Book Description
The humorous works of Ernest Bramah were as popular as the contemporary tales of Jerome K. Jerome and W. W. Jacobs, while Bramah’s detective stories were published beside the Sherlock Holmes stories and his politico-science fiction was often compared with the works of H. G. Wells. Bramah was a literary recluse, yet his innovative Kai Lung and Max Carrados stories continue to foster interest in this otherwise neglected Edwardian author. This comprehensive eBook presents Bramah’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts appearing in digital print for the first time, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Book Description
The interwar English playwright Noël Coward is best known for his highly polished comedies of manners, including the enduring masterpieces ‘The Vortex’, ‘Hay Fever’, ‘Present Laughter’ and ‘Blithe Spirit’. His plays caught the clipped speech and brittle disillusion of the generation that emerged from the Great War, while his popular songs and revues struck the world-weary note of his times. An indefatigable genius, he performed almost every function in the theatre, including producing, directing, dancing, singing and acting, as well as directing motion pictures. This eBook presents Coward’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) Please note: some later plays, fiction and autobiographies cannot appear due to US copyright restrictions.

Book Description
The French dramatist and poet Alfred de Musset was a prominent figure of the Romantic Movement, who had come under the influence of Charles Nodier, Alfred de Vigny and Victor Hugo from an early age. He became a dandy and embarked on a life of hectic sexual and alcoholic dissipation, as vividly narrated in his notorious novel ‘The Confession of a Child of the Century’. His works capture the essence of his times, when traditional values were under attack and many were ruled by their emotions rather than reason. This eBook presents Musset’s complete translated works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Book Description
The celebrated Renaissance chronicler Raphael Holinshed produced a comprehensive history of the British Isles in collaboration with several others. The ‘Chronicles’ was compiled uncritically from many sources of varying degrees of trustworthiness. It provided a valuable repertory of historical information that was not readily available to the majority of Tudor readers. The Elizabethan dramatists drew heavily from Holinshed’s pages, which in turn helped change the course of English literature. This eBook presents Holinshed’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, a concise introduction and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Holinshed’s life and works * Concise introduction to the text * All of the Chronicles, based on Sir Henry Ellis’ 1807 text * Excellent formatting of the texts * Easily locate the chapters you want to read with contents tables * Features a bonus biography * A special hyperlinked ‘Glossary of Elizabethan Language’ to aid your studies * Ordering of texts into genres CONTENTS: The English Chronicles Brief Introduction to Raphael Holinshed An Historical Description of the Island of Britain The History of England from the Time that It was First Inhabited The History of England after the Conquest The Scottish Chronicles The Description of Scotland The History of Scotland The Annals of Scotland The Irish Chronicles The Description of Ireland The First Inhabitation of Ireland The Irish History The Process of Irish Affairs A Continuation of the Chronicles of Ireland The Supply of this Irish Chronicle The Biography Raphael Holinshed (1900) by Sidney Lee Glossary of Elizabethan Language
