Description

Originally published in 1947, The Trial of S ren Qvist has been praised by a number of critics for its intriguing plot and Janet Lewis's powerful writing. And in the introduction to this new edition, Swallow Press executive editor and author Kevin Haworth calls attention to the contemporary feeling of the story-despite its having been written more than fifty years ago and set several hundred years in the past. As in Lewis's best-known novel, The Wife of Martin Guerre, the plot derives from Samuel March Phillips's nineteenth-century study, Famous Cases of Circumstantial Evidence, in which this British legal historian considered the trial of Pastor S ren Qvist to be the most striking case.
