Sir H Rider Haggard

Illustrated Stella Fregelius by Henry Rider Haggard Sir H Rider Haggard

Written in1904, this is another of Haggard's eternal love romances: that there are loves that survive beyond the grave, and that a spiritual connection is much more important than the physical and temporal. This romance deals with the overlapping fates, a triangle, of 3 people in a northern coastal region of England: scholarly Morris Monk, inventor; his first cousin, Mary Porson; and the daughter of the new church rector, Stella Fregelius. Like similar Haggard stories, it is drawn out with moral and philosophical narration with the third person narration.
