As this dynamic biography reveals, the writer Ernest William Hornung (1866-1921) became a household name in the 1890s. Peter Rowland's superb literary biography traces Hornung's rise to fame and fortune, as the writer deftly turned his hand to comedy, romance, and drama.
Australia's Birdwatching Megaspots

This fully illustrated guide describes over 60 of the best sites for viewing both common and rare species. Organised by state, detailed descriptions of each site cover the type of terrain and specific spots at which certain species are likely to be encountered. A fact file for each site details how to get there; facilities; nearby services and accommodation. Key species for each site are also listed.
So far as it goes, Goddesses Three is an absorbing study of the Pontifex family, and (ultimately) of Anglo-Portuguese relations. E. W. Hornung apparently began writing this book in 1894 but put it aside after completing eleven chapters. Set primarily in an English Rectory, it is very much a work in progress, written partly in pencil and partly in ink, and incorporating a vast number of revisions. In addition to deciphering 99% of the manuscript, and producing an edited text for the general reader, the editor has examined it on a chapter-by-chapter basis. This results in a fuller notion of how the story was being shaped and the occasional problems encountered - and pinpoints Hornung's consequent changes and instructions to himself. We are, as it were, looking over his shoulder for the whole time, and gain (as a result) a fascinating insight into how a Victorian novel took shape.
Stingaree's adventures have long delighted thousands of readers. He is a stylish bushranger, his English origins cloaked in mystery, who operates in New South Wales. He is, after Raffles, the most famous character that E. W. Hornung (1866-1921) ever created. Virtually unknown, however, is the fact that twelve years after the original stories appeared Hornung started to write a fresh batch of tales, relating Stingaree's subsequent history. For various reasons, the project was abandoned but the batch of stories that he completed are now brought together in book-form for the very first time. Peter Rowland is a well-known historian and biographer. He recently transcribed and edited two of Hornung's unfinished novels, His Brother's Blood and The Graven Image, and compiled a fresh collection of Hornung short stories, Tall Tales and short'uns. A revised and much-expanded edition of his 1999 biography of Hornung will appear shortly. (For more information, see www.peterrowland.org.uk).
Peter Rowland, a one-time local government officer, is a well-known historian and biographer and occasional writer of fiction. More information will be found on www.peter.rowland.org.uk . Some reactions to Lloyd George (1975) "Competent and complete." - The Times "The best biography we have." - The Economist "Has far surpassed earlier biographers...comprehensive, scholarly and readable."- Irish Independent "An outsize account of an outsize figure." - The New Yorker "A narrative style that scarcely ever limps. There is great energy and purpose with Mr Rowland as our guide." - The Political Quarterly "Not a word of it is dull." - Oxford Mail "A great improvement on its predecessors... A substantial work of political biography." - A. J. P. Taylor, The Observer "Well written and workmanlike - the result of massive research." - Lord Boothby, Books and Bookmen "It will be a long while before it is replaced." - Robert Blake, The Sunday Times
Two major Dickens studies, each of them breaking fresh ground, vie for attention in this absorbing volume. The first explores the extent to which Charles Dickens inherited the mantle of Charles Lamb; the second explores the strained relationship between Dickens, the leading novelist of the day, and T. B. Macaulay, the leading historian of the day.
Lanoe Falconer (nom de plume of Mary Elizabeth Hawker) was one of England s most accomplished young writers in the 1890s; her novel Mademoiselle Ixe a bestseller and an international hit. Her short stories and novels were compared favourably to Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell among others. Her promising career was cut short by chronic illness. Peter Rowland began his research by discovering a large mass of Falconer’s unpublished material including personal documents. He took this trove as a starting point to reconstruct and review Falconer s work after almost a century of neglect. Falconer left a small enduring body of work and the author has included several of her short stories in this study to introduce researchers and other readers to the literary quality, power and scope of the unobtrusive Miss Hawker.
