William Tinsley (1830 1900) was a noted Victorian publisher whose
catalogue included works by such celebrated novelists as Thomas
Hardy and Wilkie Collins. This two-volume autobiography, first
published in 1900, traces his life from his rural childhood to the
establishment and rise of the Tinsley Brothers company in 1858, and
its later collapse. Each chapter contains a series of brief
sketches of authors and other contemporaries. Volume 2 charts
Tinsley's later career, and features several lengthier portraits of
some of the personalities he encountered. It also includes
information on Victorian playwrights and actors, along with a
detailed section on the history of Sadler's Wells theatre. Based on
Tinsley's personal recollections, and incorporating letters as well
as anecdotal information, these volumes will fascinate anyone
interested in the history of publishing and the development of the
nineteenth-century novel.
