‘Daniel Deronda, ‘ the final novel by George Eliot, published in 1876, is a complex and ambitious work that intertwines two distinct narratives. The first follows Gwendolen Harleth, a proud and beautiful woman facing a moral crisis and downfall after a misguided marriage. The second narrative introduces Daniel Deronda, a young man of uncertain lineage, who becomes increasingly interested in Jewish culture and identity after meeting Mirah Lapidoth, a Jewish singer.
The novel explores themes of destiny, identity, and the search for spiritual meaning. It is significant for its sympathetic portrayal of Jewish characters and culture at a time when such depictions were rare in English literature. ‘Daniel Deronda’ is celebrated for its rich character development and its exploration of Victorian society, gender roles, and religious identity.
