Situating the novel in its eighteenth-century historical and geographical context, the afterword to this new edition foregrounds the author's skilful adaptation of historical-fiction conventions popularized by Sir Walter Scott and additionally highlights his social concern for the fate of Indigenous cultures in nineteenth-century Maritime Canada.
Samuel Douglass Smith Huyghue (1816-1891) was born in PEI but educated in Saint John, New Brunswick. An 1830s-50s contributor of poetry, fiction, and essays to the Halifax Morning Post, the Saint John Amaranth, and London's Bentley's Miscellany, he emigrated to Australia in 1851. There he was known as an artist and author of The Ballarat Riots. Gwendolyn Davies is an emerita professor of English and dean of graduate studies at the University of New Brunswick. She has published or edited six books and over sixty articles and book chapters on pre-1940 Atlantic literature and on the history of the book in Canada. Books include Studies in Maritime Literary History and a scholarly edition of Thomas McCulloch's The Mephibosheth Stepsure Letters.
