Reseña del editor

Set in upstate New York in 1869, Moonlight Sonata tells the story of a young woman, Hetty Griswold, caught between two men. On one side stands her husband, Archie Griswold, chief signalman of the Albany & Susquehanna Railroad, a jealous man all too ready to believe the worst of his wife. On the other side stands Chauncey Miller, a former suitor who left off his pursuit in 1861 to answer Lincoln’s first call for volunteers at the outbreak of the Civil War. After one letter, she heard nothing more from him during the entire war and for two years after Lee’s surrender. Giving him up for dead, she married Archie, only to see Chauncey reappear, crazed and crippled after four years as a prisoner of war and four years seeking revenge on his captors. He now wishes to reclaim her, and to do so, is willing to make her a widow.

Biografía del autor

Franklin (Frank) R. Rogers worked three years as a signalman-telegrapher on the now-defunct New York Central Railroad. That experience provides most of the railroading details in his latest novel, Moonlight Sonata. After enlisting in the US Army following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he was wounded in north Burma, deafened by a mortar shell blast. He then earned a PhD in English and American literature at the University of California–Berkeley, became a university professor, and an internationally distinguished scholar and literary critic. He taught at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, the University of California–Davis, the University of Lyon (France), the University of Paris–Sorbonne (Paris IV), and San Jose State University. The author of five nonfiction works and two novels, he has also edited three scholarly editions of Mark Twain’s writings, including the definitive edition of Roughing It, prepared for the Center for Editions of American Authors of the Modern Language Association.
