	Sir Walter Besant - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIR WALTER BESANT (1836-1901), English author, was born at Portsmouth, on the 14th of August 1836, third son of William Besant of that town.
		Sir Walter Besant practised many branches of literary art with success, but he is most widely known for his long succession of novels, many of which have enjoyed remarkable popularity.
		Besant undertook a series of important historical and archaeological volumes, dealing with the associations and development of the various districts of London - of which the most important was A Survey of London, unfortunately left unfinished, which was intended to do for modern London what Stow did for the Elizabethan city.

		Besant's lecture at the Royal Institution--the original form of his pamphlet--appears to indicate that many persons are interested in the art of fiction and are not indifferent to such remarks as those who practise it may attempt to make about it.
		Besant has set an excellent example in saying what he thinks, for his part, about the way in which fiction should be written, as well as about the way in which it should be published; for his view of the "art," carried on into an appendix, covers that too.
		Besant demands for the work of the novelist may be represented, a trifle less abstractly, by saying that he demands not only that it shall be reputed artistic, but that it shall be reputed very artistic indeed.

		Besant, waxing exceedingly bold, goes on to oppose this so-called "art of fiction" to the "art of poetry." By the art of poetry he can mean nothing but the art of verse, an art of handicraft, and only comparable with the art of prose.

		In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries a shift in historiography took place, in which history developed into an academic discipline and profession and at the same time histories were now written for popular reading--more chronological narrative than walking tour.
		Mirroring this shift are the various histories of London, both general and specific, written by Sir Walter Besant, popular London novelist, scholar and social reformer.
		Interestingly, Besant began work on his own Survey of London, which was intended to do for modern London what Stow did for the Elizabethan city, but which was unfortunately left unfinished.

		But far as the hospitality goes, it stops short of the open-hearted, open-handed intimacy and unreserve that Besant dreamed of.
		His thoughts were not envisaged, and whether he was quite in earnest or slyly sarcastic, the reader may decide for himself.
