Description
George Eliot’s final novel, “Daniel Deronda,” first published in 1876, unleashed a storm of debate in the English press—no wonder: for the first time in the history of British literature, George Eliot touched the painful subject of the covert antisemitism of English society, rife with secret xenophobia and national prejudices.
But while the novel’s “national” theme has lost its sharp relevance in our day, time has benefited only its second line—psychological. The story of the complex, multifaceted relationship between the young Daniel and the greatest love of his life—Gwendolen, a selfish, arrogant, authoritarian, and hopelessly married beauty—has outpaced Victorian literature with its ambiguity, and even now looks surprisingly modern.
