A very powerful piece of work, standinghigher above the level of contemporary fiction than itwould be easy to say."—Spectator. "A remarkable work."—Morning Post. "Takes the reader by assault. One feels the impulsion ofa vivid personality at the back of it all."—Academy. "It amazes, while it wholly charms, by the power ofimagery, the glowing fancy, the earnestness and enthusiasmwith which the writer conjures Italy of the Renaissance fromthe past into the living light."—London World. | |
