1906. The Gadfly is a highly romantic yet realistic treatment of
risorgimento period in Italy concerning the activities of the
international republican agent Arthur Burton who successfully
eludes the Austro-Hungarian policy and contributes to the
revolutionary cause culminating in the Italian uprising of 1848.
Voynich, who was the daughter of George Boole, of Boolean
mathematics fame, and Mary Everest Boole, a feminist writer, based
this story of conspiracy in the Italian Risorgimento on the early
life experiences of her boyfriend, Sidney Rosenblum (also known in
Britain as Reilly Ace of Spies). The Gadfly remains as Voynich's
greatest literary achievement.
