Blackfriars Bridge

 

Blackfriars Bridge is a bridge in London that sits over the River Thames. It was constructed in the 1700's and still stands as of today. In Daniel Deronda, this was the place where Daniel became more understanding of Mordecai and his belief of souls being changed into another form. The reason that they are here at the bridge is because this was how Mordecai saw his spiritual heir rising out of the sunset in his vision. In the novel when this is taking place, this is Mordecai's way of permitting Daniel to approach Mordecai by water. 

Magdeburg, Germany

 

Anti-Semitism ("hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious or racial group") is notably exposed within Daniel Deronda. This term was coined by Wilhelm Marr, a German agitator (born in Magdeburg, Germany), to "designate the anti-Jewish campaigns under way in central Europe. This would eventually lead to Nazi anti-Semitism (or the Holocaust) because of the racist dimension which targeted Jews. 

the Three Barns, Wessex.

The fictitious Three Barns is the scene for which Rex Gascoigne takes Gwendolen to a hounds throw. A hounds throw is a traditional, stuffy, aristocratic British pastime that involves hunting for wild game on horseback with the aid of sporting dogs (Encyclopædia Britannica). This scene was particularly pivotal in Daniel Deronda, for it characterizes Gwendolen as brazen in her anti-conformation to Victorian notions of femininity.

London: Jane and her brother Henry travel there to meet with publishers. This is also where Henry and his wife Eliza (Jane’s Cousin—I will explain this in my “extra things I noticed" section after my written report) live and she visits them often.

Jane: Bath

Bath: Jane visited bath a few times in her life. Before moving to Bath after her father announced his retirement in 1801, she visited her brother James and his wife in 1797, and then travels there again with her mother in 1799.
