Description:Curiosities of Literary History is a series that takes the reader on an informal and fascinating ramble down little-known byways and back roads of language, literature, books, and authors. The series avoids the big-picture view of literature and authors found in textbooks, focusing instead on what Isaac D’Israeli called “the drama of literary life.” In this volume we learn that Mark Twain, in addition to being an exceptionally talented writer, was also an extraordinarily gifted swearer. We further consider Edward John Trelawny’s claim that the drowning of his friend Percy Bysshe Shelley off the coast of Italy in 1822 was not an accident, but a case of murder. And we look at some of the strangest books that have ever been produced. They include books taller than the average person and books smaller than postage stamps, one so small that it must be read with an electron microscope. Volumes from centuries past have been bound in a wide variety of unusual materials, even human skin. These are just a few of the adventures encountered in Mark Twain and the Art of With Other Curiosities of Literary History.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
