US scholars of literature explore how illustrated books became a cultural form of great importance in England and Scotland from the 1830s and 1840s to the end of the century. Some of them consider particular authors or editions, but others look at general themes such as illustrations of time, maps and metaphors, literal illustration, and city scenes.

All three historical romance novels in Simone Beaudelaire's 'The Victorians' series, now available in one volume! Keeping Katerina: The 1840s is a time of increasing social awareness, particularly for progressive cotton mill owner Adrian Bennett and his son Christopher. But one social issue Christopher has never considered much is violence against women. A chance encounter with Katerina Valentino changes everything, as Christopher becomes entranced by the delicate, dark-haired beauty. But is Christopher's tender affection enough to help Katerina heal her broken spirit? Devin's Dilemma: Brighton, England, 1856. For young solicitor Devin Bennett, building his career is his foremost goal. The last thing he expects is Harry: an intense, intelligent and interesting girl Devin can't stop dreaming about. But Harry is hiding something from him, something that might tear them apart and whisk her off to the far side of the world. From the sea-swept beauty of Brighton to exotic Bombay, the Bennett family saga continues in another tale of love beyond the limits of injustice. Colin's Conundrum: Colin Butler is in deep trouble. Years of hard work and frugal living have finally failed, leaving his estate on the brink of disaster. A last-ditch effort to stay out of prison finds him walking the long road to London. Meanwhile, Daisy Grainger - an innkeeper’s daughter in a small town - is looking for a comfortable life away from the man her father has been trying to convince her to marry. When the two meet, instant attraction turns to complications, as a series of misunderstandings leaves the couple married, consummated and trapped. Can Colin and Daisy work together to bring hope in the darkest of situations, or will the unlikely couple meet a rocky end?

During the Victorian age, British collectors were among the most active, passionate, and eccentric in the world. This book tells the stories of some of the 19th century's most intriguing collectors, following their perilous journeys across the globe in the hunt for rare and beautiful objects. From art connoisseur John Charles Robinson, to the aristocratic scholar Charlotte Schreiber, who ransacked Europe for treasure, and from London's fashionable Pre-Raphaelite circle, to pioneering Orientalists in Beijing, Jacqueline Yallop plunges us into the cut-throat world of the Victorian mania for collecting.

For many book collectors, the Victorian period has always held a special fascination. These books were frequently illustrated by artists of immense talent, cased in exquisite bindings, and printed directly from wood blocks engraved by master craftsmen. One of this century's greatest collection of such books, formed by Robin de Beaumont, was recently donated to the British Museum. Victorian Illustrated Books is one of the few volumes devoted exclusively to this fascinating period. Containing a checklist of all 366 books and one hundred illustrations, drawings, and preliminary sketches, it presents a fully illustrated commentary on a collection of books that is outstanding for both its condition and the range of materials it holds. Here are children's books, secular and religious texts, novels, and gift books. The list of artists whose work is represented reads like a "Who's Who" of Victorian art: Edward Burne-Jones, Frederic Leighton, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, and Arthur Boyd Houghton, as well as some of the finer later artists, such as Whistler, Sandys, and Shields. In addition, eight splendid bindings have been reproduced in full color. As the book demonstrates, the de Beaumont is arguably the most distinguished collection of such books ever assembled. And in this comprehensive and beautifully designed catalogue, collectors and institutions will finally have a reference work that is equal to the indisputable quality of the materials it so authoritatively discusses.
