Foucault’s concept of episteme demonstrates the acknowledged perspectives on a prominent subject in the society. In order to prove the people’s perspectives on the Jews in the nineteenth century, Chris Snodgrass has explored the Jews’ conditions in that time. He reveals the views which have suppressed the Jews in that time. Snodgrass states that in 1850 only about 20.000 Jews resided in London with an even smaller number in the rest of Great Britain.

In order to show their views on the Jews, Foucauldian power and the theory of power/knowledge are discussed in the novel.
Deronda carries the nineteenth century people’s dominant views on the Jews in the novel. ’’Deronda, like his neighbors, had regarded Judaism as a sort of eccentric fossilized form which an accomplished man might dispense with studying, and leave to specialists’’ (Eliot, 2003, 197).
