The Great Level

Stella Tillyard

earliest edition we have, 2018 Chatto & Windus, 2018 hardcover 240 pages

His life and work are bound by order, measurement and science. One day lost on the level he spies a Fenswoman and everything he thought he knew starts to unravel. Rich with the language of seventeenth-century endeavour, this novel is a lush portrait of the contradictory forces of order and passion that converged to make America, and a prescient warning of its future.
