Daniel Deronda, George Eliot’s final novel, offers a powerful exploration of identity, morality, and society in late Victorian England. The narrative opens with the enigmatic encounter between the spirited Gwendolen Harleth and the introspective Daniel Deronda at a roulette table in the fictional town of Leubronn. As Gwendolen becomes entangled in an oppressive marriage, Daniel is drawn into a deeper understanding of himself through relationships that connect him to Jewish heritage and aspirations. With intertwined plotlines—ranging from English upper-class salons to stories of exile, loss, and spiritual awakening—Eliot challenges conventional Victorian themes, weaving a complex tale of cultural belonging, gender roles, and personal transformation. This edition, edited with an introduction by Terence Cave, brings fresh insight to one of the boldest and most visionary novels of its time.
