St. Giles's Of The Leper is a historical novel written by Edward Codrington William Grey and first published in 1905. The story is set in the 14th century and follows the life of a young man named Stephen who is diagnosed with leprosy and forced to leave his family and home to live in a leper colony in St. Giles's. The novel explores the challenges and struggles faced by Stephen and other lepers as they try to survive in a society that shuns and fears them.As Stephen adjusts to his new life, he meets a group of people who become his friends and allies, including a kind-hearted priest and a brave young woman named Agnes. Together, they fight against the injustices and prejudices of the world outside the colony, while also dealing with their own personal demons and struggles.Throughout the novel, Grey paints a vivid and detailed picture of life in a leper colony, including the physical and emotional toll of the disease, the daily routines and rituals of the inhabitants, and the complex social dynamics that exist within the community. He also explores themes of love, friendship, faith, and redemption, as Stephen and his companions strive to find meaning and purpose in their lives despite their afflictions.Overall, St. Giles's Of The Leper is a moving and thought-provoking novel that offers a powerful glimpse into a little-known aspect of medieval society. It is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit, and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope and compassion can still flourish.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
