George Eliot wrote her seventh novel about "Daniel Deronda", an English gentleman who meets a dying young visionary named Mordecai who believes that Deronda has been divinely called to lead the Jewish people back to Israel. He objects that he isn't even Jewish, only to discover that he is...and the story unfolds. 20 years before Herzl wrote his watershed "Jewish State" and 10 years before "Zionism" was a word, Eliot's novel was the first Zionist manifesto.
