I read this story in a different version one year ago. These two versions are slightly different. For example, this version has a chapter in which Silas and Eppie visited his old town and were upset by how much it changed. There are some explanations of the background, such as mentioning the publication of Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species" evolutionary theory, and the British industrial revolution. It is very interesting.
