Embittered and alienated from his fellow man, he moves to the village of Raveloe, where he becomes a weaver.

Then one dark evening, a beautiful, golden-haired child, lost and seeing the light from Silass cottage, toddles in through his doorway. As Silas grows to love the girl as if she were his own daughter, his life changes into something precious. But his happiness is threatened when the orphans real father comes to claim the girl as his own, and Silas must face losing a treasure greater than all the gold in the world. &&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RThis volume also includes two shorter works by Eliot-&&LI&&RThe Lifted Veil&&L/I&&R, a dark Gothic fantasy about a morbid young clairvoyant, and &&LI&&RBrother Jacob&&L/I&&R, a deliciously satirical fable about a confectioners apprentice.&&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&R &&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LB&&RGeorge Levine&&L/B&&R is Kenneth Burke Professor of English Literature at Rutgers University, and director of the Universitys Center for the Critical Analysis of Contemporary Culture.
