Excerpt from A Study of George Eliot's Romola The following paper, a few slight alterations having since been made, was read before a seminary engaged in the study of nineteenth century English novelists, conducted at Cornell University by Professor Hiram Corson, LL.D. Each member of the seminary was requested to present in some such form one of the novels suggested by Professor Corson, and each one was required to read all of the novels chosen by the other members of the seminary in order that a helpful discussion of the subject might follow the reading of each paper. It therefore follows that the writer of the present paper pre-supposes such a knowledge of the subject as might be obtained by a recent and careful reading of the novel.

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.
