[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: VALANCOURT BOOKS], pWhen iFurze the Cruel/i (1907) first appeared, iThe Academy/i hailed it as "a great book - almost a masterpiece," while the iDundee Advertiser/i predicted that "it will rank in forefront of modern fiction," and iThe New York Times/i declared that its author John Trevena was "unquestionably one of the most notable of living writers." And yet iFurze the Cruel/i has been out of print for almost a century and its author and his other nearly thirty books have been all but completely forgotten. piFurze the Cruel/i is the first of Trevena's trilogy of novels focusing on life in Dartmoor, a land peopled by strange and often grotesque characters and haunted by pixies and witchcraft. Taking as its theme the cruelty of God, Nature, and Man, the novel tells the intertwined stories of the inhabitants of a Devonshire village. By turns tragic and comic, and richly evocative in its prose and characterizations, iFurze the Cruel/i is a moving and powerful novel that readers will not soon forget. pThis new edition, featuring an introduction and notes by Professor Gerald C. Monsman of the University of Arizona, restores this rare text to modern readers and argues for a reconsideration of Trevena as an important novelist of the Edwardian period.
