In one of the most famous paranormal events from Early America, the Nelly Butler apparition appeared to more than one hundred individuals on the coast of Maine in 1799-1800. While this ghost is among the most convincing apparitions ever recorded, no other haunting created such a storm of controversy, sparking accusations of fraud, witchcraft, and demonism. For the ghost known as Nelly Butler orchestrated a wedding, a death, and a sensation unmatched to the present day. The hauntings remain one of the great mysteries of history. The text includes accounts from eye-witnesses, letters by Abraham Cummings, and a critical introduction by Marcus LiBrizzi. An imprint of the University of Maine at Machias Press, the Library of Early Maine Literature reissues rare and important works in high quality editions with full supporting materials.

Mock-heroic is the exemplary genre of the English Augustan era: it is one of the few genres that the Augustans invented themselves, and it stands in a symbolic relation to a culture still reverential of the grandeurs of the classical past and uneasy about its ability to emulate them. Mock-Heroic from Butler to Cowper shows the protean nature of mock-epic at this time. It recounts the rise of mock-heroic, discusses the properties of the form, and explores its relation both to classical epic and to contemporary genres such as the poetic travesty and the novel. It also tracks the relation of mock-heroic to the concept to the sublime, especially to the low sublime unwittingly perfected by Richard Blackmore. Terry goes beyond previous commentators in arguing that mock-heroic was not merely a conventional genre, but also provided a supple discourse through which writers could represent a range of personal and social issues. He identifies mock-heroic properties in the Mandevillian discourse of economics and in the rhetoric of male gallantry towards women, in which women were simultaneously elevated and put down. He also sees mock-heroic as informing the idea of divine grace in the poetry and letters of William Cowper. Mixing a historical approach with incisive close readings, Terry provides a powerful re-evaluation of the form.
