	The Literary Gothic \| William Harrison Ainsworth
		Prolific early/mid-Victorian novelist and magazine editor/owner, early mentor to and influence upon the young Charles Dickens, and best known for his historical fiction and "Newgate novels" (sensationalized treatments of the lives and exploits of criminals, often housed in London's notorious Newgate Prison).
		While Ainsworth's fiction can be delightfully readable, with considerable energy and verve--as long as you're comfortable with structural lapses and melodrama--it is impossible to say he did much to advance the evolution of Gothic/post-Gothic literature.
		Attributed to Ainsworth, this is another variation on the "spectre bridegroom" motif.

	Boscobel or, The Royal Oak by William Harrison Ainsworth
		The true story of Charles Stuart's defeat and flight is incredibly romantic and exciting, and even Ainsworth's occasionally unnatural and stilted style can't detract from it, nor from the qualities of loyalty and bravery displayed by so many of those involved.
		While his characters are two-dimensional, and their dialogue artificial and florid, his descriptions of the fighting and skirmishes is often genuinely exciting, and the reader is carried along by Ainsworth's own enthusiasm for his story.
		Ainsworth's novels, though originally written for an adult readership, also seem to have been popular with children and Boscobel no doubt provided the material and the high-flown rhetoric for games of Roundheads and Cavaliers in many families.

		William Harrison Ainsworth, a famous English novelist and friend and associate of Charles Dickens, was born in Manchester, in 1805, and died in 1882.
		He wrote about forty novels, some of them so extremely lurid that, had they appeared in yellow paper covers, would have been classed with the "dime novels." Nevertheless, many of them are very interesting and realistic.
