A bright, witty beacon from the early nineteenth century, Calamities And Quarrels Of Authors resurrects a London literary scene that thrums with sharp tongues and sharper pens. This essay collection once whispered through publishing houses and club rooms now returns under Alpha Editions' care, offering a sprightly tour of literary satire, quarrels among authors, and the publishers' ritual of scrambling for reputations. Disraeli gathers a panorama of gossip, praise, sniping, and candid observation, turning the act of writing into a lively drama. The volume moves beyond mere sketching of character to illuminate the mechanisms of the era-how lines were drafted, reputations built, and obituaries drafted in ink and rumour alike. It is both a mirror for readers who delight in the craft and a handbook for students of literature, rich with themes of collaboration, rivalry, and the anatomy of a literary career. Historically significant as a window into the early nineteenth century and the bustling London literary scene, this edition will appeal to classic literature readers and literature students alike. It is not simply a reprint but a complete illustrated edition that respects a collector's instincts and the scholarly eye. Out of print for decades, republished by Alpha Editions, restored for today's and future generations, this volume is a true cultural treasure-an anthology for bibliophiles and a cherished resource for anyone who loves the art and mischief of letters.
