First published in 1998, this volume proposes to shift the critical
emphasis from a canonical author to her uncanonical text - from
George Eliot to her novel Romola - and contends that this choice
both broadens the range of interpretive possibilities and brings
them into sharper focus. The editors invited a variety of critics
to put their different critical models to work on Romola and the
results are fertile and suggestive: among the issues explored here
are the domestic politics of marriage, the relationship between
narrative and epistemology, the materiality of the text, the
novel's relation to nineteenth-century narratives of martyrdom, and
the gendering of space. Such theoretical eclecticism, when focused
on a common reference point, necessarily opens out into a dialogue
among critical and interpretive models. Theory throws light onto
Romola, just as Romola throws light onto theory.
