About this ebook
Romola, the dutiful daughter of a blind scholar in Renaissance Florence, is married to the politically ambitious Tito, whose machinations bring her to ruin. Forced to reinvent herself, Romola forges a bold new path in life. Published in 1862, this brilliant novel is notable for its attention to historical detail.

Author
George Eliot
George Eliot was the pseudonym for Mary Anne Evans, one of the leading writers of the Victorian era, who published seven major novels and several translations during her career. She started her career as a sub-editor for the left-wing journal The Westminster Review, contributing politically charged essays and reviews before turning her attention to novels. Among Eliot’s best-known works are Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda, in which she explores aspects of human psychology, focusing on the rural outsider and the politics of small-town life. Eliot died in 1880.
