St. Elmo was the most famed and beloved novel by Augusta Jane
Evans, a June 2015 inductee into the Alabama Writers Hall of Fame.
First published in 1866, Evans’s rich tale of the relationship
between the dashing and worldly St. Elmo and Edna Earl, an exemplar
of virtuous Southern womanhood, sold over a million copies in four
months and became one of the nineteenth century’s most
influential novels. This edition includes an introduction by Evans
scholar Diane Roberts about the enduring relevance and legacy of
St. Elmo as a work of literature as well as a reflection of gender
roles and the seismic societal changes taking place in the United
States in the aftermath of the Civil War.
