Description

The Collected Works of Ingersoll Lockwood: A Collection of Unsettling Proportions Ingersoll Lockwood's works have seen a resurgence in interest since Donald Trump's election to President of the United States in 2016. Written before the turn of the 20th Century, these titles contain eerie similarities with modern day political events. For the first time, all the works are presented in a single volume, allowing readers to decipher for themselves whether Lockwood's words were a telling of things to come or just a curious coincidence of American literature. Lockwood's children's books, including Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and his Wonderful Dog Bulger, followed a literary trend of the time. The series featured child protagonists adventuring to enchanted lands and encountering fantastic beings. However, Lockwood's own stories, such as 1900; Or, the Last President, presented a more sinister tone. These novels follow the adventures of an aristocratic youth who travels to Russia in search of adventure, only to find himself lost in a peculiar underground world. This collection offers a unique insight into American literature and the power of storytelling to predict and reflect the world around us.
