One of George Eliot's most ambitious and imaginative novels
Romola is set in Renaissance Florence during the turbulent years following the expulsion of the powerful Medici family. At its heart is Romola, the devoted daughter of a blind scholar, married to the clever but ultimately treacherous Tito. Her husband's duplicity in both love and politics threatens to destroy everything she values, and she must break away to find her own path in life. Described by Eliot as "written with my best blood", the story of Romola's intellectual and spiritual awakening is a compelling portrayal of a Utopian heroine, played out against a turbulent historical backdrop.
In her introduction, Dorothea Barrett examines Eliot's life and literary career, and issues of gender, language and history. This edition also includes further reading, glossaries and notes.
