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 (1819–1880), born Mary Ann Evans, was an English writer best known for her poetry and novels. She grew up in a conservative environment where she received a Christian education. An avid reader, Eliot expanded her horizons on religion, science and free thinkers. Her earliest writings included an anonymous English translation of The Life of Jesus in 1846 before embracing a career as a fiction writer. Some of her most notable works include Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss(1860) and Silas Marner.
