This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.
One of the most riveting examples of American literary realism, The Damnation of Theron Ware insightfully captures the unsettling religious, scientific, philosophical, and sexual transitions American society underwent in the late nineteenth century. Theron Ware, a naïve Methodist minister, becomes sexually attracted to Celia Madden, daughter of the town’s richest resident, and is intellectually seduced by her friends, including the town’s Catholic priest and a reclusive scientist. Intoxicated by the strange ideas of his new friends, Theron Ware eagerly trades in his former innocence and faith for a conspicuously “modern” set of ideas and beliefs he only vaguely understands. What first appears to be illumination is ultimately “damnation” for Ware, as he abandons all beliefs for a shallow pursuit of power and financial success.
