Edward Eggleston: 37 books

This 1883 juvenile novel, a sequel to Eggleston's first and best-known novel, The Hoosier School-Master, is based on the experiences of Eggleston's brother as a teacher.  It offers considered criticisms of rural educational practices in Indiana but is also full of nostalgia for a bygone time in American life. 

Published in 1891, this was Eggleston's final novel, before he turned his hand exclusively to history.  Here Eggleston satirizes the wealthy followers of Christian Science and faith healing.  "The book was not written to depreciate anyone's valued delusions," he writes in his Preface, "but to make a study of human nature under certain modern conditions."

Published in 1893, this collection of eleven short stories includes "Sister Tabea," "The Gunpowder Plot," "The Story of a Valentine," "Talking for Life," and "The Christmas Club." Eggleston writes in his preface, "By these I am willing to be judged."
