Edgar Huntley

Set in late 18th-century Pennsylvania, the narrative follows Edgar Huntly, a young man seeking justice for his friend's murder. His investigation leads him to Clithero, a sleepwalking servant whose mysterious behavior raises suspicions. As Huntly trails Clithero through the wilderness, he uncovers a complex tale of guilt and flight from Ireland, rather than the truth behind Waldegrave's death. The novel explores themes of guilt, the subconscious, and the quest for truth amid uncertainty.
