Romola is a historical novel set in 15th-century Florence by George Eliot. Originally serialized in Cornhill Magazine from 1862 to 1863, the first book edition was published in 3 volumes in 1863. It is set in the fifteenth century, and is "a deep study of life in the city of Florence from an intellectual, artistic, religious, and social point of view". When Christopher Columbus has sailed towards the New World, a Florentine trader meets a shipwrecked stranger, Tito Melema, a young Italianate-Greek scholar. Tito becomes acquainted with two young girls, Tessa and Romola. As Tito becomes settled in Florence, assisting Bardo with classical studies, he falls in love with Romola. However, Tessa falls in love with Tito, and the two are "married" in a mock ceremony. Later, Romola is taken by a boat to a small village affected by the Plague, and she helps the survivors. Romola's experience gives her a new purpose in life and she returns to Florence. Romola takes care of Tessa and her two children, with the help of her older cousin. The story ends with Romola imparting advice to Tessa's son, based on her own experiences and the influences in her life.
