Zustand: New. A reprint of a 1904 novel by Pennsylvania State College (now University) professor of English Fred Lewis Pattee, set in the 1890s in central Pennsylvania. Includes a preface by poet and essayist Julia Spicher Kasdorf and endnotes by Joshua R. Brown.

Originally published in 1905 by Henry Holt, The House of the Black Ring was Pattee's second novel-a local-color romance set in the mountains of Central Pennsylvania.

Joshua Brown draws on his expertise in Pennsylvania German ethno-linguistics to interpret the dialect writing and to give readers a clearer view of the customs and regionalisms depicted in the book. …
