Cobham Brewer, LL.D.; edited by Marion Harland | Title: Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction and the Drama: A Revised American Edition of the Reader's Handbook, Volume VII (SKE. to TRO.) | Publisher and place: Selmar Hess, New York (publisher's SH device on the title page) | Edition: A Revised American Edition of the Reader's Handbook | Illustrator: Various artists; plates after Frederick Barnard, John Faed, Alexandre Cabanel, Carl Hoff, Jean Raoux, A. Bauer, Benjamin West, Edwin Long, Ephraim Keyser and others | Binding: Half leather, brown leather spine and corners with dark grained cloth boards; gilt pictorial title on the front board, gilt-tooled spine | Language: English | CONDITION | Fair, a sound reading and display copy with honest wear. The leather at the lower outer corner of the front board is torn and lifted, exposing the board beneath, and the leather at the upper corner is creased and lifting. The cloth of the front board is rubbed and stained, with a broad darkened patch across the center and lower half and a small pale mark near the head; the gilt title remains bright. The leather spine is rubbed and dry with wear at the head and tail, its gilt lettering and tooling still legible. The front board does not lie entirely flat. The title page, with its red initial, and the list of illustrations are toned but clean, and the engraved plate examined is clean and bright. | ABOUT THE BOOK | Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction and the Drama is the American revision of The Reader's Handbook by the Rev. E. Cobham Brewer, the English lexicographer best known for his Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. It is a dictionary of characters and allusions. Its alphabetical entries identify the people of novels, plays, poems, legends and operas, say where they appear and who created them, and often quote or retell the passage in which they figure, so that a reader who meets an unfamiliar name in a book can find its source. The revision for American readers was edited by Marion Harland, the pen name of the prolific American novelist and household author Mary Virginia Terhune. | This is Volume VII, which the spine labels SKE. to TRO. Its list of illustrations gives a sense of the range: Joseph Surface and Lady Teazle from Sheridan's School for Scandal, Dick Swiveller and the Marchioness and Bill Sykes from Dickens, Tam O'Shanter and the witches from Burns, Tarquin with Lucretia, Moliere's Tartuffe, Telemachus and Calypso, William Tell and Conrad Baumgarten, Thetis bringing the armor to Achilles, Thisbe, Cinq-Mars and de Thou led to execution, and Shakespeare's Titania. Each plate reproduces a painting or drawing, among them works after Frederick Barnard, John Faed, Alexandre Cabanel, Benjamin West and Edwin Long. Classical myth, the stage and the Victorian novel sit side by side, and the volume rewards browsing as much as looking up a name. | COLLECTOR AND HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE | Selmar Hess of New York first published Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction and the Drama in 1892, as a lavishly illustrated subscription work with photogravures, etchings and wood engravings, and reissued it in later years in a larger number of volumes.

Various artists; plates after Frederick Barnard, John Faed, Alexandre Cabanel, Carl Hoff, Jean Raoux, A. Bauer, Benjamin West, Edwin Long, Ephraim Keyser and others (illustrator).…
