Description: George Eliot Novel "Romola" published by Fields, Osgood and Company 1869. Hard back copy. One of George Eliot's most ambitious and imaginative novels, Romola is set in Renaissance Florence during the turbulent years following the expulsion of the powerful Medici family during which the zealous religious reformer Savonarola rose to control the city. In the narrative, Tito, a handsome but scheming Greek opportunist, marries Romola, the daughter of a scholar.
