Roman Candles is a novel written by Percy Hetherington Fitzgerald and published in 1861. The story is set in the mid-19th century and follows the lives of a group of young people who are trying to find their place in society. The main character, Arthur, is a young man who is struggling to make a name for himself and is torn between his desire for success and his love for a woman who is above his social standing. The novel explores themes of love, ambition, and class struggle, as well as the challenges faced by young people trying to find their way in a changing world. The title, Roman Candles, refers to the fireworks that were popular during the time period and serves as a metaphor for the characters’ lives, which are full of bright flashes of hope and excitement but also contain the potential for danger and destruction. Overall, Roman Candles is a compelling and insightful look at the complexities of life in Victorian England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
