Paperback. Condition: Good. Originally published in 1836. Sheppard Lee, Written By Himself is a work of dark satire from the early years of the American Republic. Published as an autobiography and praised by Edgar Allan Poe, this is the story of a young idler who goes in search of buried treasure and finds instead the power to transfer his soul into other men's bodies. What follows is oneincreasingly practiced body snatcher'spicaresque journey through early American pursuits of happiness, as each new form Sheppard Lee assumes disappoints him anew while making him want more and more.

Lee learns that everything in America, even virtue and vice, are interchangeable; everything is an object and has its price.
