  • THE VIRGINIAN a Horseman of the Plains by OWEN WISTER
    THE VIRGINIAN A Horseman Of The Plains by OWEN WISTER To THEODORE ROOSEVELT Some of these pages you have seen, some you have praised, one stands new-written because you blamed it; and all, my dear critic, beg leave to remind you of their author's changeless admiration. TO THE READER Certain of the newspapers, when this book was first announced, made a mistake most natural upon seeing the sub-title as it then stood, A TALE OF SUNDRY ADVENTURES. "This sounds like a historical novel," said one of them, meaning (I take it) a colonial romance. As it now stands, the title will scarce lead to such interpretation; yet none the less is this book historical--quite as much so as any colonial romance. Indeed, when you look at the root of the matter, it is a colonial romance. For Wyoming between 1874 and 1890 was a colony as wild as was Virginia one hundred years earlier. As wild, with a scantier population, and the same primitive joys and dangers. There were, to be sure, not so many Chippendale settees. We know quite well the common understanding of the term "historical novel." HUGH WYNNE exactly fits it. But SILAS LAPHAM is a novel as perfectly historical as is Hugh Wynne, for it pictures an era and personifies a type. It matters not that in the one we find George Washington and in the other none save imaginary figures; else THE SCARLET LETTER were not historical. Nor does it matter that Dr. Mitchell did not live in the time of which he wrote, while Mr.

FOREWORD JAMES AGEE IN 1936 by Walker Evans AT THE TIME, Agee was a youthful-looking twenty- seven. I think he felt he was elaborately masked, but what you saw right away - alas for conspiracy - was a faint rubbing of Harvard and Exeter, a hint of family gentility, and a trace of romantic idealism. He could be taken for a likable American young man, an above-average product of the Great Democracy from any part of the country. He didn't look much like a poet, an intellectual, an artist, or a Christian, each of which he was. Nor was there outward sign of his paralyzing, self-lacerating anger. His voice was pronouncedly quiet and low-pitched, though not of "culti- vated" tone. It gave the impression of diffidence, but never of weakness.

    Tess of the d'Urbervilles Hardy, Thomas Published: 1891 Categorie(s): Fiction, Romance Source: Feedbooks 1 About Hardy: Thomas Hardy, OM (2 June 1840 – 11 January 1928) was an English novelist, short story writer, and poet of the naturalist movement. The bulk of his work, set mainly in the semi-imaginary county of Wessex, de- lineates characters struggling against their passions and circumstances. Hardy's poetry, first published in his fifties, has come to be as well re- garded as his novels, especially after the 1960s Movement.

The pair of legs that carried him were rick- ety, and there was a bias in his gait which inclined him somewhat to the left of a straight line. He occasionally gave a smart nod, as if in confirma- tion of some opinion, though he was not thinking of anything in particu- lar.

From her own experience and observation have come these charming pictures of Japanese and Korean life, needs, customs, scenery, strung like pearls on the thread of a narrative which happily blends humour, romance, and information down to the good old happy-ever-after ending. But surely that is not the end of Jane. Unless we have wholly misinterpreted the character of that capri­ cious, fascinating, and irrepressible young woman, she will be heard from again.
