The Damnation of Theron Ware (1896) is a novel by Harold Frederic.
Inspired by his upbringing in Utica, New York, The Damnation of
Theron Ware is a story of faith, community, and rural life from an
underappreciated master of American realism. A bestseller in the
year of its publication, the novel has earned praise for its
criticism of cultural and religious hypocrisy in nineteenth century
provincial life. "No such throng had ever before been seen in the
building during all its eight years of existence. People were
wedged together most uncomfortably upon the seats; they stood
packed in the aisles and overflowed the galleries; at the back, in
the shadows underneath these galleries, they formed broad, dense
masses about the doors, through which it would be hopeless to
attempt a passage." Despite his young age, Theron Ware has been
appointed pastor of a small-yet-lively Methodist congregation in
the Adirondack Mountains of New York. As he settles into his role
and attempts to gain the trust of the townsfolk, he begins to doubt
himself as a messenger of God and to question the role of the
Methodist church in the life of humankind. Influenced by local
Catholics and a passionate Darwinist, Ware starts to dream of
changing his life, of leaving the world of faith and salvation
behind him. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Harold Frederic's The Damnation
of Theron Ware is a classic work of American literature reimagined
for modern readers.
