George Eliot, 1876
Details
Daniel Deronda
George Eliot, 1876
ELIOT, George (1819-1880). Daniel Deronda. Edinburgh and London: William Blackwood and Sons, February-September 1876.
First edition in original parts. Daniel Deronda tells the story of an aristocratic young man who, in rescuing a young woman, is introduced to Jewish life in Victorian London. Eliot's clear sympathetic support for the Zionist cause made this work, which was to be her last novel, also her most controversial. In spite of her readers' seeming reluctance to accept the Jewish element of the story, the novel was a success for Eliot, selling 8,000 copies of the edition in parts. Baker & Ross A11.1a.
Eight volumes, octavo. Original printed gray-green wrappers (repairs to backstrips affecting a couple of prices, hinges reinforced, some soiling to covers, repair to corner of rear cover of vol. 7; vols 2, 3, and 4 lacking slips announcing next part and vol 2 lacking erratum; vols 2, 3, and 5 with extra advert leaves not mentioned in the bibliographies); custom box.
