Description

"Veranilda" by George Gissing is a novel left incomplete at his death in 1903 and published posthumously in 1904. Set in ancient Rome, this unfinished romance explores a world of historical intrigue and aesthetic portrayal of Roman life. The novel's publication sparked literary controversy when H.G. Wells's introduction was rejected by Gissing's executors, who commissioned Frederic Harrison to write a replacement instead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
