The Mark of Cain

The Mark of Cain

Buchbeschreibung

Experience the interconnected and sensational plot of 'The Mark of Cain' by Andrew Lang, a novel full of classical, literary, and folkloric allusions. Set in Oxford, Lang's hero struggles to humanize himself by helping members of the working classes in the slums, all while trying to avoid the mark of Cain. Lang's fun and skillful writing style brings to life a cast of sensational characters, with a true-to-life portrayal of women that stands out from his caricatures in journalism. While the plot may seem improbable at times, Lang's blend of Victorian literature and the aesthetic movement provides a unique perspective on the era.
