Savrola.

A Tale of the Revolution in Laurania.

London, Longmans, Green & Co., 1900 Stock Code: 32227

£1,250.00

Notes

First UK edition, first impression, one of 1,500 copies printed. The UK edition was delayed by magazine serialisation of the story, so that the US edition in book form was actually published first. Scarce in the original cloth binding, this novel represents the author's only attempt at full-length fiction. It is "a melodramatic tale of a liberal revolution in an autocratic Mediterranean state: the hero, Savrola, was a compound of himself and Lord Randolph" (ODNB).
