Review Quotes

"The paradoxical, individualistic, self-reliant, sometimes despicable, controversial 19th-century American writer comes alive in this fascinating biography. . . . The most complete work on Atherton . . . recommended for its thorough presentation of the writer as part of the literary, social, political, and cultural world of the 19th century."--Library Journal
