Vergilius and the Coming of Christ a Roman Tale
A mixed critique of Hacheller’s Eben Holden inspired novel Vergilius A Tale of the Coming of Christ, pairing a Romans love story with Herodian intrigue in Rome and Jerusalem. The review questions the plot’s significance and the Christ event’s central role while noting historical vastness and uneven execution. It also previews other current works including Elson’s United States history and Cynthia Rebellion, with reflections on style and merit.
