Type: SHORTFICTION
Length: short story
Language: English
Note: First published (as by "the author of The Gray Champion") in the New England Magazine, June 1835. This story is not supernatural, but has a certain degree of the fantastic to it.
Synopsis: Wakefield, a cold and selfish man, one day decides (for no reason) to leave home, disguise himself, take lodgings near his house, and watch what his wife does when he fails to come back. While she settles into contented life without him, he lives like a hermit for many years, eventually realizing that he has given up "his place and privileges with living men, without being admitted among the dead."
