Romola
Autor George Eliot Editat de Dorothea Barretten Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iun 1996
Romola is set 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," Romola 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.

Descriere
Although not among George Eliot's most admired works, this story is set in Florence at the end of the 15th century. It re-creates the picturesque complexion of the city and the characters of the historical figures, Charles VIII, Machiavelli and Savanorola.
Recenzii
The most exotic of George Eliot’s works, Romola recounts the story of the famous religious leader Savonarola in Florence at the time of Machiavelli and the Medicis. Of all her novels, this was the author’s favourite.
No other Eliot novel was illustrated in its first edition. Romola, however, was sought by George Smith for serialization in the prestigious illustrated Cornhill Magazine. Smith commissioned illustrations for the novel from the rising young artist Frederick Leighton, who had studied in Florence in the 1840s and had frequently painted Florentine Renaissance subjects. Romola was serialised with the Leighton illustrations in the magazine from July 1862 to August 1863. It was first published in book form in 1863; the first edition was published by Smith, Elder in three volumes, and a one-volume edition in two-column format with all but one of the Leighton illustrations was published later that year by Harper & Brothers in the United States. This facsimile reprint is of the one-volume 1863 Harper & Brothers edition, and includes 8 pages of original advertisements from the back of the book.
This is one of a series from Broadview Press of facsimile reprint editions—editions that provide readers with a direct sense of these works as the Victorians themselves experienced them.
