Great Britain: Oxford University Press, 1996. Paperback. Is Healthcliff a Murderer? Puzzles in 19th-Century Fiction. Foxing to end inside covers, edge and some pages. Readers of Victorian fiction must often have tripped up on seeming anomalies, enigmas, and mysteries in their favourite novels. Does Becky kill Jos at the end of Vanity Fair? Why does no one notice that Hetty is pregnant in Adam Bede? How, exactly, does Victor Frankenstein make his monster? In Is Healthcliffe a Murderer? (well, is he?). The author investigates thirty-four conundrums of nineteenth-century fiction. Applying these 'real world' questions to fiction is not in any sense intended to catch out the novelists who are invariably cleverer than their most detectively inclined readers. Typically, one finds a reason for the seeming anomaly. Not blunders, that is, but unexpected felicites and ingenious justifications. 258 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.). 1st World's Classic Edition.

Reprint. Soft Cover. Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Paperback., Sphere, 1970, 3, London England: BBC Book Publishing, 1989. Paperback. Slight browning to edges of pages through age. 'My Grandfather', as the author explains, was something of a survival from 'the warm, gas-lit, stablre-smelling past' of Victorian London. Through his genial Pickwickian figure and his household we catch a glimpse of horse-drawn carriages, silk hats, parlourmaids and silver egg-stands - a world that has receded into history. The author's childhood memories of his grandfather paint a delightful picture of a bygone age and a genuinely old-fashioned gentleman. His characters are drawn with great affection and, sometimes with just a note of gentle amsuement, too.
