This edition of Hamlin Garland's best novel--best both for historical reasons and intrinsically---reprints Rose of Dutcher's Coolly in its original form. Partly in response to the attack on it when it appeared in 1895, Garland revised the novel in 1899, and this revision was used as the text of all later republications of Rose. As well as comparing the 1895 and 1899 editions, Donald Pizer's introduction places the novel in the context of Garland's career and in particular defines his attitude toward woman's sexuality as revealed in Rose--an attitude that was then considered radical and that lead to the attempted suppression of the book.
