Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from By Chelsea Reach: Some Riverside Records Of the half-dozen papers dealing with Chelsea people and places which this volume comprises, it can only be said that they follow, more or less, the lines -discursive and reminiscent - of those in my previous Chelsea books. Paradise Raw, In Cheyne Walk, and The Wonderful Village, readers of which will therefore know what and equally what not - to expect from them. With the exception of the story of Cremorne Gardens, which may perhaps recall the days (or rather nights) of their youth to some for whom those days and nights are getting dreadfully distant, these pages deal with people more than with places, and especially with literary folk, of whom Chelsea has housed such a remarkable galaxy, as the list I have included in an Appendix will bear witness. But whether these rambling visitations be to More´s study or Donne´s seclusion in Danvers House, to Swift´s poor lodging or Smollett´s Sunday garden parties, to Leigh Hunt´s tinkerdom or Carlyle´s ill-starred garret, to Fanny Bumey´s attic or Sir Hans Sloanes Manor House Museum, to Rossetti´s studio or Henry James´ flat, it is always from the angle of their immediate surroundings and the local association of their work that the attempt has been made to visualise and to recall them.
