Download or read book The Fortunate Island and Other Stories Illustrated Edition written by Charles H Clark (Writing as Max Adeler) and published by Echo Library. This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clark (1841-1915) was an American journalist, novelist and humorist, most of whose work appeared under the pen name Max Adeler. He was also known by the pseudonym John Quill. He served in the Union Army during the Civil War, after which he became a reporter on the Philadelphia Inquirer. Within two months he was promoted to editorial writer, later taking on the same position with the North American. His interest in economics led him to become editor and proprietor of the Textile Record, a founder and secretary of the Manufacturers' Club and editor of its organ, the Manufacturer. His best known work was the humorous Out of the Hurly Burly (1874), which was popular on both sides of the Atlantic. Clark is also known for his claim that Mark Twain plagiarised his 1880 novella Fortunate Island with A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889). Twain wrote a rebuttal to the charge, but compared Yankee to Clark's story An Old Fogey which appears in the same volume as Fortunate Island. The feud between the two writers dated back to the early 1870s with each accusing the other of plagiarism. Clark disliked his own reputation as a humorist and gave up writing in the genre for a while before returning to it in the early years of the 20th century, contributing light pieces to magazines. This collection of five stories is reprinted from an edition of 1882 with six full-page illustrations. In addition to the title story, the collection includes The City of Burlesque, An Old Fogy, Major Dunwoody's Leg, and "Jinnie".

Download or read book The A to Z of Fantasy Literature written by Brian Stableford and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-08-13 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time all literature was fantasy, set in a mythical past when magic existed, animals talked, and the gods took an active hand in earthly affairs. As the mythical past was displaced in Western estimation by the historical past and novelists became increasingly preoccupied with the present, fantasy was temporarily marginalized until the late 20th century, when it enjoyed a spectacular resurgence in every stratum of the literary marketplace. Stableford provides an invaluable guide to this sequence of events and to the current state of the field. The chronology tracks the evolution of fantasy from the origins of literature to the 21st century. The introduction explains the nature of the impulses creating and shaping fantasy literature, the problems of its definition and the reasons for its changing historical fortunes. The dictionary includes cross-referenced entries on more than 700 authors, ranging across the entire historical spectrum, while more than 200 other entries describe the fantasy subgenres, key images in fantasy literature, technical terms used in fantasy criticism, and the intimately convoluted relationship between literary fantasies, scholarly fantasies, and lifestyle fantasies. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography that ranges from general textbooks and specialized accounts of the history and scholarship of fantasy literature, through bibliographies and accounts of the fantasy literature of different nations, to individual author studies and useful websites.
