Produktbeschreibung
Popular American essayist, novelist, and journalist CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER (1829-1900) was renowned for the warmth and intimacy of his writing, which encompassed travelogue, biography and autobiography, fiction, and more, and influenced entire generations of his fellow writers. Here, the prolific writer turned editor for his final grand work, a splendid survey of global literature, classic and modern, and it's not too much to suggest that if his friend and colleague Mark Twain-who stole Warner's quip about how "everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"-had assembled this set, it would still be hailed today as one of the great achievements of the book world. Highlights from Volume 38 include: . the poetry of Paul Verlane . the verse of François Villon . the philosophy of Voltaire . the arts criticism of Richard Wagner . the science writings of Alfred Russel Wallace . the letters of Horace Walpole . the speeches of George Washington . the writings of Daniel Webster . and much, much more.

Autorenporträt
Charles Dudley Warner (1829-1900) was an American essayist, novelist, and editor known for his wit and insightful social commentary. He was born in Plainfield, Massachusetts, and graduated from Hamilton College in 1851 before studying law at the University of Pennsylvania. Warner practiced law briefly but soon turned to journalism and writing, where he found his true calling. Some of his notable works include: My Summer in a Garden (1870): A humorous and reflective account of his experiences gardening, which also includes commentary on various social issues. Backlog Studies (1872): A collection of essays reflecting on everyday life. On Horseback (1888): A travel narrative of his journey through the Southern United States. Warner was also a prominent editor, serving as the co-editor of the Hartford Courant and later contributing to and editing the American Men of Letters series and Library of the World's Best Literature. At the time of his death, he was working on a biography of his friend, the artist Frederic Edwin Church. Warner's writing is characterized by its humor, insight, and elegant prose, and he remains an important figure in 19th-century American literature.
