   Is the Essex Serpent a good book?

   • The Essex Serpent is a magnificent work that uses the form of the Gothic novel to explore real-world and very human concerns. It may be set in the late 19th century, but it resonates with issues just as compelling as those of the 21st. Superstition and faith versus science and fact. The nature and limits of friendship, the moral limits of medicine.

   What does Essex look like in the serpent craze?

   • Essex has her bride’s gown on: there’s cow parsley frothing by the road and daisies on the common, and the hawthorn’s dressed in white; wheat and barley fatten in the fields, and bindweed decks the hedges. Cross this cozy pastoral vision with the Gothic nature of the Serpent craze and you get quite a unique atmosphere.
