Plot overview
Introduction
What you need to know
The whole novel in brief, part by part, and how Silas's story and Godfrey's run side by side across two parts set sixteen years apart.
Where each part's key moments fall, from Silas's fifteenth year in Raveloe to Eppie's wedding, and the sixteen years between Part One and Part Two.
How Silas's story and Godfrey's meet when Eppie walks into Silas's cottage, from 'In the days when the spinning-wheels hummed busily' to 'I think nobody could be happier than we are'.
Eduqas's essay on this novel marks context as much as response and analysis: weave context into the argument, and treat the printed extract as a starting point, ranging across the beginning, middle and end of the novel.
