Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from David Dumps: Or, the Budget of Blunders; A Tale Dramatists are apt to suppose the scene of a tragedy must of necessity be placed in a palace or a senate-house, and that the hero, if not actually heir to a crowned head, must be one of the blood-royal, or a noble of the highest rank. This is quite a mistake; for the "domestic tragedy" comes much more home to the feelings, because the adventures and sufferings of the actors are such as it might by chance be our own lot to encounter. Romance-writers are also fond of the tower and the turret, the terrace and the tapestried chamber; and the hero walks forth in cloth of gold and a plumed cap, while the heroine sits in her bower, in white satin, with strings of pearls round her alabaster neck. Novel-writers are worse than all. High life is their only sphere, and we must imagine that we sit in the chambers of the aristocracy, fragrant with all manner of exotics, and shaded with rose-coloured curtains, "Whilst we are told how a duchess Conversed with her cousin the earl!" We have nothing of the kind to offer to the reader in the following pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
