Daniel Deronda by George Eliot

First published in the year 1876, the present book ‘Daniel Deronda’ was written by one of the foremost novelists and social critic of the Victorian era George Eliot. It was the last novel she completed and the only one set in the contemporary Victorian society of her day. The work’s mixture of social satire and moral searching, along with its sympathetic rendering of Jewish proto-Zionist and Kabbalistic ideas, has made it the controversial final statement of one of the most renowned of Victorian novelists.
