Julius, the Street Boy


Book Description

Horatio Alger Jr. (January 13, 1832 - July 18, 1899) was an American writer, best known for his many young adult novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to lives of middle-class security and comfort through hard work, determination, courage, and honesty. His writings were characterized by the "rags-to-riches" narrative, which had a formative effect on America during the Gilded Age.




Julius, the Street Boy


Book Description

Horatio Alger, Jr., displayed sensitivity and affection for adolescent boys in both his fiction and in his personal life. His novels frequently involve an impoverished boy with a good heart who overcomes his circumstances often by gaining the attention of an older gentleman who takes him in. Other times, the boy finds a promising future among boys his own age. Alger's works were enormously popular among the public and especially among boys, who often saw themselves in the winsome young protagonists and hoped to achieve the same rags-to-riches outcome. Julius, the Street Boy is representative of Alger's work, possessing adventure, action, humility, humanity, and a great deal of laugh-out-loud humor.
