Synopsis
Writings by one of America's earliest and best-selling authors of sensational fiction.
Leon Jackson
I can think of no antebellum author more deserving of recovery than George Thompson.... This is a book that scholars,students,and teachers need to be reading. It will be welcomed by both critics and historians alike as an important and unique peek into the darker recesses of the antebellum underworld. The introduction to the volume constitutes the most thorough,accessible,and useful account of Thompson's life and work to date. The editors carefully reconstruct the author's world and do a remarkable job of bringing his books to life.
