| The Adventures of Allegra Fullerton or, A Memoir of Startling and Amusing Episodes from Itinerant Life: A Novel | After the unexpected success of The Strange Death of Mistress Coffin (1991) and my subsequently aborted attempt to write a novel set in the mid-20th century, I started to cast about for a new historical subject for fiction. I was fascinated by seventeenth-century America, where I had set Mistress Coffin. But I was also fascinated by nineteenth-century America. I had some ideas of using the utopian communities of the period as a point of departure, but little more than that. |
