September 27, 2015 By Catherine Pope

The Story of Lilly Dawson by Catherine CroweWe’re very pleased to announce a new critical edition of Catherine Crowe’s ‘The Story of Lilly Dawson’, edited by Ruth Heholt.

Shipwrecked as a young girl, middle-class Lilly Dawson is kidnapped by smugglers and forced to work as their servant. Terrified by the prospect of a forced marriage, this Victorian Cinderella flees captivity and has to navigate an outside world she finds both oppressive and dangerous. ‘The Story of Lilly Dawson’ is a romping tale of pirates, outlaws, murder, mistaken identity, lust and betrayal.

This edition includes a critical introduction, explanatory footnotes,  selection of contemporary reviews, and extracts from Crowe’s other work.
