Edmund Schiddel wrote controversial fiction that dealing with the dark side of human nature. He set his novels in Bucks County, often focusing on the broadcast industry. Schiddel's most famous work was his Bucks County trilogy, which consists of The Devil in Bucks County, Scandal's Child, and The Good and Bad Weather. The first of these satirizes life in an artist's colony, presumably New Hope. The book ridicules the gossip, hypocrisy, and erotic lifestyle of Bucks Countians. The second novel of the trilogy focuses on a private school in the area, perhaps Lawrenceville. Common character types in Schiddel's novels include the successful Manhattan businessman who commutes to and from the city, the bored society wife, the reclusive artist, and the local resident. Many citizens of New Hope objected to Schiddel's picture of life along the Delaware River.
