They knew, too, how he had, under the name of "Frank Forester," produced such books as American Game in its Season, The Horse and Horsemanship in North America, and become famous by novel-writing. He was the first to introduce sports of the field into fiction in America.
Disraeli or as Lord Beaconsfield, novel-writing was always a "by-work" partly a means to his real end of politics, partly a relaxation from the work necessary to that end.
Forth from all the recesses of the air came troops of Gothic elves, trolls, fairies, sprites, and all the other romantic beings which had inspired the modern mind to novel-writing, marching or gambolling, pride in their port, defiance in their eye, mischief in their purpose, and began so vigorous an attack upon their classic visitors and critics, that the latter were glad to betake themselves to the mighty-winged Pegasus, who rapidly bore them in retreat to the present home of the Dii Majores, that point of the empyrean directly above Olympus.
She had begun to make amateur essays in novel-writing, but was as dissatisfied with them as with the compositions of her childhood, and with a religious novelette she had produced whilst in the convent, and speedily committed to the flames.
"All through the ages men have been learning from women and refusing to acknowledge it." "In which sphere?" "In every sphere." "Particularize." "Take novel-writing. Men sneer at the woman-novelist say that she cannot draw a man to the life." "It's largely true." "What's the reason? Because one can't draw to any satisfaction without models to base on.

No editor would accept them; but he continued to practise himself in that art, and by degrees came to fancy that, after all, perhaps he had some talent for fiction. It was significant, however, that no native impulse had directed him to novel-writing.
Yet though the aptitude of women for novel-writing was thus early exemplified, it is not to be supposed that the majority of persons who felt the new influences were of that sex. By far the larger number of those who crowded to follow the Four were, like them, men. That not exactly credit to the Tory party, Dr.
The wretched sale of my first two had acted as something of a check to my enthusiasm for novel-writing. I had paused to take stock of my position. My first two novels had, I found on re-reading them, too much of the 'Varsity tone in them to be popular. That is the mistake a man falls into through being at Cambridge or Oxford. He fancies unconsciously that the world is peopled with undergraduates.
