Miriam Baske, a young Puritan widow from Lancashire, goes to Italy with her brother and finds the old certainties loosening among painters, tourists, and talk of freedom. Gissing on marriage, personal liberty, and late-Victorian moral codes — duty against desire, gender and class under sharp observation. What it means to be emancipated when society still names the scandal. Psychological depth; Italy as the testing ground, not a false London barrister plot.
