  This book looks at the lives of twenty great novelists who wrote between the late 16th and end of the 19th centuries. The author sketches their life stories and points out how their experiences influenced their work. Among the novelists examined are Jane Austen, Dickens, Tolstoy, George Eliot, Dumas and Mark Twain, writers whose work was enjoyed in their own time and is still popular today. Others, like Herman Melville and Kate Chopin, wrote novels which were popular in their day, were forgotten and have been rediscovered by later generations. The book also contains important dates relating to each person.
