This 1908 novel was only partially completed at the time of the author’s death; the final chapters were published unrevised. Set contemporaneously in a fictionalized Italy called Helianthus, it tells of the efforts of a young prince of that country to introduce democracy—and the backlash from his family.
About the author
Ouida (1839-1908), born Maria Louise Ramé, was a prolific English writer of novels for adults and children. A self-proclaimed “serious artist, ” her works combine social commentary with swashbuckling adventure plots that often veer into melodrama. After a life as extravagant as her fiction, she died in poverty in Italy.
