Download or read book Francis Brett Young written by Michael Hall and published by Seren Books. This book was released on 1997 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francis Brett Young (1884-1954) was one of the most prolific and successful authors of his era. During the inter-war years his novels (he wrote over thirty) were consistent bestsellers, were translated into eleven languages, and were made into movies. And yet, today, he is little known, hardly read. Hall's study of Young is an excellent inquiry into what makes a best-selling author, what decides literary fashion, how popular literature is created, and when and why does it cease to be popular. By charting Young's life and rediscovering his work, he provides an illuminating study of the economics of literature and the transience of popular consumption. Michael Hall is vice-chairman of the Francis Brett Hall Society, and a teacher and lecturer.

Book excerpt: The award-winning author of The Lie Tree “has created a distinctly imaginative world full of engaging characters, robust humor, and true suspense” (School Library Journal, starred review). Everybody knew that books were dangerous. Read the wrong book, it was said, and the words crawled around your brain on black legs and drove you mad, wicked mad. Mosca Mye’s father insisted on teaching her to read—even in a world where books are dangerous, regulated things. Eight years later, Quillam Mye died, leaving behind an orphaned daughter with an inauspicious name and an all-consuming hunger for words. Trapped for years in the care of her cruel uncle and aunt, Mosca leaps at the opportunity for escape, though it comes in the form of sneaky swindler Eponymous Clent. As she travels the land with Clent and her pet goose, Mosca begins to discover complicated truths about the world she inhabits and the power of words. “Intricate plotting, well-developed and fascinating characters, delicious humor, and exquisite wordcraft envelop readers fully into this richly imagined world.” ?The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review) “Hardinge’s stylish way with prose gives her sprawling debut fantasy a literate yet often silly tone that calls to mind Monty Python.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Mosca’s ferocity and authentic inner turmoil [are] both reminiscent of Philip Pullman’s Lyra Belacqua.” ?Booklist “Incredibly well written.” ?The Seattle Times

Book excerpt: Richard Hughes (1900-76) is probably best known for his remarkable bestseller about childhood, A High Wind in Jamaica (1929), now recognised as a modern classic. In Hazard (1938), his second novel, has been compared to Conrad's Typhoon. In his latter years, he worked on a series of novels, called The Human Predicament, a massive project in which he explored the social, economic, political and moral forces which shaped the period 1918-1945. Although only two of these novels, The Fox in the Attic (1961) and The Wooden Shepherdess (1973), were completed, Hughes's achievement has been widely praised. No other twentieth century novelist has so successfully transposed history into fiction. Richard Poole, who lived near Hughes in north Wales and who came to know and admire him, has written the first biographical and critical study of this major author. The first part of this book reveals more than ever before the extrordinary life of this remarkable man, who was a successful playwright before he left Oxford University, who wrote the first radio play, who undertook amazing adventures in the Balkans and Morocco, and who, for nearly the whole of his life, exhibited a deep attachment to Wales. The second and longer part of the book is a detailed examination of Hughes's work: his plays, poems, short stories and the novels. This is a study enriched by Poole's intimate knowledge of the man and his sources. Hughes emerges as a writer of staggering versatility, fastidious craftmanship and deep humanity. Richard Poole, poet and critic, was born in Bradford and educated at the University College of North Wales, Bangor. He was for many years Tutor in Literature at Coleg Harlech. His publications include volumes of poetry and he is a former editor of Poetry Wales. An authority on the work of Richard Hughes, he has edited the writer's early stories, In the Lap of Atlas (1979) and a selection of his literary writings, Fiction as Truth (1983).
