It mirrors a physical passage from flamboyant Regency England through a Europe conquered by Napoleon. Ann, a successful writer of cheap Gothic novels, becomes obsessed with Robert James, regarded by many, including himself, as a genius, with his ideas, his talk, and his band of male followers. However, their relationship becomes tortuous, as Robert descends into violence and madness. The pair leaves London for occupied Venice, where Ann tries to cope with the monstrous ego of her lover. Forced to flee with a stranger, she delves into her past, to be jolted by a series of revelations--about her lover, her parentage, the stranger, and herself. 650 0 $a Authors $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100550 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008111365 650 0 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009126735 651 0 $a Venice (Italy) $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008113178 650 0 $a Psychological fiction, English. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh90005449 650 7 $a Authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821688 650 7 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00966889 650 7 $a Psychological fiction, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01081356 650 7 $a Secrecy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110644 651 7 $a Italy $z Venice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204473 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1618/2016387598-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1618/2016387598-d.html 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211032531.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=87A268ECEAD411E7BA71765497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
