Hypatia – Or, New Foes With an Old Face
About this book
Hypatia, or New Foes with an Old Face details the fictional life of the philosopher Hypatia and tells the story of Philammon, a young monk, who becomes involved in the political and religious issues within the city of Alexandria. This fantastic book is considered to be Kingsley's greatest novel, widely read in its time and still enjoyed by discerning readers today - a must-have for any collector of Kingsley. Originally published in 1853, we proudly republish this scarce classic with a new introductory biography of the author. Charles Kingsley was a priest of the Church of England, historian, a university professor, novelist, and close friend of Charles Darwin. Other notable works by Kingsley include: The Water-Babies (1863), Hereward the Wake: "Last of the English" (1866) and Westward Ho! (1855).
