Daniel Deronda

George Eliot

Crushed by a loveless marriage to the cruel and arrogant Grandcourt, Gwendolen Harleth seeks salvation in the deeply spiritual and altruistic Daniel Deronda. But Deronda, profoundly affected by the discovery of his Jewish ancestry, is ultimately too committed to his own cultural awakening to save Gwendolen from despair. George Eliots radical dual narrative constantly challenges all solutions and ensures that the novel is as controversial now, as when it first appeared.
