In Praise of Gentlemen
by Henry Dwight SedgwickIT is the thesis of this charmingly written book that with the passing of the idea of being a gentleman purely for the sake of being a gentleman something worthwhile has been lost to civilization. Neither democracies nor dictatorships are friendly to the gentleman.-NYTimes.“IT is over a hundred years since the last of the Waverley Novels was written, and the mere name of those famous books, which swept down from Edinburgh over England, France, Germany, and Italy, and stirred their generation to wild enthusiasm, helps us to realize the revolution that has metamorphosed social ideas and usages since then. Some of these novels still maintain a foremost place in English literature, and yet the present generation holds them cheap; it reads Rob Roy and The Heart of Midlothian, if at all, as monuments in literary history. And this is due less to a change in literary taste than to the revolution in social usages and ideas. The young generation derides Scott’s admiration for high rank in the social hierarchy as snobbery, it calls his loyalties prejudices, it denounces his moral delicacy as puritanical prudery; it measures them by its own standards, its own usages, its own ideas, and finds them wanting. It would be idle to speculate whether their standards or those of Sir Walter are more conducive to general happiness. In any event, the change is historically interesting and has its place in the story of civilization.”-Introduction.

In Pursuit of Spenser: Mystery Writers on Robert B. Parker and the Creation of an American Hero
by Lawrence Block Ace AtkinsWhen Robert B. Parker passed in early 2010, the world lost two great men: Parker himself, iconic American crime writer whose books have sold more than 6 million copies worldwide, and his best-known creation, Spenser. Parker's Spenser series not only influenced the work of countless of today's writers, but is also credited with reviving and forever changing the genre. In Pursuit of Spenser offers a look at Parker and to Spenser through the eyes of the writers he influenced. Editor Otto Penzler-- proprietor of one of the oldest and largest mystery specialist bookstores in the country, New York's The Mysterious Bookshop, and renowned mystery fiction editor whose credits include series editor for the Best American Crime Writing and Best American Mystery Stories, among many others (and about whom Parker himself once wrote, "Otto Penzler knows more about crime fiction than most people know about anything")-- collects some of today's bestselling mystery authors to discuss Parker, his characters, the series, and their impact on the world. From Hawk to Susan Silverman to Jesse Stone and Sunny Randall, from the series' Boston milieu to Parker's own take on his character, In Pursuit of Spenser pays tribute to Spenser, and Parker, with affection, humor, and a deep appreciation for what both have left behind.
