"Betsy Klimasmith's richly informed edition of Rebecca Rush's Kelroywill go far to restore the novel to its rightful place as one of the most accomplished of early American novels. Situating Rush's work in the broad field of transatlantic culture, Professor Klimasmith's introduction recreates the daily life of the Early Republic, immersing the reader in the fraught contest for security and status shaping urban experience. In its portrait of the sociopathic Mrs. Hammond, Kelroyprovides an unforgettable account of that culture's moral flaws, the subtle violence of the drawing room and the voracity of the Atlantic world. Extensive appendices capture the period through excerpts from sentimental novels, sermons on gambling-even notes on dancing etiquette. Professor Klimasmith's accomplished edition offers a vital bridge between that lost world of cosmopolitan striving and our own." - Joseph Fichtelberg, Hofstra University

Synopsis
Kelroy, a nearly-forgotten 1812 novel by Rebecca Rush, combines the refinement of the novel of manners with the Gothic novel's hidden evil to tell the story of the star-crossed lovers Emily Hammond and the romantic Kelroy, whose romance is doomed by the machinations of Emily's mother. Set in the elite world of Philadelphia's Atlantic Rim society, Kelroy transcends the genre of sentimental romance to expose the financial pressures that motivate Mrs. Hammond's gambles. As she sacrifices her daughter to maintain the appearance of urbane wealth, Mrs. Hammond emerges as one of the most compellingly detestable figures in early American literature. Appendices include materials on gender, economics, and marriage; games and dancing; and gambling and the lottery in early urban America. A group of illustrations of early-nineteenth-century Philadelphia is also included.
