Description
London: Smith, Elder and Co, 1863. First edition. Three octavo volumes (7 1/4 x 4 5/8 inches; 184 x 117 mm.). iv, 336; iv, 333, [1, imprint]; iv, 292, pp. Blank end-leaves foxed and some light foxing to preliminaries. Bound ca. 1865 in three quarter dark blue pebble-grain morocco over marbled boards, ruled in gilt. Spines with five raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, matching marbled end-papers, all edges gilt. A very good set in an attractive and near contemporary binding. George Eliot sets her historical novel Romola in late-fifteenth century Florence. Victorian Britain was captivated by the arts and culture of Renaissance Italy, and this novel perfectly depicts the vivacity of that period as it lived in contemporary minds. The story follows the morally upright Romola de' Bardi, classical scholar's daughter, and a colorful cast of characters as they navigate political and religious turmoil. It was first published serially in fourteen parts for Cornhill Magazine (between 1862-1863). Mary Ann Evans (1819 -1880), pen name George Eliot, was a prolific writer best known for her novels Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862-63), Middlemarch (1871-1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876), to name just a few. Sadleir 817; Parrish pp. 17/18; Wolff, 2061; Baker & Ross, A7.2.
