lauann717 's review for:
Daniel Deronda
by George Eliot
rip George Eliot you would’ve loved Yentl 😞
rip Gwendolen you would’ve really benefited from watching He’s Just not that Into You
On a serious note, this is really a groundbreaking book for Judaism in western literature. I mean how many popular authors in the 1870s are writing books with Jewish main characters and are discussing Jewish ideologies???? And with genuine curiosity and not prejudice??? Crazy work Mary Ann.
Also there was an especially interesting part of the book where debates about Zionism were brought up. How interesting is it to have a viewpoint from pre-WWII/creation of the state of Israel society wherein Palestine is recognized (politicians today could never). With that, I’m gonna choose to believe that Deronda’s travels to the east don’t mean he’s settling in Palestine 😬😬 he’s just a traveling lad y’all. please.
