by George Eliot (Author), Andrew Brown (Editor)
The most exotic and adventurous of George Eliot's novels, Romola reconstructs a turning-point in the intellectual history of Europe by charting the career and martyrdom of the charismatic religious leader Savonarola, who rebelled against the humanist spirit of the age and burned books on a 'bonfire of vanities'.
