Includes bibliographical references

This is both the story of a love affair between the Scottish peer, Oswald, Lord Nelvil and a beautiful poetess, and a homage to the landscape, literature and art of Italy. The author weaves discreet French Revolutionary political allusion and allegory into her romance, whose publication saw her order of exile renewed by Napoleon.
