Sinopse

A House to Let presents an exquisite blend of Gothic intrigue, sentimental exploration, and social critique, marking its place in the rich tradition of Victorian literature. This collection encompasses a tapestry of narrative styles, from the atmospheric suspense reminiscent of Wilkie Collins to the emotional depth typical of Elizabeth Gaskell, weaving together a coherent and compelling whole. The main theme of transient living spaces reflects broader societal concerns of identity, belonging, and the mysteries that homes conceal. Providing a window into the everyday intricacies and the extraordinary events behind closed doors, the standout pieces in this anthology engage readers with a vivid portrayal of 19th-century life. The collective brilliance of Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Wilkie Collins, and Adelaide Anne Procter enriches this anthology through their varied literary strengths and insights. As luminaries of the Victorian era, these authors have significantly influenced the literary landscape with their distinct voices and storytelling prowess. Rooted in the socio-cultural backdrop of Victorian England, these works collectively echo the era's fascination with social reform, domestic realism, and the exploration of the human psyche. Their contributions provide multifaceted perspectives on societal norms and challenges, offering a holistic glimpse into the past's complex narrative landscape. Readers are invited to explore these diverse narratives, which fuse the literary vigor of their time with timeless human questions. A House to Let offers both an intellectually engaging journey and a pleasure of storytelling that bridges the past with the present. By delving into this collection, one gains not only insight into the differing narrative voices and concerns of these literary icons but also an understanding of the larger dialogue on human experience they artistically navigate. This anthology is an invaluable resource for those seeking to deepen their appreciation of Victorian literature and its enduring legacy.

    The Top 10 – Born in London – An Introduction 
     
    The teeming metropolis of London has a long history of innovation. Amongst its most gilded are the literary talents of its world-famous authors.  From Anthony Trollope and Daniel Defoe to Mary Shelley and Virginia Woolf and many others, have come iconic works that still to this day underpin our culture. 
     
    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.
