More details
Inspired by a local true crime in 1843 and published as a Gothic novel in 1845, George Lippard’s The Quaker City or The Monks of Monk Hall is a sensational unve
iling of the secret lives of Philadelphia’s elite in the nineteenth century that reads as a deliciously depraved soap opera - but it’s all based on true events that actually happened.
