Heroines Of Fiction
Author: William Dean Howells
Publisher: Jazzybee Verlag
ISBN: 384965771X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
The numerous class of novel readers who for a lifetime have wandered through the fields of fiction, not premeditatedly seeking mental or moral improvement, but with a mind chiefly on “pleasure bent,” have a treat in store in 'Heroines of Fiction.' Mr. Howells does not write of his own heroines of fiction — it is the creations of the English and American novelists of times long ago who have filled an imaginative world with a galaxy of feminine loveliness and charm that he considers. The dear old friends of fiction who have become as real to us, in name and appearance, as if we and they had lived side by side in the passing years. Mr. Howells presents them to us again, recalling many endearing traits and captivating graces—looking at them also from the literary standpoint and their special relation to the story to which they belong. Mr. Howells has his favorites among novel writers, and he frankly avows his likings. Jane Austen, George Eliot and Henry James he places on a high pedestal far above their contemporaries. Second only to these is the place he awards to Thomas Hardy and Mrs. Humphry Ward. Beginning with Richardson's “Clarissa Harlowe,” he gives us loving and graceful sketches often set in a dramatic scene from the novel under discussion of the heroines of Dickens, Scott, Thackeray, Charlotte Brontë, Charles Reade, and many others.

Book Description
This novel tells the story of a London businessman John Sairson who had purchased a lodge some five years ago, after Sir George Lugard, had been found dead in the library, with a revolver in his hand. Some referred to it as suicide while others suspected homicide. However, some believe that Sir George had been badly treated. He had been robbed of his property by John Sairson in connection with some transaction. Mr. Sairson didn't come to the Grange very often. He had a wife and two daughters, and there was some speculation about a son, but no one seemed certain. One thing was certain: Mr. Sairson was involved in shady business. Then, Mr. Sairson sends a telegram telling his wife to expect a stranger, who has rented the Dower's house to inquire about a nearby property, but it turns out Cecil Lugard is no stranger at all. Mr. Sairson's daughter, Nest had previously met him in Switzerland, and their rekindled relationship terrified her mother. Is the stranger Mr. Lugard's son?
