Holland House
A history and physical description of the Kensington residence, which was built in 1605 and acquired in 1767 by Henry Fox, the first Baron Holland (1705-1774); in the late eighteenth century, Holland House became a center of social, literary, and political events, with visitors including Jeremy Bentham, Thomas Moore, Sir Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, and Benjamin Disraeli. The text describes various rooms in the house, in addition to the art and some of its antiquities, books, and manuscripts.
Mark Twain's Literary Resources
Dr. Alan Gribben, a foremost Twain scholar, made waves in 1980 with the publication of Mark Twain's Library, a study that exposed for the first time the breadth of Twain's reading and influences. Prior to Gribben's work, much of Twain's reading history was assumed lost, but through dogged searching Gribben was able to source much of Twain's library. Mark Twain's Literary Resources is a much-expanded examination of Twain's library and readings. Volume I included Gribben's reflections on the work involved in cataloging Twain's reading and analysis of Twain's influences and opinions. This volume, long awaited, is an in-depth and comprehensive accounting of Twain's literary history. Each work read or owned by Twain is listed, along with information pertaining to editions, locations, and more. Gribben also includes scholarly annotations that explain the significance of many works, making this volume of Mark Twain's Literary Resources one of the most important additions to our understanding of America's greatest author.
