Duty, Betrayal, and Awakening

A historical novel set in Renaissance Florence during the political and religious upheaval surrounding Savonarola. It follows Romola de’ Bardi, an intelligent young woman who marries the charming but selfish Tito Melema. As Tito’s betrayals become clear, Romola struggles between loyalty, personal freedom, and moral responsibility. The novel explores conscience, duty, and the search for a meaningful life.

First published in 1862 and 1863, this edition is derived from the original series with over 39 black & white illustrations by Sir Frederic Leighton. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.

George Eliot

was the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, one of the most important novelists of the Victorian era. Born on November 22, 1819, in Warwickshire, England, she grew up in the rural countryside that would later inspire the richly detailed settings of her fiction. Exceptionally intelligent and deeply curious, Evans received a broad education unusual for women of her time. She became fluent in several languages, studied philosophy and religion, and worked as a translator and editor, gaining recognition for her intellectual rigor before turning to fiction.
