The controversial final statement of one of the most renowned of Victorian novelists, Daniel Deronda played a positively influential role in on the emergence of Jewish Zionism upon publication in 1876. The book was immediately translated into German and Dutch and has been cited by Henrietta Szold, Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, and Emma Lazarus as having been influential in their decision to become Zionists.
