With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Carole Jones, freelance writer
and researcher. George Eliot's final novel, Daniel Deronda (1876),
follows the intertwining lives of the beautiful but spoiled and
selfish Gwendolene Harleth and the selfless yet alienated Daniel
Deronda, as they search for personal and vocational fulfilment and
sympathetic relationship. Set largely in the degenerate English
aristocratic society of the 1860s, Daniel Deronda charts their
search for meaningful lives against a background of imperialism,
the oppression of women, and racial and religious prejudice.
Gwendolen's attempts to escape a sadistic relationship and atone
for past actions catalyse her friendship with Deronda, while his
search for origins leads him, via Judaism, to a quest for moral
growth. Eliot's radical dual narrative constantly challenges all
solutions and ensures that the novel is as controversial now, as
when it first appeared.
