Description
Daniel Deronda is a novel by George Eliot, published in 1996, which explores the intertwined lives of Gwendolene Harleth and Daniel Deronda as they search for personal and vocational fulfilment and sympathetic relationships. Set against the backdrop of the English aristocratic society of the 1860s, the novel charts their struggles against a complex web of imperialism, the oppression of women, and racial and religious prejudice. Through a radical dual narrative, Eliot challenges all solutions, ensuring that the novel remains a thought-provoking and controversial work.
