Guilderoy: A Novel is a literary work by the British novelist Ouida, first published in 1903. Set in the late 19th century, the novel follows the life of Guilderoy, a successful and charming artist who becomes entangled in a web of love, passion, and betrayal. The novel explores themes of love, art, society, and morality, as well as the conflicts between passion and duty, and between the pursuit of happiness and the demands of social convention. Through the character of Guilderoy, Ouida offers a critique of the Victorian society and its values, and a celebration of the power of art and beauty to transcend social barriers and enrich the human experience. The novel is written in a lush and ornate style, typical of Ouida's work, and features vivid descriptions of landscapes, interiors, and characters, as well as philosophical reflections on life and love. Guilderoy: A Novel is considered one of Ouida's most accomplished works, and a testament to her literary talent and vision.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
