“Romola” is an intense, gripping historical novel set in 15th-century Italy. Penned by George Eliot, it deals with a broad spectrum of emotions and issues including love, betrayal, parenthood, revenge, greed, spirituality, and deception. Remarkably modern in her approach, Eliot has treated various facets of the human psyche with great discernment and sensitivity. A true classic!

Review:
"George Eliot's humanity colors all her other gifts--her humor, her morality, and her exquisite rhetoric." --Henry James
From the Back Cover:

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.
