Mar 29, 2003 · ''Daniel Deronda,'' published in 1876, was George Eliot's last and most controversial novel, dealing with anti-Semitism and other social injustices in Victorian England.
It is a very serious, very grown-up book, written with exquisite grace and humanity and intelligence. It is a book that puts its characters in situations that will squeeze your heart with sympathy, and sometimes suspense, and perhaps even horror.
