George Manville Fenn's 'In Honour's Cause: A Tale of the Days of George the First' is a compelling historical fiction novel set during the reign of George the First. The book delves into the political intrigues and social customs of the era, painting a vivid picture of life in 18th century England. Fenn's literary style is characterized by detailed descriptions, rich character development, and an intricate plot that keeps readers engaged from beginning to end. The book is a fine example of historical fiction that offers both entertainment and educational value. Fenn's meticulous research and attention to detail make 'In Honour's Cause' a valuable contribution to the genre. George Manville Fenn, a prolific Victorian author, wrote over 150 books during his career. His deep interest in history and culture is evident in 'In Honour's Cause', where he brings the past to life with his impeccable storytelling. Fenn's background as a schoolmaster and journalist provided him with the knowledge and skills necessary to craft a compelling historical narrative that appeals to readers of all ages. I highly recommend 'In Honour's Cause: A Tale of the Days of George the First' to anyone interested in historical fiction or 18th century British history. Fenn's masterful storytelling and rich historical detail make this novel a must-read for fans of the genre.

Back in print for the first time in decades, Auden’s National Book Award–winning poetry collection, in a critical edition that introduces it to a new generation of readers The Shield of Achilles, which won the National Book Award in 1956, may well be W. H. Auden’s most important, intricately designed, and unified book of poetry. In addition to its famous title poem, which reimagines Achilles’s shield for the modern age, when war and heroism have changed beyond recognition, the book also includes two sequences—“Bucolics” and “Horae Canonicae”—that Auden believed to be among his most significant work. Featuring an authoritative text and an introduction and notes by Alan Jacobs, this volume brings Auden’s collection back into print for the first time in decades and offers the only critical edition of the work. As Jacobs writes in the introduction, Auden’s collection “is the boldest and most intellectually assured work of his career, an achievement that has not been sufficiently acknowledged.” Describing the book’s formal qualities and careful structure, Jacobs shows why The Shield of Achilles should be seen as one of Auden’s most central poetic statements—a richly imaginative, beautifully envisioned account of what it means to live, as human beings do, simultaneously in nature and in history.
