Abstract
Abstract:This essay re-examines George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda by way of Edward’s Said’s readings, and argues that in this novel Eliot helps usher into being a Zionism infused with the ideas and feelings of an earlier generation of British Romantics. With allusions to Romantics like Walter Scott and William Wordsworth, Eliot’s literary rendering of Zionism includes Romanticism’s elements of fellow-feeling and providential futurity. The novel’s reception by European Zionists facilitated the mixing of Romantic ideology into Zionism; understanding these future-oriented and sympathetic elements helps us better understand Zionism more generally.
期刊介绍：
Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
