By J.M. Barrie

Book Overview

""An Edinburgh Eleven: Pencil Portraits From College Life"" is a book written by James Matthew Barrie and published in 1896. The book contains a collection of eleven sketches of his fellow students at the University of Edinburgh, where Barrie studied. Each sketch is accompanied by a short essay that provides insights into the personalities and habits of the individuals portrayed. The book is written in Barrie's characteristic style, which is witty, humorous, and often satirical. The sketches provide a glimpse into the life and culture of the university during the late 19th century, as well as the social and intellectual circles in which Barrie moved. The book is a fascinating portrait of a bygone era and a valuable historical document that sheds light on the development of one of the most celebrated writers of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
