Octavo, tan cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, viii + 185 pp. Very Good+, with former-owner bookplate and small signature; in a Very Good+ dust jacket with cello tape attached to its flaps. From dust jacket: Although overshadowed by his better known brother Charles, Henry Kingsley has his own place in the history of Victorian literature. Born in 1830, he wrote seventeen novels, two collections of essays, and numerous short stories before he died in 1876. In addition, he prospected for gold in Australia, served with the Sidney Mounted Police, and covered the Franco-Prussian War as a correspondent for the Edinburgh Daily Review. Not only were his novels reviewed by the major Victorian journals and purchased by the powerful Mudie Lending Library, but he counted among his friends Swinburne, Lewis Carroll, Leslie Stephen, Thomas Huxley, Matthew Arnold, and George Meredith. Yet for all his literary productivity, his romantic adventures, and his nineteenth-century popularity, Henry Kingsley, for the most part, is little regarded today. In Australia, he is still honored for his two novels that utilized an Australian setting, but elsewhere only his novel Ravenshoe receives occasional attention. This perceptive study of Kingsley examines the complex reasons for his artistic decline and loss of popularity. By discussing chronologically the novelist in terms of his life, his works, and the relationship between them, the author of The Neglected Brother relates a story of a man who loved life and romantically longed for adventures but who was afflicted by insecurity which was partly brought on by his competition with a very successful older brother, by poverty, by a deteriorating artistic imagination, and finally, by a fatal cancer.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The work argues that the ascendency of croquet as a popular sport in England during the middle to late nineteenth century was a direct result of class. He traces the history of the sport and finds that it was one of if not the first sport that men and women could enjoy together. The game initially had an elite social status attached to it: it was first seen as a game suitable for the British gentry, especially for those families whose estates had extensive lawns, or for families wealthy enough to join croquet clubs. It attracted many people because it had a certain 'snob' appeal and formed as an upper class leisure time activity, and developed with the middle class due to their rising number at that time.
