Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The binding thread throughout this edited collection of Ambrose Bierce's letters is the argument that Bierce has too often vilified as a cynical misanthrope. Joshi and Schultz believe that Bierce's human side has been ignored by scholars, and they work here to rectify this oversight. The importance of this collection is underscored by the fact that no collection of Bierce's letters has been published since 1922. This selection represents a sampling of nearly one-half million words of Bierce's correspondence, which Joshi and Schultz are the first to gather and transcribe." "The letters reveal many sides of Bierce that he deliberately concealed in his literary work: the caring father who keenly felt the deaths of his two sons and took constant interest in the welfare of his only daughter; the literary giant of San Francisco who gathered around him a substantial cadre of disciples whose work he encouraged and meticulously criticized; the vigorous castigator of chicanery, hypocrisy, and injustice wherever he saw it; and the author of coyly flirtatious letters to a number of female correspondents. For the first time, a well-rounded picture of Bierce the man and writer emerges in his own words. The volume ends chillingly with Bierce's last surviving letter, written from Chihuahua, Mexico, on December 26, 1913, which concludes: "As for me, I leave here tomorrow for an unknown destination." Bierce was never heard from again." "The letters have been scrupulously edited from manuscript sources and exhaustively annotated to elucidate obscure historical, literary, and other references."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-One Letters of Ambrose Bierce Nine years mark the disappearance of Ambrose Bierce and yet a biography or critical essay in appreciation of the poet, satirist, adventurer, journalist and supreme story-teller, still remains to be written. In the meantime, Herman Melville, touted with Poe and Whitman as one of the three distinct landmarks in American literature, seems to have achieved hectic permanence. The past half-dozen years have seen the decline and fall of O. Henry. Edgar Saltus, a man of genius with the limitation of his environment and a public that has seen fit to sniff over "Imperial Purple" and utterly ignore "The Imperial Orgy," is dead for a year and the brothers of the rare book alone attest to his limited but safe security. Of Messrs. Hergesheimer and Cabell let us say little - very little. Pater and Stevenson, with a combination and admixture of Yankee perspicacity, never yet conspired to make two helpless and hopeless souls, men of genius. One chapter in "Jurgen," alone saves the book from altogether chaos. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
