Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Works, Vol. 5 of 8 Even to those of us who were admitted to the hospitality of that drawing-room in later years its kindly and inspiring associations seemed continuous: may they long remain such! All the tales included in this volume were first published as contributions to periodical literature. "My Lady Ludlow" appeared in "Household Words" from June 19 to September 25, 1858; and in the same journal had been previously printed, "An Accursed Race" (August 25, 1855), "Half a Lifetime Ago" (October 6, 13, and 20, 1855), and "The Poor Clare" (December 13 to 27, 1855). "The Doom of the Griffiths" appeared in "Harper´s Magazine" in 1858, and "The Half-Brothers" in "The Dublin University Magazine," in November of the same year. Finally, "The Manchester Marriage" seems to have been first printed in "Littell´s Living Age," a paper published at Boston, U.S.A., in 1859. In that year all the tales included in the present volume, with the exception of "Mr. Harrison´s Confessions" and "The Manchester Marriage," were collected together by their authoress into a single volume, which was published by Messrs. Sampson Low and Co., under the title of "Round the Sofa," with the "prologue" and "links" here reprinted. The literary device of which Mrs. Gaskell thus made use has commended itself to the tellers of stories from the days of Apuleius - and no doubt from far earlier days than his - to those of Boccaccio and Chaucer; and again from theirs to the days of Charles Dickens, who worked it with a will, and perhaps rather overworked it, though both "gods" and "columns" may be trusted to provide against its extinction. In this form the tales in question have been repeatedly reprinted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
