About this book

Set in Renaissance Florence during the turbulent age of the fiery preacher Savonarola, Eliot's ambitious historical novel follows the noble-hearted Romola as she is betrayed by her charming, faithless husband Tito and finds her own moral awakening amid the city's political and religious upheaval. Meticulously researched and richly atmospheric, it recreates fifteenth-century Italy while exploring conscience, duty, and integrity. Though more demanding than her English novels, Romola is a powerful study of a woman's ethical growth against a vividly rendered historical backdrop. Ambitious and morally searching, it stands as Eliot's grand experiment in the historical form and a compelling portrait of Florence in crisis.
