Novelist Harold Frederic (1856-1898) played a critical role in the
development of realistic American fiction. His best work analyzes
the narrow-mindedness of small towns of his native upstate New
York. Frederic's most famous novel, The Damnation of Theron Ware
(1896), chronicles the life of a young Methodist minister who, as
he falls under the influence of progressive ideas, becomes a
skeptic. He comes to regard his old religion as morally and
spiritually bankrupt, but in the process is nearly destroyed for
his unbelief. Frederic's depiction of intolerance, and of the
darker side of human nature, is comparable to the works of Emile
Zola and Sinclair Lewis.
