Description

Written in 1861 but taking place in the fifteenth century, this picturesque historical novel by Charles Reade follows the story of a young scribe and illuminator named Gerard Eliason.

In order to escape persecution, Gerard sets out on a journey from Holland to Rome, leaving behind the woman he loves, Margaret. Along the road Gerard meets a colorful cast of characters-including various historical figures-and explores the conflict between a person's obligation to family versus the church. Considered a literary classic, Reade's novel has been hailed as one of the best historical novels of the English language.
