George Eliot was essentially a novelist of intellectual life and her psychological insight into human motives and springs of action is deep and profound. Her third novel Silas Marner is realistic and concrete presentation of the life of the Midland counties of Warwickshire and Derbyshire which she had intimately known. Realism and faithful portraiture of life and characters known to her are the hallmarks of this novel in which through her rustic characters George Eliot provides plenty of grave and ironic humour. Shakti Batra has been Vice-Principal, Dyal Singh College (University of Delhi), has also taught at the Kabul University and the University of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek.
