Daniel Deronda

ByGeorge Eliot

Published by Blackwood in 1876, Daniel Deronda was Eliot’s last novel and, in some respects at least, her most divisive as far as critics are concerned. The plot traverses two strands with the eponymous Deronda on one side and Gwendolen Harleth on the other. Allowing the two characters to meet at the start of the novel, Eliot uses flashbacks and current plot developments to explore their characters and contrast their fortunes. Daniel Deronda is noted for its examination of Jewish faith and society, told through Deronda’s discovered past and his increasing involvement as the plot progresses. This is contrasted with the immoral nature of Gwendolin’s upper class society which, for the most part, is found wanting.
