This 1896 romance was termed 'an exquisite London idyll’ by Willa Cather. Originally the novel was published under the pseudonym of George Forth, perhaps because it eschewed the realism of Frederic’s simultaneously published The Damnation of Theron Ware. Set in London, the characters of March Hares are in no way tied to reality; besides their need for food, their demeanor and actions come across as insane and disembodied.
O autorze
Harold Frederic (1856-1898) was an American writer. As a journalist, he reached the peak of his profession in 1884 as the London correspondent of the New York Times. But he is best known for his novels, which display his talent for realism. The Damnation of Theron Ware (1896) and Gloria Mundi (1898) are considered to be his finest works.
