George Eliot - Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe (Illustrated) (1861) Notes: *Hyphens/dashes are used instead of em dashes (long dashes) with no space between hyphens & words. In the several instances of sentences containing both hyphenated words as well as parenthetical information which would usually have an em dash, the exclusive use of hyphens without spacing leads to a string of words broken up only by hyphens, which can be disruptive to the flow of the text.
