Sinopse

Rebecca Harding Davis's 'Margret Howth: A Story of To-day' stands as a seminal work in American realist literature, ingeniously chronicling the nuanced experiences of its protagonist in a 19th-century industrial setting. Davis's literary style is marked by its vivid detail and compassionate rendering of individual lives amidst broader social concerns. The book becomes a poignant exploration of gender, class, and the inexorable march of progress, while also underscoring the transformative power of self-discovery and moral awakenings. Positioned within a literary context that bridges romanticism and realism, Davis's work resonates with the emotional depth of the former and the sobering verisimilitude of the latter, culminating in a narrative that casts a critical eye on the societal mores of the time.

Rebecca Harding Davis was a pioneer, not only in the realm of literature but also in her astute observations of the human condition within the burgeoning industrial America. Her own experiences and sensibilities informed this narrative, which rises from an era where women's voices were emerging with increasing clarity and force in literature. The book is a reflection of Davis's deep social awareness, her understanding of the complexities of economic and social change, and her subtle yet firm critique of the status quo. This is evident as she draws from the landscapes and struggles of her time, fashioning a microcosm that was both specific in its milieu and universal in its themes.

'Margret Howth: A Story of To-day' is highly recommended for readers interested in the development of American literature, particularly those examining the intersection of gender, labor, and class in the 19th century. Davis's novel is a touchstone for understanding the preoccupations of a pivotal era in American history, and it remains an illuminating and affecting read. The work's restoration and publication by DigiCat Publishing bestow upon contemporary audiences the opportunity to engage with a text that, while rooted in a specific historical moment, transcends its period to speak to the timeless aspects of the human experience.

    The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
