Daniel Deronda Author: George Eliot

ISBN: 9780140434279 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 896 Published: 1 February 1996 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.6 x 13.2 x 3.7 Description: As Daniel Deronda opens, Gwendolen Harleth is poised at the roulette-table, prepared to throw away her family fortune. She is observed by Daniel Deronda, a young man groomed in the finest tradition of the English upper classes. And while Gwendolen loses everything and becomes trapped in an oppressive marriage, Deronda's fortunes take a different turn. After a dramatic encounter with the young Jewish woman Mirah, he becomes involved in a search for her lost family and finds himself drawn into ever-deeper sympathies with Jewish aspirations and identity. 'I meant everything in the book to be related to everything else,' wrote George Eliot of her last and perhaps most ambitious novel, and in weaving her plot strands together she created a bold and richly textured picture of British society and the Jewish experience within it.

In his introduction, Terence Cave examines the ways in which the novel stands apart from earlier and contemporary works in its romance and realism, in its characters' search for identity and in its defiance of prejudice.
