Delphi Complete Works of George du Maurier (Illustrated)


Book Description

The caricaturist George du Maurier (grandfather of Daphne du Maurier) is celebrated for his illustrations for ‘Punch’, offering incisive and hilarious commentaries on Victorian society. Du Maurier also wrote three successful novels, including the hugely popular ‘Trilby’, recounting the story of a poor artist's model transformed into a diva under the spell of Svengali, an evil musical genius.

Delphi Complete Works of George Washington Cable (Illustrated)


Book Description

George Washington Cable was an American author and reformer, noted for his stories dealing with Creole life in his native New Orleans. His early novels sought to recapture the picturesque times of the old French-Spanish city, while employing a realism that was new to Southern fiction. His works are characterised by freshness and charm, with a force of moral conviction. Although Cable was the son of slaveholders and fought in the Confederate cavalry, he saw slavery and attempts to deny freedmen full public rights as moral wrongs. He produced powerful essays and lectures, urging the cause of black rights in the face of violent abuse in the Southern press. Now regarded as the most important Southern writer of the late nineteenth century, Cable and his work would pave the way for the achievements of William Faulkner.
