George Lippard

About the Author

George Lippard (1822-1854) was an American novelist, journalist, and progressive activist.  Popular in his day, he is undeservedly forgotten today.  In his brief life and even shorter career, he published prodigiously in a variety of genres from gothic romance to historical fiction, including the books, The Monks of Monk Hall (1844)—or The Quaker City—and Legends of the Revolution (1847).
