Vendor: NOVELISTS
Rome, the city of visible history, where the past of a whole hemisphere seems moving in funeral procession with strange ancestral images and trophies gathered from afar.

-- George Eliot, (Nov 22 1819-1880), English novelist; Mary Ann Evans was the foremost woman novelist of her time, e.g., Silas Marner, 1861.
