Description

First scholarly edition of a neglected, hugely popular best-seller

Key Features

  • First scholarly edition of forgotten late Victorian classic of rural life and sensation fiction
  • Comprehensive selection of contemporary reviews and commentaries
  • Carefully contextualized introduction to the novel and its author

Maxwell Gray tells the sensational story of an ambitious clergyman, who accidentally kills the father of a woman he has made pregnant, and then allows his closest friend to be convicted of the murder. The best-seller was subsequently filmed three times (1914, 1915, 1934) and presents fascinating insights into the forgotten world of late Victorian rural life.

Including a carefully contextualised introduction to the novel and its author, this edition also provides a comprehensive selection of contemporary reviews and commentaries.
