There were major works such as Conrad's \u003cem\u003eLord Jim\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eNostromo\u003c\/em\u003e, Samuel Butler's \u003cem\u003eThe Way of All Flesh\u003c\/em\u003e, and D. H. Lawrence's \u003cem\u003eSons and Lovers\u003c\/em\u003e. Children's literature saw such marvelous books as Frances Hodgson Burnett's \u003cem\u003eThe Secret Garden\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eA Little Princess\u003c\/em\u003e, and there were many popular classics as well, such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's \u003cem\u003eThe Hound of the Baskervilles\u003c\/em\u003e and Baroness Orczy's \u003cem\u003eThe Scarlet Pimpernel\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e Now, in \u003cem\u003eEdwardian Fiction: An Oxford Companion\u003c\/em\u003e, readers have an illuminating guide to this remarkable but little known period, covering the literary scene in the years from 1900 to the outbreak of the First World War.

The \u003cem\u003eCompanion\u003c\/em\u003e also boasts entries on some 250 works of fiction--complete with plot outlines--including such important works as E. M. Forster's \u003cem\u003eA Room with a View\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHoward's End\u003c\/em\u003e, Henry James's \u003cem\u003eThe Golden Bowl\u003c\/em\u003e, and James Joyce's \u003cem\u003eDubliners\u003c\/em\u003e, major children's books such as \u003cem\u003eThe Wind in the Willows\u003c\/em\u003e and Kipling's \u003cem\u003eJust So Stories\u003c\/em\u003e, and bestselling volumes such as Sax Rohmer's \u003cem\u003eThe Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu\u003c\/em\u003e and G.K. Chesterton's \u003cem\u003eThe Innocence of Father Brown\u003c\/em\u003e. The \u003cem\u003eCompanion\u003c\/em\u003e also covers novels from other English-speaking countries, such as L.M. Montgomery's \u003cem\u003eAnne of Green Gables\u003c\/em\u003e (Canada) and Miles Franklin's \u003cem\u003eMy Brilliant Career\u003c\/em\u003e (Australia).\u003cbr\u003e Ranging from Henry James's \u003cem\u003eThe Ambassadors\u003c\/em\u003e to Max Beerbohm's \u003cem\u003eZuleika Dobson\u003c\/em\u003e, this superb volume captures the books, writers, and preoccupations of a fascinating literary era.
