Silas Marner by George Eliot, David Carroll
Barron's series of Classic Novels presents complete, unabridged editions of literary masterworks--titles frequently taught as part of high school English curricula. However, all books in this series contain far more than simple text. Each title also gives students-- • An illustrated introduction that places the novel and it author within the larger context of world history and literature • Glossary notes on every page that explain unfamiliar words and phrases • Running commentaries that summarize the narrative's action in sentence or two, located either at the start of each chapter or at the bottom of each page • Fast Forward and Rewind features--time savers that allow readers the option of skim-reading parts of the text without losing the story's sense • A concluding chapter-by-chapter study guide that analyzes the novel and points out details that students should understand and remember Edited by experienced educators, Barron's Classic Novels offer an entirely original approach to great works of American and English literature. These volumes serve as ideal classroom textbooks, and help to make many of the world's great novels approachable and enjoyable to students. Editorial Reviews I think Silas Marner holds a higher place than any of the author's works. It is more nearly a masterpiece; it has more of that simple, rounded, consummate aspect. . .which marks a classical work.-Henry James - From the Publisher Proof that a life going badly wrong can, by good fortune and an answering faith and determination, be put triumphantly right. - Independent (London) This novel about redemption and renewal is an excellent example of Victorian literature as well as a perfect illustration of Eliot's elegant and incisive prose. - writer and translator Michelle Bailat-Jones I think Silas Marner holds a higher place than any of the author's works. It is more nearly a masterpiece; it has more of that simple, rounded, consummate aspect...which marks a classical work. - Henry James A complex, sympathetic portrait of a good man who was forced by his tightly circumscribed society into being a loner, an embittered outsider. - New York Times In Eliot's classic, a bitter man finds happiness in the adoption of an orphaned child. Narrator Anna Bentinck's pleasant cadence immediately draws listeners into the story. Because Eliot includes a diverse cast of characters, from illiterate farmers to country squires, Bentinck is frequently called upon to deliver unique accents and personalities. She does so splendidly. At one moment, she portrays the cautious yet thoughtful weaver, Silas Marner, and at another, the bold and provoking young squire, Dunstan Cass. Bentinck seamlessly executes conversations between characters so that the dialogue flows naturally. The novel delves into the secrets and passions of human nature, and Bentinck's energetic, sincere reading animates Eliot's touching story. D.M.W.
