The humorous works of Ernest Bramah were as popular as the contemporary tales of Jerome K. Jerome and W. W. Jacobs, while Bramah’s detective stories were published beside the Sherlock Holmes stories and his politico-science fiction was often compared with the works of H. G. Wells.

The twelfth century chronicler Geoffrey of Monmouth was the author of one of the most famous and influential works of the Middle Ages. ‘History of the Kings of Britain’ brought the figures of Arthur and Merlin into European literature, ensuring a popularity that continues to this day. It relates the purported history of Britain, from its first settlement by Brutus of Troy to the death of Cadwaladr in the seventh century. It also covers Caesar’s invasions of Britain, Kings Leir and Cymbeline and one of the earliest developed narratives of the fabled King Arthur. Denounced from the first by sober historians, this fictional history still exerted an enormous influence on the course of English literature. Delphi’s Medieval Library provides eReaders with rare and precious works of the Middle Ages, with noted English translations and the original texts.

One of the great exponents of the late Pre-Raphaelite style, Edward Burne-Jones produced romantic paintings noted for their medieval imagery and mythological settings, impassioned with pure and variegated colour.

The French dramatist and poet Alfred de Musset was a prominent figure of the Romantic Movement, who had come under the influence of Charles Nodier, Alfred de Vigny and Victor Hugo from an early age. He became a dandy and embarked on a life of hectic sexual and alcoholic dissipation, as vividly narrated in his notorious novel ‘The Confession of a Child of the Century’. His works capture the essence of his times, when traditional values were under attack and many were ruled by their emotions rather than reason.

The ‘Chronicles’ was compiled uncritically from many sources of varying degrees of trustworthiness.

The Elizabethan dramatists drew heavily from Holinshed’s pages, which in turn helped change the course of English literature.

The interwar English playwright Noël Coward is best known for his highly polished comedies of manners, including the enduring masterpieces ‘The Vortex’, ‘Hay Fever’, ‘Present Laughter’ and ‘Blithe Spirit’. His plays caught the clipped speech and brittle disillusion of the generation that emerged from the Great War, while his popular songs and revues struck the world-weary note of his times. An indefatigable genius, he performed almost every function in the theatre, including producing, directing, dancing, singing and acting, as well as directing motion pictures.
