A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of George Eliot's powerful novel
starring Anna Chancellor as Gwendolen.
From the moment he sees her at the roulette table, the young
idealistic Daniel Deronda is drawn to Gwendolen Harleth, as she is to
him. But Gwendolen - outwardly alluring and vivacious - is forced by
circumstances into an oppressive marriage to the harsh aristocrat
Henleigh Grandcourt.
Daniel becomes torn between her and Mirah Lapidoth, a young Jewish
woman he saves from suicide, and uncertain of his own parentage,
becomes increasingly driven to find out who and what he is. When at
last he discovers the truth of his own origins his future becomes
clear.
George Eliot's last novel, with its powerful themes of morality,
provoked serious controversy on its publication. The darkness and
complexity of Eliot's work are compellingly bound together in this
enthralling dramatisation of one of literature's most emotionally
intense masterpieces.
