George Eliot’s Romola can be considered as a kind of fresco, representing a phase of civilisation that includes elements drawn from Greek and Roman culture as well as Christian thought and belief. Romola is best read not as a historical novel, with an emphasis on fiction and narrative, but as an exploration of the differing elements at play in the humanist culture of Renaissance Italy.

Abstract
George Eliot’s Romola can be considered as a kind of fresco, representing a phase of civilisation that includes elements drawn from Greek and Roman culture as well as Christian thought and belief. Romola is best read not as a historical novel, with an emphasis on fiction and narrative, but as an exploration of the differing elements at play in the humanist culture of Renaissance Italy.File in questo prodotto:
