Beschreibung

The anthology 'The Greatest Historical Romance Novels of All Time' offers an enchanting exploration of romantic fiction, transcending eras and geographic boundaries. This collection masterfully wields the complexities of love across various historical contexts, from the penetrating psychological landscapes of Henry James to the dramatic and emotive prose of the Brontë sisters. The range of literary styles, from Jane Austen's satirical wit to Alexandre Dumas' swashbuckling adventures, highlights the fluidity of romantic fiction, allowing readers to traverse expansive realms of human emotion and historical intricacies. Classics such as the reflections on societal constraints are poised alongside narratives that celebrate individual passion and resilience, creating a kaleidoscope of love stories. Composed by some of the most illustrious figures in literature, this anthology presents a detailed study of romance's evolution. Works from authors like Leo Tolstoy and Edith Wharton channel Europe's expansive cultural history, while Jane Austen's and Thomas Hardy's tales capture poignant English landscapes. The inclusion of writers like Mary Wollstonecraft and Eliza Haywood heralds the subversive energies of early feminist literature, articulating evolving narratives of female agency. The collection is enriched by voices from historical movements such as Romanticism, Realism, and the Gothic, underscoring a shared literary heritage that persists in shaping our understanding of love today. A testament to storytelling's enduring power, this anthology is an indispensable resource for readers and scholars alike. It provides a uniquely immersive opportunity to experience a multifaceted dialogue across space, time, and cultural mores. Whether a neophyte to historical romance or a seasoned devotee, readers will find themselves captivated by the anthology's blend of timeless romance and penetrating insights into human nature.

    INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS:
    In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy.
    Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. 
     
    Elizabeth Ogilvie sailed on the maiden voyage of the S.S Viking with rather mixed feelings. It was not that her job, as assistant purser, was likely to set her any problems; nor was she worried at having to keep secret the fact that she was virtually related to the Chairman of the shipping line, who was also on board — travelling incognito, for reasons of his own. What had been so upsetting for Elizabeth was to discover, at the last moment, that the Captain of the ship was to be Hugh Anson, with whom she had once been in love. But although Elizabeth did not know it, there were others on board with even bigger reasons for treating the Captain with hostility. Altogether it looked like being anything but a peaceful voyage!
