196-646: A confirmation of the accusation. Only two years later, the movie aired again with all homosexual sex and kisses cut off. RAI was forced again to apologise, accusing a problem" with the pre-cut edition by the distribution company and a lack of fact-checking by the RAI employee.

Since 2016, it

392-585: A different level of responsibility for the "fall." The Catholic Church by ancient tradition recognizes Eve as a saint, alongside Adam, and the traditional liturgical feast of Saints Adam and Eve has been celebrated on 24 December since the Middle Ages in many European nations, including Estonia , Germany , Hungary , Lithuania , and the Scandinavian nations. "Eve" in Hebrew is "Ḥawwāh" and

588-551: A parliamentary investigation was opened. Fedez replied he was proud and ready to face the court, and he said he was available as a testimony for the RAI's Superior Commission. Fedez's accusation was one of the biggest media scandals of RAI, as not only all political parties took sides in the cause (centre and left in favour of the rapper, including ex-prime ministers Giuseppe Conte and Enrico Letta , while right and far-right parties in favour of RAI, including Matteo Salvini and Giorgia Meloni 's colleagues). The scandal increased when

686-457: A postscript to the second edition. Ralph Waldo Emerson called the novel "mush" but James Russell Lowell was pleased with it and praised it as a Christian parable. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow privately wrote that it was a "wonderful book" but that it had "the old, dull pain in it that runs through all of Hawthorne's writings". Reviews were generally favorable, though many were confused by the ending. William Dean Howells later wrote: "Everybody

784-415: A pre-cut edition originally planned for the prime-time slot, and wasn't corrected when airing was shifted to the late-night slot. Critics noticed that similar scenes of heterosexual lovers were never cut out before in prime-time and reinforcing the accusation of homophobic censorship. The company rescheduled a new uncut version of the movie, but this was aired again in an even later time slot, a choice seen as

882-440: A print edition from 1999 to 2008, closing due to poor sales.

The Rai Ufficio Stampa website has published programming schedules and television blurbs online since 2011 under

980-560: A radical split between the two religions. Some of the oldest Jewish portions of apocrypha are called Primary Adam Literature where some works became Christianized. Examples of Christianized works is The Book of Adam and Eve , known as the Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan , translated from the Ethiopian Ge'ez by Solomon Caesar Malan (1882) and an original Syriac work entitled Cave of Treasures which has close affinities to

1078-481: A twin sister, and Abel had two twin sisters, or Cain had a twin sister named Lebuda, and Abel a twin sister named Qelimath. The traditional Jewish belief is that Eve is buried in the Cave of Machpelah . Midrash Rabbah Genesis VIII:1 interprets "male and female He created them" to mean that God originally created Adam as a hermaphrodite . This original "Adam" was simultaneously male and female in both spirit and body; It

Adam is charged with guarding and keeping the garden before her creation; she

1274-611: Is accused by the Rabbis of having an overdeveloped sexual drive (Genesis Rabbah 20:7) and constantly enticing Adam (ibid. 23:5). However, in terms of textual popularity and dissemination, the motif of Eve copulating with the primeval serpent takes priority over her other sexual transgressions. Despite rather unsettling picturesqueness of this account, it is conveyed in numerous places: Genesis Rabbah 18:6, Sotah 9b, Shabat 145b–146a and 196a, Yevamot 103b and ‘Avodah zarah 22b. Some Early Church Fathers interpreted 2Cor.11:3 and 1Tim.2:13–14 that

1372-583: Is also rooted in Paul: "sin entered the world through one man ." (Rom 5:12). Gregory of Tours reported that in the Third Council of Mâcon (585 CE), attended by 43 bishops, one bishop maintained that woman could not be included under the term "man" as she was responsible for Adam's sin, and had a deficient soul. However, his case was declined and did not press the issue further. Eve, in Christian art,

1470-479: Is cursed to crawl on its belly, so losing its limbs. Divine pronouncement of three judgments are then laid against all culprits (3:14–19). A judgement oracle and the nature of the crime is first laid upon the serpent, then the woman, and finally Adam. After the serpent is cursed by Yahweh, the woman receives a penalty that impacts two primary roles: childbearing and her subservient relationship to her husband. Adam's penalty then follows, that man has to toil and till

1568-510: Is destined to engage in constant quarrels with him. The first woman also becomes the object of accusations ascribed to Rabbi Joshua of Siknin, according to whom Eve, despite the divine efforts, turned out to be “swelled-headed, coquette, eavesdropper, gossip, prone to jealousy, light-fingered and gadabout” (ibid. 18:2). A similar set of charges appears in Genesis Rabbah 17:8, according to which Eve's creation from Adam's rib rather than from

1666-470: Is found in the Genesis 3 expulsion from Eden narrative which is characterized as a parable or "wisdom tale" in the wisdom tradition . This narrative portion is attributed to Yahwist (J) by the documentary hypothesis due to the use of YHWH . In the expulsion from Eden narrative a dialogue is exchanged between a legged serpent and the woman (3:1–5). The serpent is identified in 2:19 as an animal that

1764-405: Is how it works". RAI immediately denied all accusations and Fedez leaked a recorded audio of the conversation between him and the executives, where managers and hosts (declaring their names and roles to him) tried to censor his speech, by "asking you to adapt to a system that you probably don't get".

It has been suggested that the name Ḫepat may derive from Kubau , a woman who was the first ruler of

1960-648: Is most usually portrayed as the temptress of Adam, and often during the Renaissance the serpent in the Garden is portrayed as having a woman's face identical to that of Eve. She was also compared with the Greco-Roman myth of Pandora who was responsible for bringing evil into the world. Some Christians claim monogamy is implied in the story of Adam and Eve as one woman is created for one man. Eve's being taken from his side implies not only her secondary role in

2058-416: Is not present when God commands Adam not to eat the forbidden fruit – although it is clear that she was aware of the command. She decides to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil after she hears the serpent 's argument that it would not kill her but bring her benefits. She shares the fruit with Adam, and before they could eat of the tree of life , they are expelled from

2254-453: Is similar to that found in Eve, whose name is linked to life and who was born of a rib. In Genesis 2:18–22, the woman is created to be ezer ke-negdo . Ke-negdo means "alongside, opposite, a counterpart to him", and ezer means active intervention on behalf of the other person. The woman is called ishah , woman, with an explanation that this is because she was taken from ish , meaning "man";

2450-539: Is the sole licencee ( concessionaria in esclusiva ) of the radio, television, and multimedia broadcasting public service. For this reason, the agreement with the Government prescribes a series of rules and guarantees that RAI must follow to ensure fair public service to the citizens.

2548-408: Is therefore not until later that God decides that "it is not good for this adam to be alone", and creates the separate beings, Adam and Eve. This promotes the idea of two people joining to achieve a union of the two separate spirits. The early rabbinic literature contains also the traditions which portray Eve in a less positive manner. According to Genesis Rabbah 18:4 Adam quickly realizes that Eve

2646-771: The DOP . The 80s saw the premiere of the monthlies Moda (1983) and King (1987), along with registering a new company name in 1987: Nuova Eri Edizioni Rai-Radiotelevisione Italiana S.p.A., or "Nuova Eri".

2842-495: The Apostle Paul promoted the silence and submission of women due to Eve's deception by the serpent, her tempting Adam to eat the forbidden fruit, and transgressing by eating of the fruit herself. Tertullian told his female listeners, in the early 2nd century, that they "are the devil's gateway", and went on to explain that all women are responsible for the death of Christ: "On account of your desert – that is, death – even

2940-584: The BBC . The emphasis was on educational content. Programs such as Non è mai troppo tardi and Un viaggio al Po introduced people to what life was like in other parts of the country, at a time when most people could not afford to travel. Over the following years, RAI made various changes to its services. It reorganised its radio stations in November 1946 into two national networks, Rete Rossa and Rete Azzurra ('Red Network' and 'Blue Network'). It added

3038-602: The Baháʼí Faith , the account of Eve is described in Some Answered Questions . `Abdu'l-Bahá describes Eve as a symbol of the soul and as containing divine mysteries. The Baháʼí Faith claims the account of Eve in previous Abrahamic traditions is metaphorical. While a traditional view was that the Book of Genesis was authored by Moses and has been considered historical and metaphorical, modern scholars consider

3136-518: The Conflict as noted by August Dillmann . In the first creation narrative ( Elohim ) account, it says "male and female [Elohim] created them" ( Genesis 1:27), which has been interpreted to imply simultaneous creation of the man and the woman. Whereas the second creation account states that YHWH created Eve from Adam's rib, because he was lonely (Genesis 2:18 ff.). Thus to resolve this apparent discrepancy, some medieval rabbis suggested that Eve from

3234-492: The Garden of Eden , with Eve herself suffering imprecations, with her being subjected to additional agony during childbirth, as well as her subjecting to her husband Adam. Christian churches differ on how they view both Adam and Eve's disobedience to God (often called the fall of man ), and to the consequences that those actions had on the rest of humanity. Christian and Jewish teachings sometimes hold Adam (the first man) and Eve to

3332-659: The Third Dynasty of Kish . It has been suggested that the Hebrew name Eve ( חַוָּה ) also bears resemblance to an Aramaic word for "snake" ( Old Aramaic language חוה ; Aramaic חִוְיָא ). The origin for this etymological hypothesis is the rabbinic pun present in Genesis Rabbah 20:11, utilizing the similarity between Heb. Ḥawwāh and Aram. ḥiwyāʾ . Notwithstanding its rabbinic ideological usage, scholars like Julius Wellhausen and Theodor Nöldeke argued for its etymological relevance. Gerda Lerner postulates that

She is remembered in De Mulieribus Claris , a collection of biographies of historical and mythological women by the Florentine author Giovanni Boccaccio , composed in 1361–62. It is notable as the first collection devoted exclusively to biographies of women in Western literature. Writings dealing with these subjects are extant literature in Greek, Latin, Slavonic, Syriac, Armenian and Arabic, going back to ancient Jewish thought. Their influential concepts were then adopted into Christian theology, but not into modern Judaism. This marked

3626-571: The Carboni logo was introduced in 1977, which was not officially adopted but appeared in some graphics, including that of the time signal. RAI's broadcasts content and nominees are frequently accused of political bias, depending both on the management for each channel or programme, and on the lack of meritocracy in contracts with television hosts and also technicians, also concerting cachets and salaries. However, many people underline that RAI needs to balance political equity and public services with

3822-466: The Genesis creation narrative as one of various ancient origin myths . Analysis like the documentary hypothesis also suggests that the text is a result of the compilation of multiple previous traditions, explaining apparent contradictions. Other stories of the same canonical book, like the Genesis flood narrative , are also understood as having been influenced by older literature, with parallels in

3920-521: The Son of God had to die." Saint Augustine , in his excursuses on the fall narrative in Genesis , which led to the Catholic doctrine of original sin , blamed Adam for sin rather than Eve. His reasoning was that, because sin lies in the soul and not the body and because he understood reproductive intercourse to comprise a material (bodily) contribution from the female and a spiritual (soul) contribution from

"Narrated Abu Hurrairah: The Prophet said, 'Were it not for Bani Israel, meat would not decay; and were it not for Eve, no woman would ever betray her husband.'" (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 611, Volume 55). An identical but more explicit version is found in the second most respected book of prophetic narrations, Sahih Muslim. "Abu Hurrairah reported Allah's Messenger as saying: Had it not been for Eve, woman would have never acted unfaithfully towards her husband." (Hadith 3471, Volume 8). In

If she liked the author less, I should feel much encouraged by her liking the Romance so much. I likewise (to confess the truth) admire it exceedingly, at intervals, but am liable to cold fits, during which I think it the most infernal nonsense." Sophia wrote to her sister Elizabeth Peabody that her husband's reaction

4214-486: The conjugal state (1 Corinthians 11:9), but also emphasizes the intimate union between husband and wife, and the dependence of her to him. In Christian tradition, Eve is a prefigurement of the Virgin Mary who is also sometimes called "the Second Eve". In Gnosticism , Eve is often seen as the embodiment of the supreme feminine principle, called Barbelo . She is equated with the light-maiden of Sophia , creator of

4312-487: The couple's expulsion, and the execution of that deliberation (3:22–24). Eve (and womankind after her) is sentenced to a life of sorrow and travail in childbirth, and to be under the power of her husband. Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel (Qayin and Heḇel), the first a tiller of the ground, the second a keeper of sheep. After the Cain murdered Abel, Eve gave birth to a third son, Seth (Šet), from whom Noah (and thus

Eve is not blamed for enticing Adam to eat the forbidden fruit (nor is there the concept of original sin ). On the contrary, the Quran indicates that "they ate of it" and were both to blame for that transgression (Quran 20:121–122). There are subsequent hadiths (narrated by Abu Hurairah ),

4508-775: The culture-based Terzo Programma in October 1950. On 1 January 1952, the Rete Rossa became the Programma Nazionale (focusing on informational content) and the Rete Azzurra became the Secondo Programma (with a greater emphasis on entertainment). The three radio channels eventually became today's Rai Radio 1 , Rai Radio 2 , and Rai Radio 3 . In 1954, the state-owned holding company Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale (IRI) became

According to the Midrash of Genesis Rabba and other later sources, either Cain had

Finally, the gravest evils attributed to Eve appear in Genesis Rabbah 17:8: Why does a man go out bareheaded while a woman goes out with her head covered? She is like one who has done wrong and is ashamed of people; therefore she goes out with her head covered. Why do they [the women] walk in front of the corpse [at a funeral]? Because they brought death into

Instead, he returned to England, where he would remain until July 1860, and entirely rewrote

4998-546: The far-right politicians. In July, the new board of RAI was elected, including the CEO and executives; this led to RAI's CEO Fuortes revealing not only the withdrawal of the action in court for failing all the required accusatory elements but also that no legal action was ever meant by the new management. Far-right exponents opened a parliamentary question over the withdrawal. After the CEO's declaration, no other details were said about any apology or agreement with Fedez: nonetheless,

Such a reading shares elements in common with Aristophanes ' story of the origin of love and the separation of the sexes in Plato 's Symposium .

5684-408: The male, then original sin could not be based upon the transgressions of Eve. Rather, her sin was both forgivable, because she was deceived by the serpent, and lacked consequences for human history, because she could not transmit sin to her descendants. Adam, on the other hand, had full knowledge of his sin and out of lust chose a life of sin with the woman over a life with God. This Augustinian teaching

5782-456: The market rules and competitors. All these issues are ongoing. RAI's main channels are considered slightly politically oriented: Rai 1 is liberal or centre-right, Rai 2 is usually more right-oriented, while Rai 3 typically has the majority of left oriented programmes and hosts Fabio Fazio and Bianca Berlinguer , or the journalistic deep investigation programme Report , famous for its investigations over far-right scandals. This issue in Italy

After writing The Blithedale Romance in 1852, Hawthorne, who was then approaching fifty, was granted a political appointment as American Consul in Liverpool , England, which he held from 1853 to 1857. In 1858, Hawthorne and his wife Sophia Peabody moved

In the very much criticised email answer (which screenshot was published by Fedez on Instagram) the Office of the Commission stated that even if not prohibited by law, it was not custom to invite external people to the Commission investigation.

Rib is a pun in Sumerian, as the word " ti " means both "rib" and "life". God created Eve from ’aḥat miṣṣal‘otaiv ( אַחַת מִצַּלְעֹתָיו ‎), traditionally translated as "one of his ribs". The term can mean curve, limp, adversity and side. The traditional reading has been questioned recently by feminist theologians who suggest it should instead be rendered as "side", supporting

6958-492: The second account, and the woman of the Elohim account, were two separate individuals: Eve and Lilith . The creation of Eve, according to Rabbi Joshua , is that: "God deliberated from what member He would create woman, and He reasoned with Himself thus: I must not create her from Adam's head, for she would be a proud person, and hold her head high. If I create her from the eye, then she will wish to pry into all things; if from

7056-447: The second edition of the book-and-documentary RicordeRai released in 2004 in collaboration with Rai Teche . RAI (originally URI) had printed its broadcast schedules nearly without interruption starting in 1925 as Radio Orario , then from 1930 as Radiocorriere , then continuously from 1954 as Radiocorriere TV , until RAI divested in 1995. The magazine was restarted under publisher Rcc edizioni  [ it ] with

7154-511: The show did not want to accept that and quickly decided to read out his words in front of the camera. A passage from Scurati states, "As long as those who govern us do not utter the word anti-fascism , the specter of fascism will continue to haunt the house of Italian democracy ." It is a clear criticism of Prime Minister Meloni, because the leader of the Fratelli d'Italia party has not distanced herself from her party's fascist beginnings. He

7252-540: The sole shareholder and URI—now renamed RAI – Radiotelevisione italiana to reflect its extended responsibilities—finally began a regular television service. On 3 January at 11:00 CET, the first RAI television announcer presented the day's schedule, which was broadcast from the service's Milan headquarters and relay stations in Turin and Rome . At 14:30, the first regular programme in Italian television history

7350-490: The story of Eve's creation from Adam's rib may have originated in the Mesopotamian myth of Enki and Ninhursag . In this myth, Enki eats poisonous plants that give him diseases. His consort/sister, Ninhursag, then creates several deities to cure each of these ailments. One of them, Ninti , is destined to heal Enki's rib. Ninti's name means both "the lady of the rib" and "the lady of life". This association of rib and life

7448-532: The story, which has been slightly criticised, I can only say that to me it is quite satisfactory. I like those shadowy, weird, fantastic, Hawthornesque shapes flitting through the golden gloom which is the atmosphere of the book. I like the misty way in which the story is indicated rather than revealed. The outlines are quite definite enough, from the beginning to the end, to those who have imagination enough to follow you in your airy flights; and to those who complain, I suppose nothing less than an illustrated edition with

7546-611: The strict relationship with the Republic is also ruled by different national laws. The most recent one is the 2015 Riforma della Rai , "Rai Reform", i.e. the 2015 law no. 220, including the Testo unico della Radiotelevisione ('Consolidated Law on Radio and Television'). RAI and broadcasting are supervised by the commission, which also rules economic budgets and main regulations, including public service's electoral segments during electoral campaigns. Unione Radiofonica Italiana (URI)

7644-484: The title for the British edition was Transformation: Or the Romance of Monte Beni . The alternate title was chosen by the publishers and was used against Hawthorne's wishes. Both titles continue to be used today in the U.K. Encouraged to write a book long enough to fill three volumes, Hawthorne included extended descriptions that critics found distracting or boring. Complaints about the ambiguous ending led Hawthorne to add

7742-420: The two words are not in fact connected. Later, after the story of the Garden is complete, she will be given a name, Ḥawwāh (Eve). This means "living" in Hebrew, from a root that can also mean "snake". A long-standing exegetical tradition holds that the use of a rib from man's side emphasizes that both man and woman have equal dignity, for woman was created from the same material as man, shaped and given life by

7840-415: The white dove. Her simple, unbendable moral principles can make her severe in spite of her tender heart. Miriam and Hilda are often contrasted. Kenyon is a sculptor who represents rationalist humanism . He cherishes a romantic affection towards Hilda. Donatello, the Count of Monte Beni, is often compared to Adam and is in love with Miriam. Donatello amazingly resembles the marble Faun of Praxiteles , and

7938-469: The whole of modern humanity) is descended. According to Genesis, Seth was born when Adam was 130 years old: "a son in his likeness and like his image". Genesis 5:4 affirms that Eve had sons and daughters beyond just Cain, Abel, and Seth. Certain concepts such as the serpent being identified as Satan , Eve's sin being sexual temptation, or Adam's first wife being Lilith , come from literary works found in various Jewish apocrypha , but not found anywhere in

8036-720: The word ( Logos ) of God, the thygater tou photos or simply the Virgin Maiden, Parthenos . In other texts she is equated with Zoe (Life). In other Gnostic texts, such as the Hypostasis of the Archons , the Pistis Sophia is equated with Eve's daughter, Norea , the wife of Seth. Adam's spouse is mentioned in the Quran in 2:30–39 , 7:11–25 , 15:26–42 , 17:61–65 , 18:50-51 , 20:110–124 , and 38:71–85 , but

8134-454: The world, they therefore walk in front of the corpse, [as it is written], “For he is borne to the grave ... and all men draw after him, as there were innumerable before him” (Job 21:32f). And why was the precept of menstruation ( nidah ) given to her? Because she shed the blood of Adam [by causing death], therefore was the precept of menstruation given to her. And why was the precept of “dough” ( ḥalah ) given to her? Because she corrupted Adam, who

8232-537: Was absorbed into RAI as of 1 December 2004, per Article 21 of Law 112/04. RAI is governed by a nine-member Administrative Council. Seven of the members are elected by a committee of the Italian Parliament . The other two (one of which is the president) are nominated by the largest shareholder: the Ministry of Economic Development. The Council appoints the Director-General. The Director-General and

8330-458: Was accused of pressuring out the head of RAI for not supporting her political agenda. In 2024, Meloni called for her government's ministers to be given more speaking time in the European election campaign . In doing so, she called on the RAI to violate the law "par conditiono", according to which all parties must receive the same amount of broadcasting time. The resistance to this was massive, and

8428-419: Was broadcast: Arrivi e partenze , hosted by Armando Pizzo and Mike Bongiorno . The evening's entertainment was a theatre performance, L'osteria della posta , written by Carlo Goldoni . 23:15 saw the start of the day's concluding programme, La Domenica Sportiva —the first edition of a weekly series which continues to this day.

8526-487: Was formed in 1924 with the backing of the Marconi Company following a model adopted in other European countries.

8624-456: Was investigated and fined (with many executives arrested or fired) for unjustified expenses and suspicious gifts. It was noticed that, frequently, dinners, expensive watches and jewellery were all paid by RAI for unknown people outside the company. In 2022, a new scandal was investigated by the Guardia di Finanza surrounding corruption and bribes. At least 5 people in total were arrested, while

8722-414: Was left out in order to "avoid controversy", according to the broadcaster. In 2016, during the first clear broadcast of the show How to Get Away with Murder , on Rai 2, the gay kisses for one of the main characters (portrayed by Jack Falahee ) were completely cut off. RAI apologised again, stating that the incident was "merely the mistake of an overzealous editor". Criticism on the social media platforms

8820-399: Was made by Yahweh among the beasts of the field. The woman is willing to talk to the serpent and respond to the creature's cynicism by repeating Yahweh's prohibition from 2:17. The serpent directly disputes Yahweh's command. Adam and the woman sin (3:6–8). Yahweh questions Adam, who blames the woman (3:9–13). Yahweh then challenges the woman to explain herself, who blames the serpent, who

8918-516: Was one of the few European broadcasters to condemn and criticise the closure of Greece's state broadcaster ERT . RAI is 99% owned by the Italian Government Ministry of Economy and Finance, so it is said that it broadcasts content that may politically influence people. The Alberto Ribera logo was introduced in 1967, however, this did not have significant application except on studios and portable cameras. A second variation of

9016-495: Was reading it, and more or less bewailing its indefinite close, but yielding him that full honor and praise which a writer can hope for but once in his life." Friend and critic Edwin Percy Whipple noted that, even if Hawthorne had written nothing else, The Marble Faun would qualify him as a master of English composition. John Lothrop Motley wrote a long private letter to Hawthorne full of effusive praise: With regard to

9114-486: Was so strong that Falahee and showrunner Shonda Rhimes both tweeted against the network's "inexcusable" censorship. In 2021, another accusation was made against RAI by Italian rapper Fedez . During the 1 May Concertone , a traditional Italian TV broadcast concert in celebration of the International Workers' Day , the rapper was invited to perform and have a speech on the stage. The rapper honoured

9212-450: Was split between RAI and Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale (IRI). That same year Radiocorriere became Radiocorriere TV , which would continue to be published until RAI divested in 1995.

During the reconstruction following World War II , much of RAI's early programming was influenced by the " Reithian " style of

9408-523: Was the dough of the world, therefore was the precept of dough given to her. And why was the precept of the Sabbath lights ( nerot shabat ) given to her? Because she extinguished the soul of Adam, therefore was the precept of the Sabbath lights given to her. In addition to this, the early rabbinic literature contains numerous instances in which Eve is accused of various sexual transgressions. Told in Genesis 3:16 that “your desire shall be for your husband,” she

9506-620: Was turned down for ideological and political reasons, Scurati told the German public broadcaster ARD . "I criticized the fact that, during the 19 months of Meloni's government, the Prime Minister insisted on the reading of history that corresponds to her neo-fascist background , i.e. she shifted the blame for the slaughter and massacres onto the German Nazis, even though the fascists of Salò were accomplices and collaborators." RAI

9604-505: Was typical: "As usual, he thinks the book good for nothing... He has regularly despised each one of his books immediately upon finishing it." Hawthorne struggled with a title for his new book. He considered several, including Monte Beni; or, The Faun: A Romance , The Romance of a Faun , Marble and Life; a Romance , Marble and Man; a Romance , and St. Hilda's Shrine . The book was published simultaneously in America and England in late 1860;
