Book Synopsis Silas Marner - Literary Touchstone Edition by : George Eliot
Download or read book Silas Marner - Literary Touchstone Edition written by George Eliot and published by Prestwick House Inc. This book was released on 2006 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classic? includes a glossary and reader's notes to help the modern reader contend with Eliot?s subtle themes and language.Silas Marner, which first appeared in 1861, is a tale about life, love, and the need to belong. Accused of a crime he didn?t commit and unjustly forced from his home town, Silas lives a reclusive and godless life, finding love and companionship only in material objects. It will take the theft of his gold and the discovery of an abandoned infant to remind him of the importance of human relationships and faith.Mary Ann Evans, writing under her pen name of George Eliot, carefully weaves the interaction of plot and character, and, in so doing, depicts Silas Marner?s redemption and rebirth through his love and protection of the orphaned girl and the possibility of losing her. Throughout the book, Eliot also takes the opportunity to voice her feelings about industrialization, religion, and social class distinctions.

Book excerpt: Neue Übersetzung ins Deutsche: Der Roman spielt in den frühen Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts. Silas Marner, ein Weber, ist Mitglied einer kleinen calvinistischen Gemeinde in Lantern Yard, einer Slumstraße in Nordengland. Er wird fälschlicherweise beschuldigt, das Geld der Gemeinde gestohlen zu haben, während er sich um den schwerkranken Diakon kümmerte. Zwei Indizien belasten Silas: ein Taschenmesser und der Fund der Tasche, in der sich das Geld befand, in seinem Haus. Es liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass Silas' bester Freund, William Dane, ihn reingelegt hat, da Silas sein Taschenmesser kurz vor der Tat an William verliehen hatte. In dem Glauben - den auch Silas teilt -, dass Gott den Prozess lenken und die Wahrheit herausfinden wird, werden Lose gezogen, die jedoch darauf hindeuten, dass Silas schuldig ist. Die Frau, die Silas heiraten sollte, löst die Verlobung und heiratet stattdessen William. Sein Leben ist zerrüttet, sein Vertrauen in Gott verloren und sein Herz gebrochen. Silas verlässt Lantern Yard und die Stadt und zieht in eine ländliche Gegend, wo er unbekannt ist. Silas reist nach Süden in die Midlands und lässt sich in der Nähe des ländlichen Dorfes Raveloe in Warwickshire nieder, wo er isoliert und allein lebt und neben seiner Arbeit als Leinenweber nur minimalen Kontakt zu den Einwohnern hat. Er widmet sich mit ganzem Herzen seinem Handwerk und liebt die Goldmünzen, die er mit seiner Weberei verdient und hortet. In einer nebligen Nacht werden Silas' zwei Säcke mit Gold von Dunstan ("Dunsey") Cass gestohlen, einem ausschweifenden jüngeren Sohn von Squire Cass, dem führenden Landbesitzer der Stadt. Als Silas den Diebstahl entdeckt, versinkt er in eine tiefe Depression, obwohl die Dorfbewohner versuchen, ihm zu helfen. Dunsey verschwindet sofort, aber die Gemeinde macht sich wenig aus diesem Verschwinden, da er schon mehrmals verschwunden ist. Godfrey Cass, Dunseys älterer Bruder, birgt ebenfalls eine geheime Vergangenheit. Er ist mit Molly Farren, einer opiumsüchtigen Arbeiterin, die in einer anderen Stadt lebt, verheiratet, aber von ihr entfremdet. Dieses Geheimnis hindert Godfrey daran, Nancy Lammeter, eine junge Frau aus der Mittelschicht, zu heiraten. In einer Winternacht versucht Molly, sich mit ihrem zweijährigen Mädchen auf den Weg zur Silvesterparty von Squire Cass zu machen, um zu verkünden, dass sie Godfreys Frau ist. Auf dem Weg dorthin bricht sie im Schnee zusammen und verliert das Bewusstsein. Das Kind wandert in Silas' Haus. Silas folgt den Spuren des Kindes im Schnee und entdeckt, dass die Frau tot ist. Als er auf der Party um Hilfe bittet, begibt sich Godfrey an die Unfallstelle, beschließt aber, niemandem zu sagen, dass Molly seine Frau war. Mollys Tod bedeutet für Godfrey und Nancy das Ende der Ehe. Silas behält das Kind und nennt es Eppie, nach seiner verstorbenen Mutter und seiner Schwester, die beide Hephzibah heißen. Eppie verändert das Leben von Silas völlig. Silas ist seines materiellen Goldes beraubt worden, glaubt aber, dass er es in Form des goldhaarigen Kindes symbolisch zurückerhält. Godfrey Cass ist nun frei, Nancy zu heiraten, verheimlicht ihr aber weiterhin die Tatsache seiner früheren Ehe - und des Kindes -. Allerdings unterstützt er Marner bei der Pflege von Eppie mit gelegentlichen finanziellen Zuwendungen. Mehr praktische Hilfe und Unterstützung bei der Erziehung des Kindes bietet Dolly Winthrop, Marners freundliche Nachbarin. Dollys Hilfe und Ratschläge helfen Marner nicht nur bei der Erziehung von Eppie, sondern auch bei der Eingliederung in die Dorfgesellschaft. Sechzehn Jahre vergehen, und Eppie wächst zum Stolz des Dorfes heran. Sie hat eine starke Bindung zu Silas, der durch sie einen Platz in der ländlichen Gesellschaft und einen Sinn im Leben gefunden hat. Währenddessen trauern Godfrey und Nancy über ihre eigene Kinderlosigkeit nach dem Tod ihres Babys. Schließlich wird das Skelett von Dunstan Cass ...

Book Synopsis The Victorian Novel of Adulthood by : Rebecca Rainof
Download or read book The Victorian Novel of Adulthood written by Rebecca Rainof and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-09 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Victorian Novel of Adulthood, Rebecca Rainof confronts the conventional deference accorded the bildungsroman as the ultimate plot model and quintessential expression of Victorian nation building. The novel of maturity, she contends, is no less important to our understanding of narrative, Victorian culture, and the possibilities of fiction. Reading works by Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Henry James, John Henry Newman, and Virginia Woolf, Rainof exposes the little-discussed theological underpinnings of plot and situates the novel of maturity in intellectual and religious history, notably the Oxford Movement. Purgatory, a subject hotly debated in the period, becomes a guiding metaphor for midlife adventure in secular fiction. Rainof discusses theological models of gradual maturation, thus directing readers’ attention away from evolutionary theory and geology, and offers a new historical framework for understanding Victorian interest in slow and deliberate change.
Book Synopsis Strangers and the Enchantment of Space in Victorian Fiction, 1830–1865 by : Kristen Pond
Download or read book Strangers and the Enchantment of Space in Victorian Fiction, 1830–1865 written by Kristen Pond and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the origins of how we think about strangers to the Victorian period, Strangers and the Enchantment of Space in Victorian Fiction, 1830-1865 explores the vital role strangers had in shaping social relations during the cultural transformations of the industrial revolution, transportation technologies, and globalization. While studies of nineteenth-century Britain tend to trace the rise of an aloof cosmopolitanism and distancing narrative strategies, this volume calls attention to the personalizing impulse in nineteenth-century literary form, investigating the deeply personal reflections on individual and national identities. In her book, Dr. Pond leads the reader through homes of the urban poor, wandering the Great Exhibition in the Crystal Palace, loitering in suburban neighborhoods, riding the railway, and touring a country estate. Readers will experience how the ordinary can be enchanting, and how the mundane can be unexpected, discovering a new way of thinking about strangers and their influence on our lives. Through an examination of the short and long fictional forms of Martineau, Dickens, Brontë, Gaskell, and Braddon, this study locates the figure of the stranger as a powerful topos in the story Victorian literature and the ethics of social relations. This book will be ideal for those seeking to understand the dynamics of the stranger in Victorian fiction as a figure for understanding the changing dynamics of social relations in England in the early nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the very infancy of the film industry, filmmakers have relied heavily upon literature as the foundation for their movie material.

In recent years, Nick Hornsby's About a Boy and each of Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary novels were the basis for popular movies bearing the same names. A guide to English-language works that have been adapted as theatrical and television films, this volume includes books (both fiction and non-fiction), short stories, newspaper and magazine articles and poems. Entries are arranged alphabetically by literary title with cross-listings for films made under different titles. Each entry includes the original work's title, author, year of first publication, literary prizes, and a brief plot summary.
