The Complete Works Of Bret Harte - Collected And Revised By The Author
Volume 3: Tales Of The Argonauts And Eastern Sketches
Published by Chatto And Windus: London 1880

" The Complete Works of Bret Harte - Volume III: Tales of the Argonauts and Eastern Sketches (1880), published by Chatto and Windus, London, gathers some of Harte's most memorable short fiction from both his Californian and transatlantic periods. The "Tales of the Argonauts" vividly portray the lives, struggles, and moral complexities of fortune-seekers and settlers during the California Gold Rush, showcasing Harte's trademark blend of humour, sentiment, and sharp social observation. In contrast, the "Eastern Sketches" shift the scene to the older, more settled regions of the United States, revealing the author's versatility in tone and subject as he turns his attention from the rugged frontier to more reflective themes of urban and domestic life.

This volume illustrates the breadth of Harte's literary achievement and his ability to capture the human condition with both empathy and irony. His stories, filled with colourful characters and precise atmosphere, bridge the American frontier with a universal sense of adventure and morality. This book would appeal to collectors of 19th-century American fiction, enthusiasts of Western literature, and readers interested in the evolution of short story form during the Victorian era."
