Excerpt from English Literature of the Nineteenth Century: On the Plan of the Author's "Compendium of English Literature," and Supplementary to It The second marked change in my book results, of course, from the necessity of keeping abreast with the intellectual progress of the age, - the busiest-brained generation the world has ever known. During the last fourteen years, a large number of authors have emerged, from greater or less obscurity of reputa tion, into assured prominence in their several departments of literature; and one of my most delicate tasks has been to set forth in these pages a just record of such developments; and no effort has been spared to determine fairly, as far as I could, the comparative attitude, as well as the absolute literary status, of every prominent writer. That this has been, all along, a work of great and constant difficulty and embarrassment, I need hardly say; that I shall secure a unanimous verdict in favor of my suc cess upon this point, it would be idle to hope; but of this I 'feel sure, that the most lenient criticism will be extended to me from those who have most widely viewed and critically examined this illimitable field. There is one new feature of the present edition which, I am confident, will be universally acceptable, - the Supplementary Lists of secondary authors, alphabetically arranged and ap pended to each decade, with short notices of their chief works. They are classed as secondary only in a comparative sense. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Five Great Authors: Complete Characteristic Selections From the Works of Irving, Hawthorne, Soon, Dickens, Hugo When the time that can be given to the study of literature is limited, it is Often better to study the works of several authors than to give all one's time to the study of one only. This book includes selections from five famous authors. The selections are representative, and the authors are representa tive too. That is, from these stories and extracts we may form a fair idea of the literary character and position of the men who wrote them. And the men who wrote these pieces are among the greatest writers of our century. Washington Irving was the first American man of letters who made himself a reputation abroad as well as at home he remains the representative of the earlier literature Of our country. Hawthorne is our greatest romancer he was not under stood and appreciated early in his career, but by this time he is universally known and loved by us. Sir Walter Scott is the most famous of English novelists his Waverley Novels form an epoch in the literary history of the nineteenth century. Dickens, some twenty years after Scott, repeated Scott's success from his first great book to his last he filled a place in the minds of English readers second to none. Victor Hugo is the one great name in the French literature of our century which overtops every other no other man can stand for modern French literature as properly as he. If, then, we are to make a beginning in forming a taste for good literature, these men are as good men as we can find. If these extracts send their readers to the works of their authors, they will do a great service. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A landmark collection documenting the social, political, and artistic lives of African American women throughout the tumultuous nineteenth century. Named one of NPR's Best Books of 2017. The Portable Nineteenth-Century African American Women Writers is the most comprehensive anthology of its kind: an extraordinary range of voices offering the expressions of African American women in print before, during, and after the Civil War. Edited by Hollis Robbins and Henry Louis Gates, Jr., this collection comprises work from forty-nine writers arranged into sections of memoir, poetry, and essays on feminism, education, and the legacy of African American women writers. Many of these pieces engage with social movements like abolition, women’s suffrage, temperance, and civil rights, but the thematic center is the intellect and personal ambition of African American women. The diverse selection includes well-known writers like Sojourner Truth, Hannah Crafts, and Harriet Jacobs, as well as lesser-known writers like Ella Sheppard, who offers a firsthand account of life in the world-famous Fisk Jubilee Singers. Taken together, these incredible works insist that the writing of African American women writers be read, remembered, and addressed. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Drawing on research into the book-production records of twelve publishers-including George Bell & Son, Richard Bentley, William Blackwood, Chatto & Windus, Oliver & Boyd, Macmillan, and the book printers William Clowes and T&A Constable - taken at ten-year intervals from 1836 to 1916, this book interprets broad trends in the growth and diversity of book publishing in Victorian Britain. Chapters explore the significance of the export trade to the colonies and the rising importance of towns outside London as centres of publishing; the influence of technological change in increasing the variety and quantity of books; and how the business practice of literary publishing developed to expand the market for British and American authors. The book takes examples from the purchase and sale of popular fiction by Ouida, Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Ewing, and canonical authors such as George Eliot, Wilkie Collins, and Mark Twain. Consideration of the unique demands of the educational market complements the focus on fiction, as readers, arithmetic books, music, geography, science textbooks, and Greek and Latin classics became a staple for an increasing number of publishing houses wishing to spread the risk of novel publication.
