England -- Social life and customs
'A very powerful piece of work.... The conception is magnificent, and
is likely to win an abiding place within the memory of man.... The
author has immense command of language, and a limitless audacity....
This interesting and remarkable romance will live long after much
of the ephemeral literature of the day is forgotten.... A literary
phenomenon ... novel, and even sublime.'--W. T. STEAD in the _Review
of Reviews_.
Anthony Hope's Novels
_Crown_ 8_vo._ 6_s._ _each._
THE GOD IN THE CAR. _Seventh Edition._
'A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible
within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial; well considered,
but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that
conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom fine
literary method is a keen pleasure.'--_The World._
A CHANGE OF AIR. _Fifth Edition._
'A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to human nature. The characters
are traced with a masterly hand.'--_Times._
A MAN OF MARK. _Fourth Edition._
'Of all Mr. Hope's books, "A Man of Mark" is the one which best
compares with "The Prisoner of Zenda."'--_National Observer._
THE CHRONICLES OF COUNT ANTONIO. _Third Edition._
'It is a perfectly enchanting story of love and chivalry, and pure
romance. The Count is the most constant, desperate, and modest and
tender of lovers, a peerless gentleman, an intrepid fighter, a
faithful friend, and a magnanimous foe.'--_Guardian._
PHROSO. Illustrated by H. R. Millar. _Third Edition_.
'The tale is thoroughly fresh, quick with vitality, stirring the
blood, and humorously, dashingly told.'--_St. James's Gazette._
'A story of adventure, every page of which is palpitating with
action.'--_Speaker._
'From cover to cover "Phroso" not only engages the attention, but
carries the reader in little whirls of delight from adventure to
adventure.'--_Academy._
SIMON DALE. By ANTHONY HOPE. Illustrated. _Third Edition._ _Crown_
8_vo._ 6_s._
'"Simon Dale" is one of the best historical romances that have been
written for a long while.'--_St. James's Gazette._
'A bright and gallant story.'--_Graphic._
'A brilliant novel. The story is rapid and most excellently told. As
for the hero, he is a perfect hero of romance--he is brave, witty,
adventurous, and a good lover.'--_Athenæum._
'There is searching analysis of human nature, with a most ingeniously
constructed plot. Mr. Hope has drawn the contrasts of his women with
marvellous subtlety and delicacy. This love-story of 200 years ago
makes the man and the woman live again.'--_Times._
=S. Baring Gould's Novels=
_Crown_ 8_vo._ 6_s._ _each._
'To say that a book is by the author of "Mehalah" is to imply that
it contains a story cast on strong lines, containing dramatic
possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descriptions of Nature, and a
wealth of ingenious imagery.'--_Speaker._
