H.G. Wells’s 1909 novel centres on the coming of age of the spirited Ann Veronica, who runs away from her sheltered suburban home to live in London. There she mingles with feminists, studies biology, learns jiu jitsu, and even participates in a suffragette raid on the House of Commons that lands her in jail. When originally published, the novel was deemed “poisonous” for its bold treatment of an adulterous romance that only lightly veiled Wells’s extramarital affairs. While critics debate whether the shift to romance undermines the novel’s feminist themes, readers continue to be engaged by its vividly realized heroine and its rich portrayal of the tumultuous social movements of Edwardian London. Historical documents expand on the novel’s autobiographical dimension with letters between Wells and Amber Reeves, the model for Ann Veronica; also included are materials on the suffrage movement, attempts to censor the novel, and the New Woman.

Anna Veronica er opfølgeren til romanen Olava men kan læses uafhængigt af denne. Anna Veronica er Olavas barnebarn, og hun husker sin mormor med kærlighed. Som voksen kvinde bliver hun interesseret i sin familiehistorie, og hvad der skete med Olava, dengang hun var en ung kvinde og forlod sit hjem og sin familie efter en tragisk ulykke i fjeldene. Lige som Anna Veronica synes, at hendes liv går rigtig godt, så møder hun sin tvillingeflamme, og fra dette tidspunkt bliver hendes liv aldrig det samme igen. Langsomt, men sikkert, falder hendes liv fra hinanden, og mere end én gang falder hun på knæ i desperat bøn om hjælp til at slippe stress og smerte. Anna Veronica er opkaldt Anna efter Olavas mor og Veronica efter den medicinkvinde, som Olava mødte, da hun var ung. Bogen er dedikeret til vores aner.
In The Legend of Veronica in Early Modern Art, Katherine T. Brown explores the lore of the apocryphal character of Veronica and the history of the “true image” relic as factors in the Franciscans’ placement of her character into the Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) as the Sixth Station, in both Jerusalem and Western Europe, around the turn of the fifteenth century.Katherine T. Brown examines how the Franciscans adopted and adapted the legend of Veronica to meet their own evangelical goals by intervening in the fabric of Jerusalem to incorporate her narrative - which is not found in the Gospels - into an urban path constructed for pilgrims, as well as in similar participatory installations in churchyards and naves across Western Europe. This book proposes plausible reasons for the subsequent proliferation of works of art depicting Veronica, both within and independent of the Stations of the Cross, from the early fifteenth through the mid-seventeenth centuries. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, theology, and medieval and Renaissance studies.
