Course Description

T. S. Eliot described The Moonstone as “the first, the longest, and the best of modern English detective novels.” The novel established many of the conventions of detective fiction. The moonstone of the title is a fabulous gem with a dark past. It is stolen on the night that Rachel Verinder was to inherit it, on her eighteenth birthday. The gem’s disappearance wreaks havoc on the lives and loves of the household. During the investigation by Sargent Cuff, our perspective shifts from the point of view of one character to another as the ultimately tragic mystery unfolds. For the first class, please read to the end of the First Period, i.e. chapters 1-23.
