Book Description
Excerpt from Heroines of Fiction, Vol. 2 HE interest felt in the novels of the Broute sisters was from the first intensely personal, and it grew more and more personal, as the veil was lifted from their pathetic lives, and the close relation between what they had written and what they had been was seen. In the average unliterary mind the relation between the author and his work is always a thing to be taken for granted. He is identified with this or that person in the fiction, and if the reader of average unliterary mind has the chance of speaking to him about his story, he will say, There, where the girl comes to you, and you tell her, or the like. Sometimes this is amusing, and sometimes it is dismaying; in any case it is useless for the author to protest; and it is not very good busi ness for him to do so. The average unliterary reader loves him and his work, according as he finds him per sonally in it, or believes he finds him.

Book Description
Excerpt from Olive, Vol. 1 of 2: A Novel Such was the first greeting ever received by my heroine, Olive Rothesay. However, she would be then entitled neither a heroine nor even Olive Rothesay, being a small nameless concretion of humanity, in colour and consistency strongly resembling the red earth, whence was taken the father of all nations. NO fore shadowing of the coming life brightened her purple pinched-up, withered face, which, as in all new-born children, bore such a ridiculous likeness to extreme old age. NO tone of the all-expressive human voice thrilled through the unconscious wail that was her first utter ance, and in her wide-open meaningless eyes had never dawned the beautiful human soul. There she lay, as you and I, reader, with all our compeers, lay once a helpless lump of breathing flesh, faintly stirred by animal life, and scarce at all by that inner life which we call spirit. And, if we thus look back, half in compassion, half in humiliation, at our infantile. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Rose, Blanche, and Violet, Vol. 1 of 3 IT was a sultry day in July, and the sun was pouring down from a cloudless heaven intense rays upon the High-street of The heat made the place a desert; more indeed of a desert than even High-streets of country towns usually are. There was a burnt Odour in the atmosphere, arising from the scorched pavement, and rayed forth from the garish brick houses. Silence and noon-day heat reigned over the scene. The deep stillness was brought out into stronger relief by the occasional bark of a dog, or rumbling Of a solitary cart.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Young Countess, Vol. 1: A Tale for Youth Whoever in perusing the following pages, expects to find more than the title page announces, will certainly be disappointed. It is literally a simple Tale for the use of Young Persons, that I now offer to the Public. Here are no striking adventures, no regularly constructed story, no powerful delineation of character. All that I have endeavoured to attain, is the exemplification of one truth: namely, that from Religion alone, pure morality, the government of the heart and the temper - and even the perfection of manners, can be derived.

Book Description
Excerpt from Juliet's Lovers, Vol. 1 of 3 After playing comparatively trivial parts for two or three years, she came to the great opportunity which arrives in the life of every genius. A manager recognised her merit, and gave her an Opening in London in Shakespearian drama. This was absolutely her metier; in life and on the stage she was cut out for a Shakespearian heroine. First she played Beatrice, and won the town with her smiles; then Rosa lind, and captivated it with her grace; then she was given the final, the sublime opportunity! She played Juliet; and Lon don succumbed to her youth, her beauty, her divine genius, her tragic, emotional atmosphere. But she only played it on the stage for a week; then she deserted the footlights to play the same part in private life.
