A radical outsider, a fearless heroine and a society laid bare Volume I of a three-volume edition First published in 1796, Robert Bage’s Hermsprong; or, Man as He Is Not is a bold work of social criticism and radical thought. Through the eyes of Hermsprong, a gentleman raised in America and untouched by the rigid hierarchies of Britain, the novel begins its sharp examination of class, privilege, religion and the position of women. By setting natural virtue and reason against the pretensions of inherited rank, Bage crafts a narrative at once satirical and deeply humane. At its centre stands Maria Fluart, one of the most remarkable heroines of the age—witty, independent and unwilling to accept submission as her fate. Admired by Sir Walter Scott yet long neglected, Hermsprong speaks with undiminished urgency. This first volume includes the Biographical Introduction, Editorial Note and full Introduction to this P-Wave Classics edition. With notes and an introduction by L.A. DAVENPORT. A radical outsider, a fearless heroine and a society laid bare Volume I of a three-volume edition First published in 1796, Robert Bage’s Hermsprong; or, Man as He is Not is a daring novel of social satire and progressive thought. Hermsprong, an American-raised gentleman untouched by Britain’s rigid class system, confronts the corruption, pretension and hypocrisy of the English elite. At the centre of the story is Maria Fluart, one of the most striking heroines of the age. Witty, outspoken and unafraid to challenge the men around her—even brandishing a pistol when pressed—she embodies a spirited independence rarely seen in fiction of the period. Bage himself was admired by Sir Walter Scott, yet Hermsprong has long been overlooked. Satirical and humane, it offers a fearless defence of equality, sincerity and freedom of thought. This new three-volume P-Wave Classics edition features an original introduction and extensive notes, situating Bage’s remarkable novel in the ferment of the late Enlightenment and the early Romantic age. Edited with notes and an introduction by L.A. Davenport. This volume contains the Biographical Introduction, Editorial Note and the opening volume of the novel.
