Genoa is a Mediterranean porty city in the Italian region of Liguria (Britannica). It serves as a scene of revelation and tragedy in George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda, playing host to Deronda’s discovery of his Jewish heritage and the death of Gwendolen Harleth’s husband, Grandcourt. Genoa, and Italy as a whole, have been connected to Judaism throughout history. In 1797, the region of Liguria was taken over by France, which instituted a policy of religious tolerance (Rossi 113).
