THE ATHENÆUM.—“Here is a story of Italy, and Italy in full Renaissance, which offends neither by sentimental maundering, nor by affected diction, nor by leering ‘naturalism’—not a hint of ‘the erotic, the neurotic, or the tommy-rotic’—just a healthy, straightforward romance of the old school, with plenty of adventure, and ending as it should, told in good English without any straining after phrases.”
THE SKETCH.—“No one who has ever visited Venice and come under its spell, can afford to miss ‘Marietta.’”
THE DAILY MAIL.—“The reviewer too rarely comes across so charming a tale as Mr. F. Marion Crawford’s ‘Marietta: A Maid of Venice.’”
THE MORNING POST.—“‘Marietta’ is one of the more daintily charming of Mr. Crawford’s stories, and deserves the recognition it will undoubtedly receive.”
“ELIZABETH”
“Triumphantly successful.”
