ACKROYD, PETER.

Dickens.

HarperCollins Publishers, New York: 1990. Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition. In his magisterial Dickens the celebrated novelist and biographer Peter Ackroyd brings alive as never before the best-loved writer in the English language - the consummate artist and entertainer, the man whose radiance gave little hint of the darkness of his private life, the storyteller whose characters have become cherished and familiar friends to generations of readers. Based upon an extensive examination of original sources, and animated throughout by the historical imagination Ackroyd displays in all his work, Dickens is a biography in which the true figure of Charles Dickens and the moving spirit of his age are for the first time faithfully combined.

The Trial Of Elizabeth Cree: A Novel Of The Limehouse Murders.

Doubleday and Company, Inc., New York: 1995. Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition. In the autumn of 1880, a series of brutal murders shakes the impoverished London neighborhood of Limehouse. As the merchants, immigrants and prostitutes of Limehouse panic, the murders attract the attention of three remarkable men of the times: Karl Marx in his twilight, always under suspicion for being a foreigner, a Jew, and a radical; George Gissing, the struggling author who would go on to write that great indictment of London's pinchpenny publishing world, New Grub Street; and Don Leno, the legendary star of the music hall and the precursor of Charlie Chaplin. As the police investigate, the popular press claims the killings are the work of a golem - a savage creature of Jewish folklore. In the winter, a sensational trial captures the public's attention. Elizabeth Cree - Lambeth Marsh Lizzie of Leno's troupe - stamds accused of murdering her devoted husband. But, unbeknownst to all, behind the notoriety of the murder and the drama of the trial, the shocking truth behind the Limehouse Golem lies hidden. Peter Ackroyd's fiendishly clever skill at mixing fact and fiction into an addictivetale has never been more powerful,and his depiction of Victorian London is so authentic as to make us think that we too inhabit the gaslit streets of Limehouse.

Albion : The Origins of the English Imagination / By Peter Ackroyd

New York : Nan A. Talese 2003. 1st American Edition. No. of pages: 524. Description: xxx. 524 p. 8 p. of plates : ill. (some col.) ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. [489]-499) and index. Subjects: National characteristics. English --English literature --History and criticism --Arts. English --England --Civilization. Summary: Peter Ackroyd follows his acclaimed London: The Biography with a book that once again plumbs the history of England and uncovers the continuities that link past and present. A dazzling. highly original exploration of English culture from its roots in the Anglo-Saxon period to the present day. ALBION demonstrates that a quintessentially English quality imbues every form of cultural expression—not just literature. but also painting. music. architecture. philosophy. and science. In an intricate. expertly crafted mixture of narrative and theme. Ackroyd travels through time and across cultural categories as he seeks out the roots and the essence of the English imagination. With an irrepressible curiosity and contagious enthusiasm. he moves from Beowulf to Virginia Woolf. Hogarth to Hockney. Purcell to Vaughan Williams. Inigo Jones to Edward Lutyens. His lively biographical sketches and incisive exegeses of the work of figures both well known and less familiar deepen our understanding and appreciation of our inherited culture. Like London: The Biography. Albion contains unexpected treasures. including a thought-provoking look at immigration and assimilation and a delightful digression into the English obsession with gardening. Black-and-white photographs and drawings. and two lavish four-color inserts add visual appeal throughout. Ackroyd’s talent for distilling information and presenting it with novelistic flair shines on every page of Albion. It is Peter Ackroyd at his most brilliant and exuberant. 0385497725.
