A Mystery of the Campagna, and A Shadow on a Wave. Von Degen (pseudonym of Ann Crawford Baroness von Rabe). New York: Cassell Publishing Company, [1891]. First U.S. edition. Third volume of “The Unknown Library.” “A novelette and a short novel, respectively. In the former, operatic composer falls victim to classical lamia, very reminiscent in plot and treatment to Gautier’s vampiresses. ‘A Shadow on a Wave’ non-supernatural, love and death in Venice, an artist’s obsession with beautiful unattainable subject.” -- source link
