Publisher's Note
Novelist Harold Frederic (1856-1898) played a critical role in the development of realistic American fiction. His best work analyzes the narrow-mindedness of the small towns of his native upper New York State. Frederic's most famous novel, The Damnation of Theron Ware (1896), chronicles the life of an idealistic young Methodist minister who, as he falls under the influence of progressive ideas, becomes a skeptic. He comes to regard his old religion as intellectually and spiritually bankrupt, but in the process is nearly destroyed by those who condemn him for "going to the bad".

Industry Reviews
"[I]f you persevere..., (appreciating Harold Frederic's sly commentary on the decline of religious leadership in the nineteenth century), you'll be rewarded...[T]his satiric examination of a naif led astray by sophisticates is a terrific novel."
Atlantic Monthly - Christina Schwarz (09/01/2002)

"I had not read THERON WARE in more than twenty years, and, taking it up again recently, with only a blurred memory of the tragicomic odyssey of its feckless hero, I wasn't quite prepared for the novel's warm, intelligent good humor, its complex and ambiguous story, its shrewd, disturbing insights into the human psyche. and what an inspired ending, with a special significance for the present time--when, as a phrase from the book would have it, 'talk is what tells' in our national politics, as in the more manipulative quarters of populist religion."
New York Times Book Review - Joyce Carol Oates (12/17/1995)
