Twayne s English Authors Series Series Editors: Frank Day, Clemson University Joseph M. Flora, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Pattie Cowell, Colorado State University Ruth K. MacDonald A volume in Twayne s Authors Series of literary criticism offers a critical introduction to the life and work of a particular writer, to the history and influence of a literary movement, or to the development of a literary genre. Primarily devoted to critical interpretation and discussion of an author s work, the study not only takes account of major literary trends and important contributions in scholarship and criticism but also provides new critical insights and an original point of view. Authors Series volumes are rooted in the original works themselves and address readers ranging from advanced high school students to university professors. The book suggests to the informed reader new ways of considering a writer s work. A reader new to the work under examination will, after reading the Authors Series study, be compelled to turn to the originals, bringing to the reading a basic knowledge and fresh critical perspectives. John Davys Beresford, a prolific and innovative writer, was heralded in his time for his intelligence and imagination and was considered a leading novelist of his generation. Beresford was the author of 49 novels, five collection of short stories, nine autobiographical and miscellaneous books, and dozens of shorter pieces. Johnson has addressed this voluminous body of work by genre, devoting a chapter to each of the major genres Beresford explored including psychologically realistic psychoanalytic and mystical novels, scientific romance and speculative fiction. Johnson s examination of Beresford s life benefits from his access to Beresford s unpublished autobiography, the memoir of Beresford s oldest son, Tristam, and Beresford s correspondence with his literary friends. The introduction of these materials, which have only recently been made available, allows for the most comprehensive study of Beresford s life and work to date.
