Description:

Hardcover. This is the second title in the Surinam Turtle imprint by Richard A. Lupoff. This remarkable novel, featuring architect Chester Castle and the beautiful but deeply troubled Joy Fielding, was first published in 1907. In its examination of the dissociative identity or “multiple personality” theme it was far ahead of its time. Readers familiar with the literature will recognize the case of Sally Beauchamp, as recorded by psychiatrist Morton Prince, as the model for Gelett Burgess’s courageous heroine. There is an introduction by Richard A. Lupoff and illustrations by Will Grefé.
