The Trial of Sören Qvist

The Trial of Sören Qvist

Originally published in 1947, The Trial of SÃ¶ren Qvist has been praised by a number of critics for its intriguing plot and Janet Lewisâ€™s powerful writing. And in the introduction to this new edition, Swallow Press executive editor and author Kevin Haworth calls attention to the contemporary feeling of the storyâ€”despite its having been written more than fifty years ago and set several hundred years in the past. As in Lewisâ€™s best-known novel, The Wife of Martin Guerre, the plot derives from Samuel March Phillipsâ€™s nineteenth-century study, Famous Cases of Circumstantial Evidence, in which this British legal historian considered the trial of Pastor SÃ¶ren Qvist to be the most striking case.
