Sylvanus Cobb Jr., (1823 – 1887)
A compact biographical series exploring the life and legacy of Sylvanus Cobb Jr., one of 19th-century America’s most prolific popular novelists. These short essays trace his early naval voyages, his complex place in the history of sensational fiction, and the intellectual and moral world of his family – from abolition and temperance to Freemasonry and literary ambition. Together, they offer a portrait of a writer who bridged pulp entertainment and principled conviction.
