Amaryllis at the Fair: A Novel
Paperback
(Forgotten Books May 4, 2017)
Excerpt from Amaryllis at the Fair: A NovelWell, Amaryllis at the Fair is a fictitious prose narrative professing to give a picture of real life, and involving a plot of little intricacy. Certainly it exhibits the passions and sentiments in a state of great activity. But Mr. Henry Salt, whose little book on Jefi'eries is the best yet published, further remarks: J efferies was quite unable to give any vivid dramatic life to his stories his instinct was that of the naturalist who observes and moralizes rather than that of the novelist who penetrates and interprets; and consequently his rustic characters, though strongly and 'clearly drawn, do not live, as, for example, those of Thomas Hardy live. Men and animals are alike mere figures in his landscapes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
