On paper the plot sounds mawkish and generic, yet the gothic elements of the novel counteract the potential sentimentality. The eerie Cotswolds landscape is practically a character in its own right, whilst the darker side of human nature prevails throughout; there is more than one dead body to be found in this sinister tale. Kingsley is magnificent as Marner, portraying his character’s oddness and hostile nature whilst engendering sympathy, particularly in his scenes with Eppie; the scene involving...

Meanwhile, Godfrey Cass, son of the squire, contracts a secret marriage. While the village...
