| 520 | _a"Ida Nicolari" by Eglanton Thorne is a novel written in the late 19th century. It centers on a classically beautiful young woman raised outside Christianity by her celebrated sculptor father, whose failing eyesight threatens his life’s work. As her mother’s friend reenters their lives—with ties to a principled young clergyman—Ida is drawn into questions of art, duty, belief, and love amid a circle that includes a spoiled pupil and a fashionable devotee of church ritual. The tone suggests a moral and spiritually searching story shaped by suffering, friendship, and the testing of character. The opening of the novel introduces Antonio Nicolari in his Chelsea studio, lovingly shaping a Psyche while his daughter Ida poses, and hints at his worsening vision. A visit from Mrs. Tregoning—dear friend of Ida’s late mother—reveals Antonio’s bitter break with his wife’s Christian family, the poverty and grief that hastened her death, and the contrasting future of Mrs. Tregoning’s son Theodore, now preparing for the Church. Ida meets the refined but patronizing Geraldine Seabrook, is challenged for admitting she is not a Christian, and then learns—from Mrs. Tregoning—that her own mother was a devoted believer, which unsettles her. Returning home, Ida hears the grim verdict on her father’s eyes (an operation may be needed), and, moved by what she has learned, asks to read her mother’s books so she can explore the faith for herself.
