Led by Harvard Professor Ruth Wisse, Comparative Literature In eight definitive lectures, Harvard Professor Ruth Wisse explores the greatest novel of Jewish nationalism, guiding you through the drama, the romance, the politics, and the moral imagination of Daniel Deronda. Deronda is uniquely suited to our time because it presents characters struggling with the same forces we struggle with today: the breakdown of inherited custom and morality, the fruits and challenges of love influenced by society, religious identity and the place of the nation in the world. A comprehensive study guide is included that explores the themes of each episode with key passages from Daniel Deronda and discussion questions.
