A hook: A vanished family, a nation watching, and the secrets that ruin or redeem them. A historical novel where drawing rooms tremble with whispers, and inheritance becomes a battlefield across the American nineteenth century. Delaware; Or, The Ruined Family Vol. 1 by George Payne Rainsford James returns in a fresh, accessible edition that honours the spine-tingling gravitas of Victorian fiction while inviting today's readers to savour a story of prestige, pride, and peril. This restored edition plays with gothic romance vibes and sharp social observation, weaving family ruin themes through a vividly drawn American setting nineteenth century. It is a tale of duty and desire, of fortunes made and families broken, told in lucid, enduring prose that resonates with modern sensibilities while keeping the cadence of classic English literature. A note on literary or historical significance: James's novel sits at crossroads of long-form Victorian drama and early American cultural reflection, exemplifying both high melodrama and meticulous social critique cherished by scholarly Victorian studies and classic english literature fans alike. It belongs in the complete Victorian collection, and in the hands of readers who crave a tangible link to the era's mood, sensibilities, and narrative daring. Selling points: - Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. - Restored for today's and future generations. - More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Ideal for casual readers and discerning collectors seeking a richly atmospheric nineteenth century treasure.
