Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Antonina, or the Fall of Rome, Vol. 1 of 2: A Romance of the Fifth Century Ten years have passed since this historical romance was published in its original form. The first volume, and part of the second, were written in the quiet and seclusion of my father´s painting-room, to which I used to repair with my pen and ink, in the evening, almost as regularly as he used to enter it with his palette and brushes in the morning. His death suspended the progress of the story, when I had completed nearly half of it. I put Antonina aside, and addressed myself to the writing of another story, which lay far nearer to my heart - the story of my father´s life. In the "Memoirs of William Collins, R. A.," I saw my name on the title-page of a printed and published book, for the first time. After the publication of the biography, I once more opened the portfolio in which Antonina had been put away.
