Sentimental Studies And A Set Of Village Tales is a collection of short stories and essays written by Hubert Crackanthorpe, originally published in 1895. The book is divided into two parts; the first part consists of four essays on the subject of sentimentality and its role in literature, while the second part contains six short stories set in rural England.In the essays, Crackanthorpe explores the concept of sentimentality and its impact on literature. He argues that sentimentality, when used in excess, can detract from the authenticity of a work and create a false emotional response in the reader. He also discusses the importance of realism in literature and the need for authors to accurately depict the world around them.The short stories in the second part of the book are set in various rural villages and explore the lives of the inhabitants. The stories range from humorous to tragic and depict the struggles and triumphs of everyday people. The characters are often flawed but ultimately sympathetic, and Crackanthorpe's writing style is praised for its realism and attention to detail.Overall, Sentimental Studies And A Set Of Village Tales is a thought-provoking collection of essays and stories that offers insight into the literary and social trends of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
