	Burr (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Burr: A Novel is a 1973 historical novel by Gore Vidal.
		The novel's portrait of Jefferson is especially dark; he is painted in Burr's memory as a pedantic hypocrite who schemed and bribed witnesses to support a false charge of treason after Burr almost defeated the Virginian in the Presidential election.
		Many other incidents in the novel are verifiable in the historical record, including Jefferson owning (and probably fathering) slaves, James Wilkinson serving as a double agent for Spain, Alexander Hamilton being challenged to duels by opponents who felt slandered by him, and Burr's trial and acquittal on charges of treason.

	1876 (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gore Vidal's 1876 was published in 1976 and details the events of a year described by Vidal himself as "probably the low point in our republic's history."
		In 1876 the U.S. presidential election was a close run contest between the Democratic candidate, Samuel J. Tilden, and the Republican Rutherford Hayes.
		Vidal builds up to this historic crisis through the activities of a mixed cast of historical and fictional characters, many of the latter having previously appeared in Burr, or having descended from characters in that novel.

	Amazon.ca: 1876: a Novel: Books: Gore Vidal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In the afterword of "1876," a novel about the centennial written in the bicentennial, Gore Vidal calls the portentous year "probably the low point in our republic's history" and warns us that history repeats itself in the most interesting ways.
		"1876" is as much a polemic as a novel; Vidal is never ambiguous about his opinions on what he believes to be debacles in the American political arena, and his tone, delivered here through the voice of Schuyler, is clear as a bell and sharp as a tack.
		"1876" is about a nebulous (at least for me) period of the US history and, as always, Vidal, with his sarcasm, good prose and refined research, delivers another accurately historic fiction.

		Although written nearly thirty years ago, Gore Vidal's "1876" is a classic, elegant examination of American political corruption which remains quite relevant today, especially in light of the 2000 presidential election.
		The novel is narrated by Charlie Schuyler (who apparently narrated Vidal's earlier novel Burr, one which I have not yet read), as he returns to the United States, after spending many years in Europe, in late 1875 with his 30-something, widowed daughter Emma.
		That later portions of the novel are largely political, with the recounting of the shocking, to read them now, events surrounding the presidential election of 1876.

		The "big steal" of 1876 has been largely glossed over in history textbooks, and thus the vast majority of Americans are not even aware, or only dimly so, that it ever happened.
		The novel is set in the first half of the year 1908, when Montenegro was an independent principality of some 3500 square miles, less than half the size of New Hampshire.
		In the "Montenegro" novel, St. Sava intervenes in June 1908, in the shape of a violent earthquake to punish the Austrian perpetrators of crimes against the Montenegrins.

	Mary Elizabeth Braddon
		English novelist, daughter of Henry Braddon, solicitor, of Skirdon Lodge, Cornwall, and sister of Sir Edward Braddon, prime minister of Tasmania, was born in London in 1837.
		She began at an early age to contribute to periodicals, and in 1861 produced her first novel, The Trail of the Serpent.
		They give, indeed, the great body of readers of fiction exactly what they require; melodramatic in plot and character, conventional in their views of life, they are yet distinguished by constructive skill and opulence of invention.

	Mark Twain - Wikipedia
		Also popular are The Prince and the Pauper, A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court[?] and the non-fictional Life on the Mississippi[?].
		His 1876 novel titled 1601[?] was banned from publication on the grounds it was obscene.
		Twain began as a writer of light humorous verse; he ended as a grim, almost profane chronicler of the vanities, hypocrisies and acts of killing committed by mankind.

		A well-written tale in the tradition of the author's Burr and 1876, it encompasses the Spanish-American War of 1898, U.S. takeover of the Philippines, President McKinley's assassination, and the stormy presidency of Theodore Roosevelt.
		Instead, we are treated to an hilarious novel of the manners of the ruling class, as defined by wealth and pedigree.
		The novel is seen through the eyes of three characters: one who actually existed, William McKinnley's and Theodore Roosevelt's Secretary of State John Hay; and the other two made up are purely fictious, the aristocratic half-siblings Caroline and Blaise Sanford.

	Israel and Daniel Deronda Hudson Review, The - Find Articles
		Published in parts between 1873 and 1876, the novel not only anticipates the creation of the state of Israel some seventyfive years later, it also supplies a vocabulary with which to talk about Israel's situation as it has evolved into the present.
		In an essay on the novel that has been anthologized with his political writings, Said points out how Eliot ignores the Arab people on the land that her hero goes off to settle and connects this to an imperialist ideology that, he says, renders invisible everything that falls outside of it.
		Yet for all that Said constructs a powerful case against the novel, I suspect his heart is not entirely in it.

	Amardeep Singh: "Fear presides over these memories": Philip Roth's The Plot Against America
		I won't give away the ending of Roth's novel (indeed, I'll ignore it), but suffice it to say that one of the most intriguing subtleties of The Plot Against America is the ominous change in American society that doesn't quite amount to fascism.
		It is most intense in the latter chapters of the novel in the long dialogues between the devout Mordecai and the novel's eponymous hero, who only discovers that he's of Jewish descent after having been raised as an "English" (Christian) gentleman.
		When one is embarrassed by being recognized as a member of a stigmatized group, the fear and humiliation is oriented to the scrutiny of the presumably Christian master, not to the stigmatized group itself.

	Louisa May Alcott
		In 1860 she began writing for the Atlantic Monthly, and she was nurse in the Union Hospital at Georgetown, D.C., for six weeks in 1862-1863.
		Her home letters, revised and published, in the Commonwealth and collected as Hospital Sketches (1863, re-published with additions in 1869), displayed some power of observation and record; and Moods, a novel (1864), despite its uncertainty of method and of touch, gave considerable promise.
		She soon turned, however, to the rapid production of stories for girls, and, with the exception of the cheery tale entitled Work (1873), and the anonymous novelette A Modern Mephistopheles (1877), which attracted little notice, she did not return to the more ambitious fields of the novelist.

		The first portion of the novel takes place in New York City and reads very much like an Edith Wharton novel: it is all balls and social events, etc., but told with Charlie's relentless cynicism and wonderful sense of humor.
		1876 is a stylish and thought-provoking book that functions well as both political commentary and character-driven novel.
		Charles Schuyler returns to the U.S. with his daughter Emma with the duel intentions of marrying her off to an eligible bachelor and finding himself means to regenerate his meager funds.

		This novel, to me is very even-handed, looking carefully at each side of the conflicts from multiple points of view while telling a series of interesting stories, most based on actual events of the time.
		Many of same historical events are seen from a variety of perspectives in the two novels, providing a unique opportunity better understand them in a realatively easy reading format.

		from 1876, a novel about American politics, media and manners in the age of America's centennial.
		The novel 1876, written in 1976, in part covers the controversial presidential election that marred our nation's centennial year--an election ultimately decided by a congressional electoral commission, echoes of which were heard by those who know history in the scandalously corrupt 2000 presidential election.
		Admittedly, the Electoral College--that ridiculous invention of the founders--can be manipulated to some degree but not sufficiently at this late hour to cheat the people of what they have so overwhelmingly voted for: the Tilden Administration.

		If the early Zionist movement seems an unlikely topic for a Victorian novel, Eliot (“Middlemarch,” “Silas Marner”) was an unlikely Victorian novelist.

		Only in her final novel, in 1876, did George Eliot turn to contemporary English and European life as material for the expression of her own idealism.
		Daniel Deronda is a psychologically incisive investigation, probing the egoism of a spoiled girl and her increasing awareness of conscience through suffering.
		Gwendolen comes to regard Daniel as her moral and spiritual mentor, but chance, the revelation of his Jewish birth, and his practical and sympathetic identification with his race draw him away from her.

	Daniel Deronda DVD Review
		George Eliot's accomplished but underrated last novel is effectively, often stirringly, adapted for this 2002 BBC production, which was scripted by old pro Andrew Davies (Middlemarch) and directed with wit and subtlety by Tom Hooper (Cold Feet).
		Set in the 1870s, Eliot's story concerns two strong-willed young people whose self-determination is under attack by legal constraints on their rights to an inheritance.
		George Eliot's Daniel Deronda tells the story of Daniel (Hugh Dancy), an honorable young man who believes himself to be the illegitimate son of an aristocrat.
