George Eliot and Judaism; an attempt to appreciate Daniel Deronda

Title

George Eliot and Judaism; an attempt to appreciate Daniel Deronda

Description

  • "all instances taken together of just and magnanimous treatment received by the Jews in England up to this time, can detract but little from the importance of the fact that the most celebrated authoress of the day, and the pride of English letters---George Eliot---has chose Judaism and its future as the theme of her latest imaginative creation, with a depth of comprehension hitherto unreached, and with unexampled grandeur and independence of judgement."
