Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to Historical Fiction Tales, has written an able defence of the reading of this kind of romance, to which I have little to add except by the way of emphasis. Historical fiction is not history, but it is often better than history. A fine historical painting, a pageant, or a play, may easily teach more and carry a deeper impression than whole Chapters of description and analysis. Esmond and Tom fones are indispensable adjuncts to Lecky. Scott and Dumas will always have a larger history class than any two regular historians you could name. Even a second-rate historical novel may have ample excuse for existence. But a good one - good, that is, merely as a story - though chronology may be at fault and facts inaccurately stated, will probably succeed in making a period live in the imagination when text-books merely give us dry bones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to British and American Novels: Being a Comprehensive Manual of All Forms of Popular Fiction in Great Britain, Australasia, and America From Its Commencement Down to 1894 This book is the result of thirty-six years continuous study of British, American, and Australasian fiction. Obviously few general readers in these busy days have leisure to read the novels of the past; and yet some knowledge of these is important, while, through ignorance of how to select judiciously amid the myriads of old or comparatively old novels and romances, the contemporary reader is sorely perplexed and inevitably deprived of very much pleasure and profit, through want of the necessary guide. The object of this manual is to place before readers, in succinct form, a trustworthy account, brief as is compatible with lucidity, of most of the principal novels and romances of the past. Readers can select thence whatever appears most suited to their tastes, or remain content with the information here given.

Download or read book A Descriptive Guide to the Best Fiction written by Ernest A. Baker and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Descriptive Guide to the Best Fiction: British and American; Including Translations From Foreign Languages Containing About 4, 500 References; With Copious Indexes and a Historical Appendix The object of this book is to supply a fairly complete list of the best prose fiction in English, including, not all that interests students, but all that the ordinary reader is likely to care about, with as much description of matter and style, for the guidance of readers, as can be condensed into a few lines of print for each book. It does not claim to be a bibliography. This would have involved reference to the actual title-pages of first editions; such bibliographical accuracy is not necessary in a mere guide for readers. Long titles are usually abbreviated; sub-titles, when they are descriptive, often appear in the note. The entries are arranged first in main divisions according to nationalities of writers, and then in the chronological order of publication, so far as consists with easy reference. Consequently this should be a useful work of reference for students of literary history. It may be thought that the recent periods are numerically over-represented as compared with the earlier, even if we have regard to the immensity of the modern "output" of fiction. No doubt this is so, if we pay strict attention to literary merit; but every age is naturally most interested in contemporary writers. In a future edition, doubtless, a large proportion of these recent authors will drop out, and their places will be occupied by others quite as ephemeral. In the notes, the aim has been to subordinate criticism to description. The annotator has not sought to appraise the literary value of the books dealt with. Yet, in order to convey as dear an impression as he was able of the particular species, character and style of each Novel, he has not refrained, where he has thought it needful, from offering what may be considered as critical observations on books and authors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Best Fiction in English Where American novels have been published in England with an altered title, or English novels with an American title, the spurious desig nation is quoted in the note.' The original titles Of foreign works of fiction are given in italics after the English title, In most cases where they are not practically identical, with the exception of Russian and other languages in which the transliteration of titles is not uniform and the information would be of trifling value to the ordinary reader. It is hoped that in this and other points a fair degree of accuracy has been attained, but the possibilities of error in such a compilation as the present are innumerable, and the writer can only trust that his faults Of omission and commission are not serious, and that attention will be called thereto in order that they may be reduced in a future edition. It should be noted that books published since 3ist December, 191 I, do not come within his present purview.

Download or read book History in Fiction written by Ernest A. Baker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History in Fiction: A Guide to the Best Historical Romances, Sagas, Novels, and Tales The present work was begun as an amplification of the Historical Appendix to my Guide to the Best Fiction, published in 1903. As the result of efforts to include every good work of prose fiction dealing with past times, it has grown into a kind of dictionary of 'historical' romance from the earliest sagas to the latest historical novel. The word historical has been given a wide interpretation, so as to embrace stories that portray the life of the past in any way whatsoever, no matter if actual persons and actual public events have no place in them. Mr. Jonathan Nield, in his most useful Guide to Historical Novels and Tales - which, by the way, does not aim at this degree of comprehensiveness - has written an able and sufficient defence of the reading of historical romance. Although this kind of fiction is not the most prolific in masterpieces, it undoubtedly has a special charm for a great many people; while on the educational side, even a fourth-rate historical novel may have ample excuse for existence. Though chronology may be at fault, and facts inaccurately stated, a good tale often succeeds in making a period live in the imagination when text books merely give us dry bones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary History of England, Vol. 1 of 3: In the End of the Eighteenth and Beginning of the Ninetheenth Century IT is with diffidence that the Author of the following volumes offers them to the public. The subject is a great one, and so manifold in its details that it is impossible not to have made omissions in various quarters: and especially in those on which she can pretend to least knowledge, in the graver literature of Science and Philosophy. It was intended origin ally that the work should extend farther, and come down to the elder figures even of our own times, the poets who are now regnant in England, and the many eminent writers who have but just departed; but the period before our own, which has formed them and us, and which reaches into our own by so many survivals, was found too rich and ample to allow of further additions. The aim of the Author has been throughout rather to give, as fully as she was able, a history of the new departures, in poetry above all, in criticism, in fiction, and, to the extent of her.
