Selected Stories of Morley Roberts by Morley Roberts

In this edition, Markus Neacey acknowledges Roberts’s special contribution to the British short story by selecting the best examples from his extensive work. With an eye for detail and an unerring skill in capturing the vernacular of the desperate characters he portrays, Roberts leads the reader into vividly-drawn masculine worlds. Whatever the setting, Roberts evokes the dangers and challenges his characters face. His remarkable imagination and willingness to experiment resulted in tales of sailors on the high seas, adventurers in the Australian bush, cowboys in the wild west, saloon society in frontier towns, tramps on the railroad, miners in the mountains of British Columbia, farmers on the South African veld, and writers in men’s clubs. In a career spanning over 50 years, Morley Roberts wrote hundreds of short stories and was one of the most successful operators in the Victorian-Edwardian literary marketplace. previous 1 2 next sort by previous 1 2 next Note: these are all the books on Goodreads for this author.
