Synopsis

Cast Adrift was T.S. Arthur’s most fervent cry against the moral, social, and physical degradation in which many children and adults lived in the cities of nineteenth century America. Though it is cast in the form of a novel, it presents a catalog of societal evils. Its intent was to rouse comfortable middle and upper class Americans to action in righting the human wrongs that existed right in their midst. This edition is based on fresh scans of the 1872 first edition of Cast Adrift. It has been carefully edited to faithfully follow the original text, and re-typeset to convey the flavor of the original. Unlike other available reprints, it also reproduces the original illustrations. Please enjoy this deluxe edition of T.S. Arthur’s classic work of moral fiction. Timothy Shay Arthur (1809–1885) was a popular American author of moral fiction and non-fiction. He was best known for his temperance novels, especially Ten Nights in a Bar-Room and What I Saw There. Arthur was author, co-author, or editor of over two hundred books. He also published, with his co-editor Virginia F. Townsend, the women’s periodical Arthur’s Home Magazine, which ran for over forty years in the second half of the nineteenth century.
