But when Joconda dies, Musa is left alone to live in the ruins of an ancient Etruscan tomb. Several men will try to marry and tame her, but Musa remains defiantly independent...until she discovers for the first time the passion of real love - with tragic results. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1882 at the height of Ouida's popularity, \u003ci\u003eIn Maremma\u003c\/i\u003e was one of Ouida's most popular novels after \u003ci\u003eUnder Two Flags\u003c\/i\u003e (1867) and \u003ci\u003eMoths\u003c\/i\u003e (1880). A mixture of modern female Gothic and an important meditation on women's role in nineteenth century society, \u003ci\u003eIn Maremma\u003c\/i\u003e remains as vital and moving as when it was first published. This edition includes a new introduction and notes by one of the world's foremost Ouida scholars, Natalie Schroeder, as well as the text of contemporary reviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 472\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.17 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 29, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42734223458367,"sku":"9780977784172","price":51.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/4e1e5473bcf679abc03f6985235d1468.webp?v=1765139109","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/in-maremma-valancourt-classics-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
