Hall Caine: Portrait of a Victorian Romancer

Customer Reviews

Hall Caine a forgotten giant - By: , 15 Aug 2002
A fascinating account of the life of this once internationallly renowned novelist & former secretary to Pre-Raphaelite D.G. Rossetti. It traces the beginnings of Caine's life in Liverpool, his links to the Isle of Man & the rise of his star as an aspiring author. This book has been meticulously researched with useful appendices & black & white illustrations as well as references to Caine's own writings, his correspondences & the words & writings of his contemporaries. This book is not a dry academic study of the life of a forgotten novelist. Instead it paints a vivid picture of Caine's involvement with the artistic, dramatic & literary life of the latter half of the nineteenth century until the early twentieth. Those interested in aspects of this period will find it a useful resource as well as an informative well written read.
