Overview
England, 1873. John Caldigate, a young gentleman, gets into debt gambling and decides to try his luck in the gold fields of New South Wales. On the outward journey, he promises to marry Mrs. Smith, a divorced actress who is traveling in the same ship. Returning home a rich man, John marries Hester, the sweetheart he left behind. Soon, Mrs. Smith also returns from Australia, penniless, and claims that she is already his wife. Inspired by Anthony Trollope’s 1879 novel John Caldigate, Dispossession embeds the reader in a uniquely wrought experience of the mid-19th century, including the first ever appearance of the Aboriginal Wiradjuri language in a graphic novel. Taking unique advantage of the graphic form to conjure the material world of the Victorian era in a glittering waltz of intense color and deep shadow, Dispossession is a virtuoso and intensely affecting graphic novel by a master visual storyteller.
