About the book

George Eliot's Romola is a historical novel set in Renaissance Florence during the turbulent years following the death of Lorenzo de' Medici. The story follows Romola de' Bardi, an intelligent and principled young woman whose marriage to the charming but deeply selfish Tito Melema gradually becomes a source of disillusionment. Against a background of political unrest, religious reform and the influence of Savonarola, Eliot explores morality, betrayal, duty and personal awakening.
