spends 15 years living a reclusive life full of bitterness. He weaves incessantly and finds comfort only in hoarding his gold coins.
He suffers tragedy first in romance and second when a toddler wanders into his cottage on a snowy New Year's Eve. The toddlers mother has died and Silas decides to raise the young girl himself. Through his adoptive love and parental devotion, his faith in humanity is restored, bringing him back into the fabric of the community
