Born in Kingston, Ontario, into a cultured and affluent family, Allen was educated in France and England. A mysterious marriage while he was an Oxford undergraduate wrecked his academic career and radicalized his views on sexual and marital questions, as did a three-year teaching stint in Jamaica. Despite his lifelong ill health and short life, Allen was a writer of extraordinary productivity and range. About half - more than 30 books and many hundreds of articles - reflects interests which ran from Darwinian biology to cultural travel guides. His prosperity, however, was underpinned by fiction; more than 30 novels, including The Woman Who Did , which has attracted much recent attention from feminist critics and historians. The Better End of Grub Street uses Allen's career to examine the role and status of the freelance author/journalist in the late-Victorian period. Allen's career delineates what it took to succeed in this notoriously tough profession. 606 $aAuthors, English$y19th century$vBiography 606 $aAuthorship$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAuthors, English 615 0$aAuthorship$xHistory 676 $a821/.914 700 $aMorton$b Peter$f1946 Apr. 10-$0998741 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451079803321 996 $aThe busiest man in England$92291032 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01454nam 2200385 450 001 9910131218703321 005 20240214103240.0 010 $a1-4123-5846-9 024 7 $a10.1522/24996717 035 $a(CKB)3680000000167233 035 $a(NjHacI)993680000000167233 035 $a(EXLCZ)993680000000167233 100 $a20240214d2007 uy 0 101 0 $afre 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aArts visuels et espace public $el'apport de deux femmes artistes dans les anne?es 60 au Que?bec, Micheline Beauchemin et Marcelle Ferron /$fRose-Marie Arbour 210 1$aChicoutimi :$cJ.-M.
