Электронная книга: A. N. Wilson «Viktoriaanid»
19. sajandil toimusid maailmas suuremad muutused kui ühelgi varasemal ajastul: rahvuste ja ühiskondade korralduses, teadustes ja mitteusulises intellektuaalses arengus. Selle draama kesksed osatäitjad olid britid, kes mõtlesid välja nii kapitalismi kui ka imperialismi ning olid areneva maailma kõige rikkamad ja mõjukamad investorid. Selles mõttes sarnaneb kuninganna Victoria aegse Inglismaa positsioon tugevasti 20. sajandi lõpu Ameerika Ühendriikide omaga. Suurbritannia ühel vilunumal elulookirjutajal ja romanistil Andrew Norman Wilsonil on silma hea loo tabamiseks. Oma mastaapses teoses käsitleb ta kirjanikke, riigimehi, teadlasi, filosoofe ja sõjaväelasi, kelle elu ja arusaamad selle ajastu pöördelist ajalugu kõnekalt illustreerivad: loodusuurija Charles Darwin, filosoof ja majandusteadlane Karl Marx, poliitikud William Ewart Gladstone ja Benjamin Disraeli, kardinal JohnHenry Newman, kirjanikud Charles Dickens, George Eliot ning Rudyard Kipling jt. Wilson on selles raamatus selgitanud, kuidas pani Victoria-aegne Inglismaa aluse revolutsioonile, mis ei ole lõppenud siiani. Wilsonilt on varem eesti keeles ilmunud monograafia „Kuninganna Victoria” (2016). E-raamatus pilte ei ole. Издательство: "Eesti digiraamatute keskus OU"

Betjeman letter hoax
In August 2006 Wilson's biography of Sir John Betjeman was published. It was then discovered that he had been the victim of a hoax and had included a letter (to Anglo-Irish writer, Wilson later claimed that he has struck back with a hidden message of his own in a reprinting of the book. That has yet to be discovered.cite news Darling Honor, I loved yesterday. All day, I've thought of nothing else. No other love I've had means so much. Was it just an aberration on your part, or will you meet me at Mrs Holmes's again - say on Saturday? I won't be able to sleep until I have your answer. Love has given me a miss for so long, and now this miracle has happened. Sex is a part of it, of course, but I have a Romaunt of the Rose feeling about it too. On Saturday we could have lunch at Fortt's, then go back to Mrs H's. Never mind if you can't make it then. I am free on Sunday too or Sunday week. Signal me tomorrow as to whether and when you can come. Anthony Powell has written to me, and mentions you admiringly. Some of his comments about the Army are v funny. He's somebody I'd like to know better when the war is over. I find his letters funnier than his books. Tinkerty-tonk, my darling. I pray I'll hear from you tomorrow. If I don't I'll visit your office in a fake beard.All love, JB Notes and references Bibliography *A N Wilson has completed biographies on Non-fiction *" Fiction *" *a External links *James Atlas [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CE5D8103FF93BA25753C1A964958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all "'The Busy, Busy Wasp'",] "New York Times", 18 October 1992 Источник: A.
