Historical Fiction Eliot, George: Daniel Deronda (Annotated). v1 11 Oct 2018

[AlexBell]

Mary Ann (or Marian) Evans (1819-1880) was an editor, translator, poet, essayist, short story writer, and novelist who wrote under the name of George Eliot for all but one of her books.

The first of the eight books of her last novel Daniel Deronda was published in March 1876, and the other books were published monthly until September. It was her last novel, was the only one set in her contemporary society, and has social satire and moral themes and an account of proto-Zionist and Kabbalistic ideas.

Like her other books it contains passages in foreign languages, and references to events or characters in classical literature. I have tried to translate the shorter foreign language passages and to provide explanations as end notes.

The source text was taken from the University of Adelaide ebook library, and checked against the Penguin Classics edition.
