A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dramatists are apt to suppose the scene of a tragedymust of necessity be placed in a palace or a senatehouse, and that the hero, if not actually heir to a crowned head, must be one of the blood-royal, or a noble of the highest rank. This is quite a mistake; for the domestic tragedy comes much more home to the feelings, because the adventures and suflerings of the actors arc such as it might by chance be our own lot to encounter. Romance-writers are also fond of the tower and the turret, the terrace and the tapestried chamber; and the hero walks forth in cloth of gold and a plumed cap, while the heroine sits in her bower, in white satin, with strings of pearls round her alabaster neck. Novel-writers are worse than all. High life is their only sphere, atd we must imagine that we sit in the chambers of the aristocracy, fragrant witli all manner of exotics, and shadl with rose-coloured curtains, Whilst we are I q, how a ducliess Conversed with hw cousin the earl 1W ehave nothing of the kind i offer to the reader in the following pages.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
