About the book
About Classic love Stories
Classic Love Stories gathers twenty tales of courtship, devotion, longing, jealousy, renunciation, and consequence by some of the finest writers of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. From L. M. Montgomery's village comedy and O. Henry's New York romances to Chekhov's late recognitions, Mansfield's sharp emotional weather, Hardy's tragic entanglement, and Wharton's poised account of modern marriage, this anthology treats love as more than sentiment. Here romance is social, comic, dangerous, self-deceiving, loyal, belated, and unforgettable. Featuring stories by L. M. Montgomery, O. Henry, Anthony Trollope, Robert Louis Stevenson, Kate Chopin, Frank R. Stockton, Bret Harte, E. Nesbit, Oscar Wilde, Katherine Mansfield, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, D. H. Lawrence, Anton Chekhov, Sarah Orne Jewett, James Joyce, Thomas Hardy, and Edith Wharton, this Kinloch House Classics edition offers a varied, unsentimental collection for readers of classic romance, literary short fiction, and period drama.
