A picaresque historical novel by Charles Reade, published in 1861 and set in late medieval Holland and Europe. The novel focuses on the story of a young scribe and illuminator named Gerard Eliason and his love for Margaret Brandt, daughter of a poor scholar. Interacting with them is a cast of vividly drawn characters and various historical personages. The overarching theme through all of their adventures is the conflict between man's obligations to family and to Church. Long considered a literary classic, it has been critically acclaimed as one of the greatest historical novels in English. Reade affected a medieval writing style and used much archaic language even for his nineteenth century readers.

Charles Reade Boeken
Charles Reade was een vooraanstaand Engels romanschrijver en dramaturg, gevierd als een van de populairste auteurs van Engeland gedurende de 19e eeuw. Zijn werken duiken in complexe morele vraagstukken en de menselijke natuur met scherp inzicht. Reade's stijl, gekenmerkt door levendige proza en een sterke verhalende drive, dompelt lezers onder in zijn meeslepende verhalen. Hoewel zijn populariteit tegen de eeuwwisseling afnam, blijft zijn meesterschap in het weergeven van historische decors en personages opmerkelijk.
