Summary

"Cranford" is the best known and most charming of Elizabeth Gaskell's novels. It is a comic portrait of an early Victorian country village and its genteel inhabitants, mostly women, whose social attitudes remain firmly unchanging against the modernising world, and whose domestic details dominate conversation. Gaskell describes the uneventful lives of Cranford's inhabitants in this witty and poignant classic which deserves to be read and re-read.
Available since: 06/08/2023.

    Silas Marner

    Though brief in length, George Eliot’s (Mary Ann Evans) Silas Marner is a beautifully nuanced tale. It touches on many themes such as social acceptance, the harshness of legalistic religion, the equally harsh consequences of familial expectations and the power of a simple but fierce redemptive love. 
The touching story is gently unfolded by Eliot in writing which beautifully captures the tragic disfunctions of the Cass family and the humorous characters of Raveloe who slowly grow to accept the strange Weaver in their midst. At its heart is Silas Marner himself, enigmatic and remote to those who don’t know him, but we who are allowed to glimpse his bruised heart, know that restoration may still be his. 
Head Stories Audio presents Silas Marner by George Eliot. Narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
