Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Motives in English Fiction In this volume the English novelists from Sir Thomas Malory to Miss Mitford have been chronologically arranged according to the dates of the publication of their first novels; and the material presented is not only a history of English fiction, but a view of its variations in atmosphere, motivation, dialogue, and characterization. During the last ten years while reading and re-reading the English novels, from Malory to De Morgan, to determine the leading motives, distinctively English in origin, which were formative in creating the atmosphere, plot, dialogue, and characterization, of the flowering period (1833-1870) of English fiction, and which still actuate and permeate the pattern of its composition, I have been greatly impressed by the wonderful variations of that originality that reveals itself as the unity of life, of which De Quincey says: "The fleeting accidents of a man´s life, and its external shows, may indeed be irrelate and incongruous; but the organizing principles which fuse into harmony, and gather about fixed predetermined centres, whatever heterogeneous elements life may have accumulated from without, will not permit the grandeur of human unity greatly to be violated." This book shows the motives that color the threads in the warp and woof of all our fiction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
