E. Nesbit's 'The Literary Sense' renders a reflective journey through the inner workings of its characters' minds, where the eponymous sense is a trope that Nesbit subtly weaves into each narrative strand. The prose is marked by its Edwardian elegance and cleverness, engaging readers through stories that reflect on social and emotional undercurrents of the time. Written within a context that predates modernism, this literary work is vested in sentiment and wit, inviting a delicate examination of human relationships and the ironic twists of fate that often accompany them. Each tale in this carefully restored DigiCat edition upholds the integrity of Nesbit's original text while making it accessible to contemporary audiences. Edith Nesbit, an adept of children's literature and a co-founder of the Fabian Society, resonates a mature and nuanced style in 'The Literary Sense' that diverges from her beloved children's fantasies. The themes explored reflect Nesbit's broad understanding of human complexities and her acute observational skills. This compilation of short stories may have been bolstered by her own life experiences, shaped by personal tragedy, political activism, and a pioneering spirit that lent her a distinct voice within the literary landscape of her time. 'The Literary Sense' is recommended not just to aficionados of Nesbit's renowned children's work but to all who savor the richness of early twentieth-century prose. This edition from DigiCat Publishing revives an underrated gem by a celebrated author, offering readers a glimpse into the multifaceted talent of E. Nesbit. It stands as a testament to the timelessness of her literary craft, and serves as a stimulating read for those who appreciate the dance of words that evoke the literary sense within us all.

E. Nesbit

Edith Nesbit was born in 1858. Her father died when she was only three and so her family moved all over England. Poverty was something she had known first hand, both as a child and as a young married woman with small children. Like the Railway Childrens' Mother, she was forced to try and sell her stories and poems to editors.

Her first children's book, The Treasure Seekers, was published in 1899. She also wrote Five Children and It but her most famous story is The Railway Children which was first published in 1905 and it hasn't been out of print since.

Edith Nesbit was a lady ahead of her time - she cut her hair short, which was considered a very bold move in Victorian times, and she was a founding member of a group that worked towards improvements in politics and society called The Fabian Society. She died in 1924.
