For the first time the complete writings of Fitz Hugh Ludlow (1836-1870) will be available in one set, including his major fiction and non-fiction work, each volume edited, introduced and contextualized. Ludlow is a forgotten master of prose writing from, and about, a mid 19th century America full of volatility, destiny, and a new sense of its own erudition. The editors hope this collection helps return Ludlow to his rightful place of importance in the history of American letters. These will be sublimely beautiful hard cover editions with the original accompanying illustrations.
“If Fitz Hugh Ludlow comes your way, treat him well” -Mark Twain
All of these volumes are beautiful high quality hardcover editions, reformatted and re-edited from the original editions. The collected short stories, opium writings and travel writings are gathered together for the first time from magazine and newspaper scans, using original illustrations, as well as many new ones from the period.
