Extractions: George Orwell S The Cloister and the Hearth as a school holiday task. It is his bad luck to be remembered by this particular book, rather as Mark Twain, thanks to the films, is chiefly remembered by . Reade wrote several dull books, and The Cloister and the Hearth is one of them. But he also wrote three novels which I personally would back to outlive the entire works of Meredith and George Eliot, besides some brilliant long-short stories such as A Jack of All Trades and The Autobiography of a Thief Exchange and Mart My own favourite has always been Foul Play , which as it happens is not an attack on anything in particular. Like most nineteenth-century novels Foul Play Coral Island possessed between them. (A telescope, six yards of whipcord, a penknife, a brass ring and a piece of hoop iron.) Even a dismal book like Robinson Crusoe The hero of Foul Play Foul Play Hard Cash and It Is Never Too Late to Mend Foul Play , he mentions that he is a scholar and a cricketer and only thirdly and almost casually adds that he is a priest.

Extractions: The love of love," he hitched his chair about, and started in on his leader for the day. I ought not to omit from the list of these favorites an author who was then beginning to have his greatest vogue, and who somehow just missed of being a very great one. We were all reading his jaunty, nervy, knowing books, and some of us were questioning whether we ought not to set him above Thackeray and Dickens and George Eliot, `tulli quanti`, so great was the effect that Charles Reade had with our generation. He was a man who stood at the parting of the ways between realism and romanticism, and if he had been somewhat more of a man he might have been the master of a great school of English realism; but, as it was, he remained content to use the materials of realism and produce the effect of romanticism. He saw that life itself infinitely outvalued anything that could be feigned about it, but its richness seemed to corrupt him, and he had not the clear, ethical conscience which forced George Eliot to be realistic when probably her artistic prepossessions were romantic. As yet, however, there was no reasoning of the matter, and Charles Reade was writing books of tremendous adventure and exaggerated character, which he prided himself on deriving from the facts of the world around him. He was intoxicated with the discovery he had made that the truth was beyond invention, but he did not know what to do with the truth in art after he had found it in life, and to this day the English mostly do not. We young people were easily taken with his glittering error, and we read him with much the same fury, that he wrote. `Never Too Late to Mend;` `Love Me Little, Love Me Long;` `Christie Johnstone;` `Peg Woffington;` and then, later, `Hard Cash,` `The Cloister and the Hearth,` `Foul Play,` `Put Yourself in His Place`how much they all meant once, or seemed to mean!

READE, CHARLES
reade, charles (18141884), English novelist and dramatist, the son of an Oxfordshire squire, was born at Ipsden, Oxfordshire, on the 8th of June 1814
http://80.1911encyclopedia.org/R/RE/READE_CHARLES.htm

Extractions: READE, CHARLES (1814-1884), English novelist and dramatist, the son of an Oxfordshire squire, was born at Ipsden, Oxfordshire, on the 8th of June 1814. He entered Magdalen College, Oxford, proceeded B.A. in 1835, and became a fellow of his college. He was subsequently dean of arts, and vice-president of Magdalen College, taking his degree of D.C.L. in 1847. His name was entered at Lincoln's Inn in 1836; he was elected Vinerian Fellow in 1842, and was called to the bar in 1843. He kept his fellowship at Magdalen all his life, but after taking his degree he spent the greater part of his time in London. He began his literary career as a dramatist, and it was his own wish that the word "dramatist" should stand-first in the description of his occupations on his tombstone. He was dramatist first and novelist afterwards, not merely chrono- ogically but in his aims as an author, always having an eye to stage-effect in scene and situation as well as in dialogue. His irst comedy, The Ladies' Battle, appeared at the Olympic Theatre in May 1851. It was followed by Angela (1851), A Village Tale (1852), The Lost Husband (1852), and Gold (1853). But Reade's reputation was made by the two-act comedy, Masks and Faces, in which he collaborated with Tom Taylor. !t was produced in November 1852, and later was expanded nto three acts. By the advice of the actress, Laura Seymour, turned the play into a prose story which appeared in 1853 as Peg Woffington. He followed this up in the same year with 'hristie Johnstone, a close study of Scottish fisher folk, an extraordinary tour de force for the son of an English squire, whether we consider the dialect or the skill with which he enters nto alien habits of thought. In 1854 he produced, in conjunction with Tom Taylor, Two Loves and a Life, and The King's Rival', and, unaided, The Courier of Lyonswell known under its later title, The Lyons Mailand Peregrine Pickle. [n the next year appeared Art, afterwards known as Nance Oldfield.

Extractions: Hard Cash Genre Novel Keywords History of Medicine Hospitalization Institutionalization Medical Ethics ... Society Summary Reade was known for writing "novels with a cause." Here, as in several other of his novels, his cause is the deplorable condition of mental hospitals in the early to mid-nineteenth century. Until late in the century, many considered the mentally ill untreatable. Hospitals were more like prisons than places for treatment. Admission policies were also fairly lax. Reade records a common fear that healthy people would be incarcerated. In Hard Cash, a father incarcerates his son in order to cover up a crime. The doctors who admit him have a kickback scheme worked out with the hospitalthey get money for each patient admitted. Once in the hospital, the hero tries to prove his sanity but finds it impossible to battle against doctors who refuse to look past the diagnosis that caused his admission to his actual mental condition. He also must negotiate with the head of the hospital, a woman who is madly in love with him and refuses to allow him out of her sight.

Extractions: A wife is essential to great longevity; she is the receptacle of half a man's cares, and two-thirds of his ill-humor. Sow an act and you reap a habit./ Sow a habit and you reap a character./ Sow a character and you reap a destiny. The joys we expect are not so bright, nor the troubles so dark as we fancy they will be. Make 'em laugh; make 'em cry; make 'em wait.
