The Pastor of Marston: M. E. Braddon's 'Unknown' Novella in Le Figaro

This book is the first scholarly, annotated edition of Mary Elizabeth Braddon's only French novella, Le Pasteur de Marston, published serially in Le Figaro during 1881 and never before translated or published in Britain. This edition places the original French version of the serial alongside an original translation into English. It includes detailed footnotes, a note on the text, a critical introduction, and appendices containing contextual material. The introduction offers a scholarly discussion of this little-known Braddon text, the circumstances of its publication and composition, and a comprehensive account of the approach taken to translation of this text.
