Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LARGE PRINT EDITION. Autobiography of Sir Walter Besant (1902) is a posthumously published autobiography by Walter Besant. Although he is more widely known for his works of fiction and book-length studies of the city of London, Besant was also a gifted autobiographer whose unique sense of self and rich memories make for an entertaining, informative read. "I am supposing that [man] has the choice offered him, together with an outline of the future--not a future of fate laid down with Calvinistic rigour, but a future of possibility. And as time, past or future, does not exist in the other world, I am supposing that a man can be born in any age that he pleases." The son of a merchant, Walter Besant would combine ambition with wit to become one of Victorian England's leading intellectual figures. His autobiography is not just the portrait of a man, but a record of a century that saw empires rise and fall, industry outpace agriculture, and the life of humanity change forever, for better or worse. Unsatisfied with the success and fame he found in his literary work, Besant dedicated himself to social causes and was a true champion of the poor in London and around the world. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Walter Besant's Autobiography of Sir Walter Besant is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Autobiography of Sir Walter Besant: With a Prefatory Note by S. Squire Sprigge It is hard to speak of him within measure when we consider his devotion to the cause of authors, and the constant good service rendered by him to their material interests. In this he was a valorous, alert, persistent advocate, and it will not be denied by his opponents that he was always urbane, his Object being simply to establish a system of fair dealing between the sagacious publishers of books and the inexperienced, often heedless, producers. How unselfishly, with how pure a generosity he gave his valuable time to the previously neglected office of adviser to the more youthful of his profession, may be estimated by a review of his memorable labours in other fields. They were vast and toilsome, yet he never missed an occasion for acting as the young author's voluntary friend in the least sentimental and most sensible manner.

An autobiography should be its own justification and its own interpretation. There should be no room for a preface and no need for any intermediary between the writer and the public to whom he has designed to appeal. If it is necessary to add much to an autobiography, the author is made to appear to have suppressed things that he should have said; if any passages are deleted, the portrait of himself which he proposed to draw is rendered incomplete.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ten years' partnership of myself and my late friend Mr. James Rice has been terminated by death. I am persuaded that nothing short of death would have put an end to a partnership which was conducted throughout with perfect accord, and without the least difference of opinion. The long illness which terminated fatally on April 25th of this year began in January of last year. There were intervals during which he seemed to be recovering and gaining strength; he was, indeed, well enough in the autumn to try change of air by a visit to Holland; but he broke down again very shortly after his return: though he did not himself suspect it, he was under sentence of death, and for the last six months of his life his downward course was steady and continuous. Almost the last act of his in our partnership was the arrangement, with certain country papers and elsewhere, for the serial publication of this novel, the subject and writing of which were necessarily left entirely to myself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great English author and historian Sir Walter Besant wrote a historical fiction titled "For Faith and Freedom." Published in 1889, the novel examines themes of political intrigue, personal sacrifice, and religious persecution set in 16th-century England under the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The story revolves around Anthony Underhill, the main character, a young man of aristocratic birth who becomes a Catholic during an era when Protestantism predominates in England. The conflict between religions and the fight for religious liberty during the Elizabethan period provide a background against which the story is told. Anthony gets entangled in a number of schemes and conspiracies due to his dedication to his Catholic faith, which thrusts him into a dangerous and fascinating world. The fictional account of Anthony's political and personal challenges is interwoven with historical events, such as the Babington Plot and Mary, Queen of Scots' execution. Besant's "For Faith and Freedom" examines the decisions people make in the name of their beliefs and dives into the nuances of religious strife. The book also sheds light on Elizabethan England's social and political climate, when religious loyalty frequently meant the difference between life and death.
