The Man Charles Dickens: A Victorian Portrait by Edward Wagenknecht


Charles Dickens is one of Britain’s best loved authors.
But who was the man behind The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist?

Edward Wagenknecht’s widely acclaimed “psychograph” of Charles Dickens answers those questions.

First published in 1929 by Houghton Mifflin. revised edition 1966 University of Oklahoma Press

The Dickens who emerges is a man of many parts — author, husband, father, editor, social reformer, businessman, and, last but not least, a man who was a man regardless of the criteria used to judge him.
The completed portrait is that of genius, its varied interests, its abounding energy, and its achievements.

“As The Man Charles Dickens leaves my typewriter for the second time,” says the author, “it says what I now wish to say about its subject as well as I am able to say it … Nor can I say good-bye to Dickens a second time without recording my present judgment that he is the greatest man I have ever worked on.”

“Must” reading for all students of English literature, the book will interest anyone who reads Dickens as well.

Edward Wagenknecht is the author of more than twenty other books. Among them are Dickens and the Scandalmongers, Mark Twain: The Man and His Work (revised edition), The Movies in the Age of Innocence, Chicago, and Seven Daughters of the Theater, all published by the University of Oklahoma Press.

As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride by Cary Elwes
$1.99
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IWTWOI2/

Quote:
From actor Cary Elwes, who played the iconic role of Westley in The Princess Bride, comes the New York Times bestselling account and behind-the-scenes look at the making of the cult classic film filled with never-before-told stories, exclusive photographs, and interviews with costars Robin Wright, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest, and Mandy Patinkin, as well as author and screenwriter William Goldman, producer Norman Lear, and director Rob Reiner.

The Princess Bride has been a family favorite for close to three decades. Ranked by the American Film Institute as one of the top 100 Greatest Love Stories and by the Writers Guild of America as one of the top 100 screenplays of all time, The Princess Bride will continue to resonate with audiences for years to come.

Cary Elwes was inspired to share his memories and give fans an unprecedented look into the creation of the film while participating in the twenty-fifth anniversary cast reunion. In As You Wish he has created an enchanting experience; in addition to never-before seen photos and interviews with his fellow cast mates, there are plenty of set secrets and backstage stories.

With a foreword by Rob Reiner and a limited edition original poster by acclaimed artist Shepard Fairey, As You Wish is a must-have for all fans of this beloved film.

D-Day: The Battle for Normandy - 99p at Amazon UK

Antony Beevor's D-Day: The Battle for Normandy is currently 99p at Amazon UK, and you can add the audio book for an extra £2.99 (normally £20.99) if you buy the Kindle book.

When I checked, it was still full price at other vendors, and it appeared to be full price at Amazon.com.

X-link to the DRM-free thread for some new bundles:

Humble Book Bundle Work It Out presented by Callisto Media features a selection of DIY health and fitness self-help titles (both physical yoga and strength training, and mental mindfulness/anxiety stuff), plus accompanying nutritional and cookbooks (mostly paleo) from the eponymous publisher who's been the spotlight of two previous HB offerings.

Humble Book Bundle Python presented by Packt contains a selection of DIY computer programming books and videos focused on that language by the eponymous publisher, who've been quite generous about giving us a free daily book for the past couple of years. There's also a discount coupon for their Mapt subscription online library service at the $1 tier.

Building the American Republic Vol 1 & 2 free
http://press.uchicago.edu/sites/buil...lic/index.html

"Building the American Republic" Volumes 1 & 2.

According to the website:

"Building the American Republic is an engaging and accessible two-volume narrative history of the United States, that is suitable for introductory college and advanced high school courses.

The first volume, A Narrative History to 1877, runs from pre-Colonialism to the Civil War and Reconstruction. The second, A Narrative History from 1877, carries the story through the 2016 election. Taking a deliberately multifaceted and inclusive stance, the authors tell a stimulating story that will lead to a deeper understanding of America’s past and present."

Investigating the Body in the Victorian Asylum: Doctors, Patients, and Practices (Mental Health in Historical Perspective) 1st ed. 2017 Edition,
by Jennifer Wallis

This book explores how the body was investigated in the late nineteenth-century asylum in Britain. As more and more Victorian asylum doctors looked to the bodily fabric to reveal the ‘truth’ of mental disease, a whole host of techniques and technologies were brought to bear upon the patient's body. These practices encompassed the clinical and the pathological, from testing the patient's reflexes to dissecting the brain.

The work takes a unique approach to the topic, conducting a chapter-by-chapter dissection of the body. It considers how asylum doctors viewed and investigated the skin, muscles, bones, brain, and bodily fluids. The book demonstrates the importance of the body in nineteenth-century psychiatry as well as how the asylum functioned as a site of research,

_The British In India: Gallant Deeds In The Reign Of Queen Victoria_.

Hard to find ebook. Not available at Amazon, _et al._

Today's WarGameVault's DOD. 75 cents today, 80% off of the regular price of $4.99.

"A compilation of WHG Kingston's writings on British actions in India during the reign of Queen Victoria.
This PDF gathers together Kingston's articles written for two volumes that charted the wars and campaigns fought by Great Britain in various parts of the world.
Details
The PDF contains:
-- Five pages for the cover and legalese, a short biography of WHG Kingston and the table of contents (with active links to each section of the text).
-- Eighteen articles describing and discussing particular actions, campaigns and wars fought by the British Army in India.
-- Each of the five major sections is preceded by a title page illustrated with an image or map appropriate to the subject."

Note: this is a _watermarked_ PDF.

I think that WarGameVault's DOD's extend beyond 12 midnight Eastern Time.

http://www.wargamevault.com/m/product/196113.

My posting of this ebook is not intended to be a political statement, to endorse (or repudiate) colonialism by any country, either in the past or present.
