NOTES

Originally published in 1900, "The House Behind the Cedars" explores the South's obsession with race. A drama of a brother and sister who "pass for white" during the dangerous days of Reconstruction, this novel offers a realistic, unsentimental perspective on the role of race in American 19th century life. The story entails deception, but it is also an account of passion that impairs boundaries placed on it by cruel, illogical standards
