Editor's Note:
Darkness and Daylight, And Other Stories is the collected works of Mary Jane Holmes (April 5, 1825 – October 6, 1907), who was a bestselling and prolific American author who published 39 popular novels, as well as short stories. Her first novel sold 250,000 copies; and she had total sales of 2 million books in her lifetime, second only to Harriet Beecher Stowe.Portraying domestic life in small town and rural settings, she examined gender relationships, as well as those of class and race. She also dealt with slavery and the American Civil War, with a strong sense of moral justice. Since the late 20th century, she has received fresh recognition and reappraisal, although her popular work was excluded from most 19th-century literary histories compiled by men.This book contains 20 works of Mary Jane 1 Darkness and Daylight2 Aikenside3 Bad Hugh4 Bessie's Fortune5 Cousin Maude6 Dora Deane7 ‘Lena Rivers8 Maggie Miller9 Tempest and Sunshine10 Tempest and Sunshine11 The English Orphans12 The Rector of St. Mark's13 Tracy Park14 Ethelyn's Mistake15 Homestead on the Hillside16 Family Pride17 Rosamond or, The Youthful Error18 Miss McDonald19 Daisy Thornton20 Jessie Graham
