Oswald Cray is so often praised for his strong values and nobility,
that it is easy for him to forget that he still has flaws. After a
nosy servant, who meddles in others’ belongings, finds a letter
he deems to be suspicious, he presents false charges against Dr.
Davenal, a kind and patient man who previously held a sterling
reputation. Unaware that it was all a misunderstanding, Cray places
too much trust in his own suspicions and breaks off his engagement
with the doctor’s daughter. As chaos ensues as broken hearts,
criminal activity and ruined reputations continue to feed the
drama, escalating an issue that could have been easily avoided.
Written by an internationally bestselling author, Mrs. Henry Wood,
Oswald Cray: A Novel is rarely found in print. Though lesser known
than her other novels, Oswald Cray: A Novel deserves recognition
for its elegant prose and amusing tone. Featuring complex
characters and impactful themes, this work of Victorian sensation
fiction is compelling and intricate, fueled by the relatable flaws
of the characters and their misfortunes. Decorated with detail of
specific aspects of culture, such as women’s fashion, Oswald
Cray: A Novel allows modern readers an uncommon perspective on the
culture of social norms of Victorian England. Though first
published in 1864, Mrs. Henry Wood’s Oswald Cray: A Novel remains
to feel fresh and relatable, while simultaneously allowing modern
readers to be immersed in this 19th century community. This edition
of Oswald Cray: A Novel by Mrs. Henry Wood now features an
eye-catching new cover design and is printed in a font that is both
modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition of
Oswald Cray: A Novel creates an accessible and pleasant reading
experience for modern audiences while restoring the original
sentiment and drama of Mrs. Henry Wood’s work.
