[ Rosley Books for Antiquarian Literature, Art, Theology and History. ] William Black (November 13, 1841 - December 10, 1898) 'was a novelist born in Glasgow, Scotland to James Black and his second wife Caroline Conning. As a writer he became celebrated for the detailed and atmospheric descriptions of landscapes and seascapes in novels such as 'White Wings: A Yachting Romance' (1880). At the age of twenty-three he went to London, and later on he wrote a weekly serial in "The Graphic". In the Austro-Prussian War he acted as a war correspondent. His first novel, 'James Merle' appeared in 1864. It was the publication of 'A Daughter of Heth' in 1871 that at once established his popularity. It tells the story of a young girl brought up in Catholic France, who comes to live with her more austere Protestant relatives in southern Scotland, and ends in personal tragedy. In his own lifetime Black's novels were immensely popular and widely read, and were compared favourably with those of Anthony Trollope.' **Will be well-packed for posting/shipping**. Sm.8vo.
