Anti-Catholic fervor continued into the nineteenth century as a prejudiced conglomeration of myths, legends, and hyperactive suspicions, expressed in mob riots and political disenfranchisement. The forthright English Victorian quaked with fear at the thought of lecherous monks, sordid crimes in the confessional, villainous Jesuits, duped congregations, and over-sexed women—all devotees of impious idolatry toward the demon Rome. “Blood-cemented Babylon” was synonymous with evil, debauchery, autocracy, and corruption. At the same time, the English literary tradition, especially but not exclusively in the Gothic genre, aesthetically appropriated the authority, ceremony, ritual, artistic beauty, and sacramental efficacy of the Roman Church. John Ruskin, Charles Dickens, and Charlotte Brontë all display this element. (Eleanor Bourg Nicholson)

Shoemaker has traveled extensively, including prolonged stints in Turkey and Greece (as well as penning a few books, none of which were ever published), prior to studying library science. It wasn’t until she moved to Michigan – and her youngest kids were finally in school - that the concept for Shoemaker’s debut novel, 2018’s Mr. Rochester, hit. “[My] book group at Leelanau Township Library was discussing Jane Eyre, and I thought, someone should write Mr. Rochester’s story,” she says. “I said to myself, I should write that book.” (Anna Faller)
