Overview: One of the most widely read authors of the Gilded Age, Edward Payson Roe penned novels that sold millions of copies and fundamentally dismantled the long-standing Puritan prejudice against fiction in America. As a Presbyterian minister and Civil War chaplain, he blended a strict moral and religious purpose with romantic realism. Roe had a unique talent for weaving major, real-life historical crises into his gripping tales. His breakout hit, ‘Barriers Burned Away’ fuelled the public’s imagination by incorporating a vivid, eyewitness-style account of the Great Chicago Fire. His novels consistently explored the realities of post-Civil War American life, dealing with themes of class dynamics, urban vices and the conflict between faith and modern skepticism. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Roe’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
