This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WE are not surprised to learn that Mr. Stanley Weyman's brilliant historical romance, A Gentleman of France, although only published, so to speak, the other day, has already won the honour of a popular edition. The revival of the historical novel is not the least significant fact amongst the literary characteristics of the period. Educated people are beginning to turn away with a. weariness which is not untouched with disgust, from the morbid analysis of character and motive, the parade of doubt in religion and morals, and the loose and cynical society talk, which make up so much of modern sensa- tional fiction. We have had enough, and more than enough, of the revolt of the daughters before marriage, as well as of the discussion of their subsequent disillusionment. It is a relief to pass from such books with their bitter atmosphere, crude and vulgar audacity of statement, and diseased vanity, to that charmed realm in which history repeats herself, and borrows a few plumes for her adornment from the fairy realm of romance.

Book excerpt: Stanley John Weyman (7 August 1855 - 10 April 1928) was an English novelist sometimes referred to as the "Prince of Romance." Weyman (pronounced "why-man") was born at Ludlow, Shropshire. The second son of a solicitor, he was educated at Shrewsbury School, and at Christ Church, Oxford. He took his degree in modern history in 1877, and was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1881, joining the Oxford circuit. He practised as a barrister for eight years until, in 1889, he wrote his first novel entitled The House of the Wolf. This was followed over the following two decades by the novels which were to make his reputation, among them historical romances set amidst the turmoil of 16th and 17th century France. (His entire output is discussed in the annotated bibliography included in the external links below.) He became a great traveller, sometimes in company with his fellow bestselling novelist Henry Seton Merriman. While for years his historical romances enchanted thousands of readers - Robert Louis Stevenson and Oscar Wilde were among the enthusiasts - but today his books are largely neglected.

Book Synopsis The Historical Romance by : Helen Hughes
Download or read book The Historical Romance written by Helen Hughes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historical Romance explores the ways in which romance authors seek to represent our fantasies of life in the past. Examining how the cut-and-thrust swashbucklers of the 1930s gave way to female-orientated romances, Helen Hughes takes a comprehensive look at how romance authors have dealt with the turbulent question of female independence, and how traditional attitudes towards love, marriage and women's sexuality have been approached in more recent texts. Hughes also charts the ways in which the marketing of romance has developed, with the eventual explosion of the mass market and the blockbusting family sagas of the eighties. The Historical Romance unravels the formulaic and mythical nature of historical romance to provide a fascinating study of this highly popular genre.
