I, Jonathan Blue, Paperback / softback Book

I, Jonathan Blue Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

My name is Jonathan Blue. During the last two decades of the nineteenth century, I worked many hours each day for acceptance as a writer.

In my youth, I dreamed of becoming a classical scholar at Oxford or Cambridge.

When the fantasy was shattered by a stupid excess of emotion, I attempted to begin a new life in America.

A year later, I was living in a London slum with a drunken wife.

In grim poverty, I wrote about poor people struggling to survive in slums among the worst in the world.

They were my neighbors, and from them came inventive and motive force.

In maturity I lived with a delicate and beautiful woman, but in failing health for a short time.

Then like a turbulent river, I dashed unimpeded to the sea.
