About this book
Author Hall Caine hailed from the Isle of Man, an isolated region with its own unique culture, quirks, and folklore that had long been under-represented in British literature. Early in his literary career, Caine set out to document his native region in novel form, and after several false starts, he produced The Deemster, which follows the life of Dan Mylrea, a bishop's son who lapses into a life of crime.
