Scribes And Pharisees: A Story Of Literary London is a novel written by William Le Queux and published in 1898. The book is set in the literary world of London and follows the story of a young writer named Alastair Graham, who is trying to make a name for himself in the competitive world of publishing. As Graham navigates the cutthroat world of literary London, he encounters a cast of characters including publishers, editors, writers, and critics. Among them are the scribes and Pharisees of the title, who represent the two factions within the literary community: the honest, hardworking writers and the pretentious, self-important critics.Through Graham's experiences, the novel explores themes of ambition, success, and the corrupting influence of power. It also offers a glimpse into the literary world of late 19th-century London, with its scandals, rivalries, and backstabbing.Overall, Scribes And Pharisees is a gripping tale of ambition and betrayal set against the backdrop of the literary world of Victorian London. It offers a fascinating insight into the world of publishing and the struggles faced by aspiring writers trying to make their mark.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
