Edinburgh University Press Catharine Sedgwick Redwood a Tale
Book SynopsisThis new edition includes a historically and theoretically informed critical introduction that situates the novel within American social and literary history, also featuring a bibliography for further research and appendices detailing the significant differences between the two nineteenth-century editions.Trade Review"Today's readers can now take pleasure in Redwood, the novel in which Sedgwick dismantles gender conventions that call for female deference and dependence and installs in their stead heroines who are independent actors. We are indebted to Jenifer Elmore's splendid introduction that not only situates Redwood in its larger historical context, but also highlights the novel's significance in transatlantic literary culture." -Mary Kelley, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Random House USA Inc The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Book SynopsisThe final, unfinished novel of Charles Dickens that is in many ways his most intriguing—a gripping, haunting masterpiece that foreshadows the detective stories of Conan Doyle and the nightmarish novels of Kafka.The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a highly atmospheric tale of murder. Central to the plot is John Jasper: in public he is a man of integrity and benevolence; in private he is an opium addict. And while seeming to smile on the engagement of his nephew, Edwin Drood, he is, in fact, consumed by jealousy, driven to terrify the boy’s fiancée and to plot the murder of Edwin himself. As in many of Dickens’s greatest novels, the gulf between appearance and reality drives the action. Set in the seemingly innocuous cathedral town of Cloisterham, the story rapidly darkens with a sense of impending evil. Though The Mystery of Edwin Drood is one of its author’s darkest books, it also bustles with a vast roster of memorable–and delightfully named–minor characters: Mrs. Billikins, the landlady; the foolish Mr. Sapsea; the domineering philanthropist, Mr. Honeythunder; and the mysterious Datchery. Several attempts have been made over the years to complete the novel and solve the mystery, but even in its unfinished state it is a masterpiece.
