PREFACE In preparing the introductory portion of this volume, the editor has attempted to assist the reader to a thoughtful appre- ciation of an extraordinarily tliougbtful writer. Few authors of fiction have been so well equipped with learning and philosophy as the author of Silas Maimer. Consequently, though the plot is simple, and though the action and dialogue are of such inter- est as to carry the reader easily through the didactic passages, yet even these "short and simple annals of the poor" will yield greater returns of interest to tlie pupil if he understands how the story is related to the life and character and purpose of the author. In the preparation of tlie notes, the editor has regarded the needs of pupils who liave not the library facilities that would render such annotation unnecessary. Definitions enclosed in quotation marks are uniformly taken from the Century Dictionary. The satisfactory condition of the test simplifies the labor of the editor in this respect. -^ii.^<3ytfl^ /^l^. INTRODUCTION BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH "Nov. 22, 1819, — Mary Ann Evans was bom at Arbury Farm, at five o'clock this morning." With this entry in his diary Mr. Robert Evans recorded the birth of a daughter who was to become known to the world as George Eliot. A glance at T;\hat is known of her parents will reveal the sources of many traits of her mind and character. The lines of her father's face as shown in a portrait (to be found in Cross's Life of George Eliot) confirm what we read of his strength, seriousness, and steniness of character. His occupation was that of a land-agent, a responsible and respectable business, in which his physical strength, practical knowledge, and sagacity made him " unique " among land-agents. His second wife, the mother of j\Iary Ann, was, at the time of her marriage, of a somewhat higher social station than her husband. She was a woman " with an unusual amount of natural force — a shrewd, practical person, with a considerable dash of the Mrs. Poyser in her. Hers was an affectionate, warm-hearted nature, and her children, on whom she cast * the benediction of her gaze,' were thoroughly attached to her. Shortly after her last child's birth she became ailing in health." "The year 1819," to quote again from Mr. Cross, "is mem- orable as a culminating period of bad times and political dis- content in England. The nation was suffering acutely from the reaction after the excitement of the last Napoleonic war, Vlli INTRODUCTIOIT George XV. did not come to the throne till January, 1820, so that George Eliot was bora \\* the reign of George III. Waterloo was not yet an affair of five years old. Byron had four years, ami Goethe had thirteen years still to live. The last of Miss Austen's novels had been published only eighteen months, and the first of the Waverley series only six years before. Thackeray and Dickens were boys at school and George Sand was a girl of fifteen. That 'Greater Britain' (Canada and Australia), which to-day forms so large a reading public, was then scarcely more than a geographical expression, with less than half a million inhabitants, all told, where at present there are eight millions ; and in the United States, where more copies of George Eliot's books are now sold than in any other quarter of the world, the population then numbered less than ten millions, where to-day it is fifty-five millions. Including Great Britain, these English-speaking races have increased from thirty millions in 1820 to one hundred milHons in 1884; and with a corre- sponding increase in education we can form some conception how a popular****»«English writer's fame has widened its circle." *' There was a remoteness about a detached country house, in the England of those days, difficult for us to conceive now with our railways, penny posts, and telegraphs: nor is the Warwickshire country about Gritf an exhilarating surrounding. There are neither hills nor vales, no rivers, lakes, or sea — nothing but a monotonous succession of green fields and hedge- rows, with some fine trees. The only water to be seen is the ' Brown Canal.' The effect of such a landscape en an ordinary observer is not inspiring, but 'effective magic is transcendent nature'; and with her transcendent nature George Eliot has transfigured these scenes, dear to Midland souls, into many an iilyllic picture, known to those who know her books. In her cliildhood the great event of the day was the passing of the coach before the gate of Griff House, which lies at a bend of BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 1> the high-ro<ad between Coventry and Nuneaton, and wichin a couple of miles of the mining village of Bedworth, 'where the land began to be blackened with coal-pits, the rattle of hand- looms to be heani in hamlets and villages.

  • SILAS MARNER by George Eliot
    SILAS MARNER by George Eliot THE AUTHOR Mary Anne Evans (1819-1880) was born in Warwickshire, England, the youngest daughter of an estate agent (after whom Caleb Garth in her classic Middlemarch seems to have been modeled). She was raised as an Evangelical Protestant, but in her early twenties she turned away from the faith of her parents and rejected organized religion, becoming a freethinker. She even translated David Friedrich Strauss’ radical Life of Jesus and Ludwig Feuerbach’s The Essence of Christianity into English, and thus had an impact on the growth of theological liberalism in England. After spending several years writing for a radical political journal, she began living with married writer George Henry Lewes, creating a scandal in English society. She continued to live with him until his death in 1878. It was with Lewes’ encouragement that she began to write works of fiction under the pseudonym of George Eliot. Her first full-length novel, Adam Bede, published in 1859, was widely acclaimed, as were its successors, The Mill on the Floss and Silas Marner. After trying her hand at historical and political novels, she returned to the environment she knew best with her classic Middlemarch, published in serial form in 1871-2. In 1880, she married John Walter Cross, who was twenty years her junior. She died two months later. George Eliot is best remembered as a writer who possessed peerless insight into human character. She understood and communicated with great skill the motives and intents of the heart, and demonstrated herself to be a shrewd observer of the English class system and its fine distinctions.

POLITICS AND PASTORAL IN SILAS MARNER By Barbara Hardy When eighteen-year-old sumameless Eppie stands by Silas Mamer and against Godfrey Cass she joins a line of subversive children in Victorianfiction. Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre speaks out against her aunt; Dickens's Oliver Twist asks for more gruel; his Paul Dombey asks the capitalist father,'What is money after all?' One child rebels against adult power; one against institutional power; one against the cash nexus. The children are all economic dependants but there is no emphasis on class. Oliver behaves like a little gentleman; Paul is a little gentleman; Jane tells Brocklehurst she would not like to be poor, and goes to a charitable school for children of gentlefolk. Eppie's father is gentry, her mother a barmaid, but she is the only one of these four rebels who is working-class by upbringing, who chooses the working class, and who rejects the upper class.

  • George Eliot on Stage and Screen
    George Eliot on Stage and Screen MARGARET HARRIS* Certain Victorian novelists have a significant 'afterlife' in stage and screen adaptations of their work: the Brontes in numerous film versions of Charlotte's Jane Eyre and of Emily's Wuthering Heights, Dickens in Lionel Bart's musical Oliver!, or the Royal Shakespeare Company's Nicholas Nickleby-and so on.l Let me give a more detailed example. My interest in adaptations of Victorian novels dates from seeing Roman Polanski's film Tess of 1979. I learned in the course of work for a piece on this adaptation of Thomas Hardy's novel Tess of the D'Urbervilles of 1891 that there had been a number of stage adaptations, including one by Hardy himself which had a successful professional production in London in 1925, as well as amateur 'out of town' productions. In Hardy's lifetime (he died in 1928), there was an opera, produced at Covent Garden in 1909; and two film versions, in 1913 and 1924; together with others since.2 Here is an index to or benchmark of the variety and frequency of adaptations of another Victorian novelist than George Eliot. It is striking that George Eliot hardly has an 'afterlife' in such mediations. The question, 'why is this so?', is perplexing to say the least, and one for which I have no satisfactory answer. The classic problem for film adaptations of novels is how to deal with narrative standpoint, focalisation, and authorial commentary, and a reflex answer might hypothesise that George Eliot's narrators pose too great a challenge.

IN JANET DEMPSTER'S FOOTSTEPS: A REMINISCENCE By David Harper The road from Trent Valley Station down towards the town centre curves gently past the row of horse-chestnuts in Bond Gate with their white candles. To the young boy arriving to take up residence in Nuneaton it promised something new, always interesting, always just out of reach. From my earliest years I was a keen reader and felt the privilege of our local author's being one of the unquestioned greats; but it was George Eliot's north Warwickshire that initially attracted me, with The Mill on the Floss and Si/as Marner my favourites. This was reinforced by cycling the lanes for miles around, admiring the cottages and farmhouses, absorbing the atmosphere of the churches and, though much less consciously than she expressed it in a letter, 'being made happier by seeing well-cultivated land'.

By Jen Davis In 1861 Henry Crabb Robinson compared George Eliot's Silas Mamer with Coleridge's 'The Ancient Mariner'. He noted the novel's 'great affinity' with the poem: 'A little child, its mother having frozen to death at his solitary hovel, is taken in by Silas [ ... ]. It is to him what the blessing of the animals is to the Ancient Mariner.' 1 In 1977, U. C. Knoepflmacher argued that: '[b]oth The Mill on the Floss and Silas Mamer hark back to those poems of severance, loss, and expiation that had haunted the imaginations of Coleridge and Wordsworth at the turn of the century,.2 Elsewhere, Knoepflmacher has suggested that '[t]he man called "Old Master Mamer" belongs and does not belong to that disinherited race of wanderers who roam through the Lyrical Ballads.
