He was educated with a view to being a landscape painter, a training that clearly influenced his literary life, and 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, after some experience in Glasgow journalism, and joined the staff of The Morning Star, and, later, the Daily News, of which journal he became assistant-editor. 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, and met with little success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1034946420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781034946427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blurb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.45d","brand":"William Black","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48484191371519,"sku":"9781034946427","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0ba2fa1-09f4-4f69-87b3-b74eb5bc334a.jpg?v=1778043019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-beautiful-wretch-esprios-classics-william-black-9781034946427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
