George Eliot's notebooks from the years 1872-77 contain memoranda
of her reading while she was preparing for and writing Daniel
Deronda, together with the 'Oriental Memoranda' and other notes she
recorded in the year following the novel's publication. Above all,
the notebooks reveal her acquisition of a wide range of learning
about Judaism and provide insight into the creative process of
integrating that learning into Daniel Deronda. One of these
notebooks is published in this 1996 book; others are offered in new
transcriptions. They are all presented in a form which demonstrates
the intellectual coherence underlying the diversity of the
memoranda: translations are provided for the notes in German,
French, Italian, Greek, and Hebrew; explanatory notes are offered,
and interpretative links are made to the novel; primary sources are
traced and the chronology of Eliot's reading outlined.
