Romola de George Eliot

Romola

Autor George Eliot
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 noi 2008
ROMOLA (1862-63) by British Victorian woman author George Eliot is a complex historical novel of Renaissance Florence. Young, handsome, and ambitious scholar Tito Melema falls in love with the erudite and intelligent Romola, daughter of another scholar and convinces her to marry him. In a mock ceremony Tito also marries a naïve young Florentine girl Tessa.
Political and religious upheaval fills the city, plague spreads, and events reveal Tito to be a dishonorable and cowardly schemer who betrays the trust of his adoptive father. Otherworldly and charitable Romola is thrust in the middle of this personal and political conflict, and her fate becomes entwined with historical events, and with Tessa, the "other wife."
A sophisticated and many-layered psychological masterpiece by the author of MIDDLEMARCH.

Notă biografică

Mary Anne Evans (22 November 1819 - 22 December 1880; alternatively Mary Ann or Marian), known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels, including Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862-63), Middlemarch (1871-72), and Daniel Deronda (1876), most of which are set in provincial England and known for their realism and psychological insight. Although female authors were published under their own names during her lifetime, she wanted to escape the stereotype of women's writing being limited to lighthearted romances. She also wanted to have her fiction judged separately from her already extensive and widely known work as an editor and critic. Another factor in her use of a pen name may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny, thus avoiding the scandal that would have arisen because of her relationship with the married George Henry Lewes.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Romola, George Eliot's only historical novel, always occupied a special place in her own affections. Looking back at the end of her career, she remarked `I could swear by every sentence as having been written with my best blook'. Henry James called it `on the whole the finest thing she wrote'. Yet since its first appearance the novel has perplexed many of George Eliot's admirers by the range and density of its historical references. The Clarendon Edition, based on the original Cornhill serialization with emendations from later authoritative editions, traces and explains the allusions and provides a comprehensive account of the composition and publishing history of the novel: it confirms Romola as one of George Eliot's greatest artistic achievements.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

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.

Recenzii

`The fine introduction and rich annotations constitute a full scholarly book in their own right.'Nineteenth-Century Literature
'Brown's hard copy text and edition is as close to electronic hypertext as is imagineable ... a model of scholarly editing richly laced with information on George Eliot ... Brown's Romola is a must for all English Collections; it is a monument to unageing intellect.'W. Baker, Northern Illinois University, Choice
'Brown's introduction, in which he comments that practically every detail of Romola can be connected to this reading, communicates a sense of discovery which appears to have survived his many years of editorial labour. It is a particularly valuable aspect of his achievement in producing this edition of Romola that it can help open up Eliot's hitherto 'least accessible' novel to a wider variety of readers.'Delia De Sousa Correa, New College, Oxford. Notes and Queries Sept '94
as meticulous and well-produced as is usual in this series.
