Notes: Wladislaw, the central character in the short story, "Wladislaw’s Advent" (pp. [1]-47), is a poor Jewish art student in Paris ("Wladislaw’s beautiful head, with the young light-brown beard, the pure forehead, and the long sorrowful eyes, was an ideal presentment of the Nazarene; without the alteration of either feature or expression, he stood up a gloriously simple realisation of the Christ as all pictures have tried to show Him," p. 8). Another story, "An Idyll in Millinery" (pp. [151]-204), is set in London and includes a young Jewish man named Goldenmuth.
