Fabiola and Marius are two outstanding characters in the late Victorian novels: both with early Christian background of which interest had been raised by the Tractarianism called Oxford Movement. Walter Pater created a meditative figure from a viewpoint of a classic scholar in Oxford. St. Cecilia's image in the Fourth Part of Marius the Epicurean is rather symbolic, while Nicholas Wiseman describes the dramatic scenes of martyrs in Fabiola. The latter develops his plans in the narratives of the church in the Catacomb further than the former does. Pursuing the plots precisely wrought out by the author, I'd like to reevaluate Wiseman's literary genius as a story-teller with his profound knowledge of the early Christianity.
