Description: The story opens memorably at a roulette table, where we first meet the young and idealisticThe story opens memorably at a roulette table, where we first meet the young and idealistic Daniel Deronda and the enchanting Gwendolen Harleth—whom many critics consider to be George Eliot’s finest creation. Although the two are immediately drawn to one another, Gwendolen—outwardly alluring and vivacious, inwardly complex and unsettled—is forced by circumstance into an oppressive marriage with the harsh aristocratic Henleigh Grandcourt.

Jane Austen and George Eliott cover similar subject matter (the class structure of Victorian England), but Eliott's characters seem within reach. They are country people of modest to moderate means, rather than Austen's relative suburbia, with its leaning toward the gentry.
