The author himself, Allen Upward, was not merely a novelist but also a poet, lawyer, and political theorist, which informed his literature with a richness of perspective and a depth of legal and philosophical insights. 'Athelstane Ford' is undoubtedly influenced by Upward's multifaceted career and intellectual pursuits. His experiences and observations of the human condition breathe life into the pages of his work, offering a narrative that is as much a reflection on individuality as it is a commentary on the societal constructs of his time.

"Mr. Coombes was sick of life. He walked away from his unhappy home, and, sick not only of his own existence but of everybody else's, turned aside down Gaswork Lane to avoid the town, and, crossing the wooden bridge that goes over the canal to Starling's Cottages, was presently alone in the damp pine woods and out of sight and sound of human habitation. He would stand it no longer. He repeated aloud with blasphemies unusual to him that he would stand it no longer.

Willa Cather weaves a poignant and evocative tale of pioneer life on the Nebraska plains. In My Antonia we follow Jim Burden, a young boy who moves to Nebraska to live with his grandparents, and his close bond with Ántonia Shimerda, the spirited and resilient daughter of Bohemian immigrants. As they grow up, Jim and Ántonia experience the challenges and triumphs of life on the frontier, marked by hardship, love, loss, and the indomitable strength of the human spirit.

A cornerstone of American literature, My Ántonia captures the heart and soul of the American West while offering up a profound meditation on friendship, identity, and the land that shapes us.

"The Canterville Ghost" The first of Wilde's stories to be published, appearing in the magazine The Court and Society Review in February 1887. When a family from the United States buys Canterville Chase, they are told it is haunted by a horrible spirit, but this does not deter them in the slightest. Indeed, when they find a recurring blood stain on the floor, and hear creaking chains in the night, even seeing the ghost himself, all they do is clean up the blood and insist that the ghost oil his manacles if he is going to keep living in the house. This perturbs the ghost to no end, and he does everything he can to try to frighten the family.

Charles Dickens was a writer and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.
THE GREAT TASMANIA'S CARGO: It is in the nature of things that such an institution as our English army should have many bad and troublesome characters in it. But, this is a reason for, and not against, its being made as acceptable as possible to well-disposed men of decent behaviour.
