Summary

Dive into the "Regency Romance Collection," an exquisite anthology that explores the dazzling world of romance through a tapestry of styles, themes, and literary contexts from the Regency period and beyond. This collection brings together luminaries whose works encapsulate the complexities of love and societal expectations in a nuanced and often satirical manner. Spanning narratives of romantic intrigue, moral examination, and societal critique, the anthology invites readers into an era where storytelling was as much about the heart as it was about societal decorum. Among the myriad of narratives, readers will find pieces that highlight not just the flirtation with convention but the innovative spirit of romance writing itself. Editors have curated an enticing selection of authors whose backgrounds and literary contributions have shaped and defined the romance genre. With contributors like the introspective Jane Austen and the pioneering Mary Wollstonecraft, who introduces feminist discourse to the narrative, the anthology reflects a confluence of voices from distinct literary arenas. Each author brings a unique perspective, with some like Thackeray and Richardson echoing the changing tides of literary form and narrative sophistication from motion pictures to novel traditions, aligned with the historical phases of the Enlightenment and Romanticism. "Regency Romance Collection" is an essential compilation that offers an enriching journey through love's many facets. It is a treasure for those eager to traverse the sweeping vistas of Regency fiction, providing an opportunity to experience the breadth of perspectives, styles, and motifs encapsulated in this rare array of narratives. Both a portal into an era and a reflection on timeless themes, the anthology promotes a dialogue among its diverse authors, offering readers not only romance but insight into the societal norms and cultural transitions that shaped these classic stories. This collection is a veritable resource for both students and enthusiasts of the genre alike.

    Literature is a world of words and wonder, able to take us on almost unimaginable journeys from the wild and fantastic to the grind and minutiae of life. 
 
An author’s ideas are his building blocks, his architecture of the mind, building a structure on which all else will rest; the narrative, the characters, the words - those few words that begin the adventure. 
 
In this series we look at some of our leading classic authors across two genres: the short story and the poem.  In this modern world there is an insatiable need to categorise and pigeon-hole everyone and everything.  But ideas, these grains and saplings of the brain, need to roam, to explore and find their perfect literary use vehicle.  Our authors are masters of many literary forms, perhaps known for one but themselves favouring another. 
 
Story. Poems. Story.  Within these boundaries come all manner of invention and cast of characters.  And, of course, each author has their own way of revealing their own chapter and verse.

    Art and life. Each the mirror of the other.  This then is the classic definition of what ‘Realism’ as a writing form really is.  Some might call it a fancy term for the mundane day to day pursuits but in the hands of an author it comes alive.  We are drawn into characters and landscapes that we can empathize with, we can, metaphorically speaking, help shoulder their burden, be on the long trail with them whatever the landscapes, the hurdles, incidents and other people may place in their literary way.  
 
In this volume such luminaries as Jack London, Kate Chopin, O Henry, Bret Harte and many others bring their talents to this remarkable volume.

    An original anthology celebrating Rod Serling's landmark television series featuring stories by Whitley Strieber, R. L. Stine, Laura Lippman, and others.When it first aired in 1959, The Twilight Zone was nothing less than groundbreaking television. Freed from much of the censors' strict oversight because of the show's classification as “science fiction,” the 156 filmed episodes explored powerful and moving human themes—love, hate, pride, jealousy, terror—in their own unique style. The show has since inspired two revivals, as well as fiction, comic books, and magazines, and even a pinball game and theme park rides. Just as important, it sparked the imaginations of countless writers, filmmakers, and fans around the world, and is considered a seminal show for broadening the horizons of television.This anthology is an all-new collection of stories written in the vein of the original television show. Edited and introduced by Carol Serling, it includes brand-new stories by science fiction and fantasy luminaries such as Whitley Strieber, Loren D. Estleman, Joe Lansdale, R. L. Stine, Timothy Zahn, and Peter S. Beagle, as well as writers from the original series, Earl Hamner and Harlan Ellison, all in honor of Rod's incredible vision.
