EdwardEggleston (1837–1902), a clergyman like Holland and Roe, and like General Wallace a native of Indiana, though nourished in the school which made the domestic-sentimentalpious romance the dominant type of fiction between 1850 and 1870, must yet be considered the pioneer figure in the new realism which succeeded it in the eighties.
Stowe or her followers would have thought of themselves as writing fiction considerably for the sake of its moral consequences, Eggleston, having read Taine’s Art in the Netherlands, 19 undertook to portray the life of southern Indiana in the faithful, undoctrinaire spirit of a Dutch painter.
All Eggleston’s essential novels are concerned with this phase of American life, whatever the scene: Indiana in The Hoosier Schoolmaster, The End of the World (1872), and Roxy (1878); Ohioin The Circuit Rider (1874); Illinois in The Graysons (1887); Minnesota in The Mystery of Metropolisville (1873).
EdwardEggleston was born on December 10, 1837, in Vevay, Indiana.
Most of Eggleston’s childhood was spent in Vevay and at the Craig farm in the countryside, so he attended both a country school and a town school.
Eggleston's novel Roxy is perhaps his most mature work, in part because it was written at a time when he was questioning his strict religious doctrines.
