WEDNESDAY 25 NOVEMBER 2026, 4 PM RISCOPERTA DELLE RADICI – Prophecy and relevance in Daniel Deronda 150 years later Seminar curated by Gigliola Sacerdoti Mariani There is a parallelism between the Victorian writer George Eliot and the German socialist philosopher Moses Hess, that is an ideal link that seems to draw inspiration from Baruch Spinoza and Giuseppe Mazzini. Both Hess, with his foundational 1862 work Rome and Jerusalem, and Eliot, with the novel Daniel Deronda of 1876, see in the Italian Risorgimento the perfect model that the Jewish people must follow in order to rediscover their national and spiritual independence.
