Dashing Diamond Dick and Other Classic Dime Novels
Author: VariousPublisher: Penguin

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
A one-of-a-kind compendium of popular fiction from a bygone era Dime novels, as fundamentally American as baseball and jazz, were an inexpensive and inexhaustible source of popular entertainment for millions of Americans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The five novels in this unique anthology are classic examples of the form, which encompassed Westerns, early science fiction, detective and mystery yarns, and Revolutionary War historicals. From the handsome gambler "Dashing Diamond Dick" and the daring inventor in "Over the Andes with Frank Reade, Jr., in His New Air-Ship" to the mythic baseball player in "Frank Merriwell's Finish," here are some of the most valiant heroes and notorious rogues in the pantheon. Read together, these novels are fascinating time capsules from a young nation in love with its larger-than-life characters. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Book Description
In 'Frank Merriwell at Yale; Or, Freshman Against Freshman' by Burt L. Standish, readers are immersed in a thrilling tale of college life, sportsmanship, and competition. Written in a descriptive and engaging style, the book captures the literary context of early 20th-century adventure novels while also exploring themes of teamwork and personal growth. Standish's attention to detail and character development keeps readers invested in the story till the very end. The depiction of intense rivalries and unexpected camaraderie among the freshmen adds depth to the narrative, making it a riveting read for fans of coming-of-age stories and sports fiction alike. Burt L. Standish, a pseudonym for American author Gilbert Patten, drew from his own experiences as a former athlete and journalist to create the iconic character of Frank Merriwell. His passion for storytelling and commitment to inspiring young readers is evident throughout the series. I highly recommend 'Frank Merriwell at Yale' to anyone seeking an entertaining and thought-provoking read that celebrates the values of sportsmanship and friendship.
Vic and Sade on the Radio
Author: John T. HetheringtonPublisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476616051
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Vic and Sade, an often absurd situation comedy written by the prolific Paul Rhymer, aired on America's radios from 1932 to 1944 (with short-lived revivals afterward). The title characters, known as "radio's home folks," were a married couple exploring the comedic side of ordinary life along with their adopted son and an eccentric uncle. This book examines the program's depiction of many aspects of American culture--leisure activities, community groups, education, films--in light of the critiques put forward by the era's critics such as William Orton. Vic and Sade offered its own subtle cultural critique that reflected how ordinary people experienced mass culture of the time.
