![]() ![]() Pylodet and Augusta Harriet Leypoldt (1886). QUIES by Paul Celieres (1887).ĬHECKMATED AND OTHER STORIES BY LEADING WRITERS Edited by L. I came to you because you seem to have a literary bent (not just your own writing – you mentioned in a column that you like Nick Cave) but if you are not the one to whom I should be asking this question, can you point me to someone else who might know about such matters?Ī few 19 th Century titles that feature some chess related theme are:ĪRABIAN KNIGHTS by Richard Burton (1885).ĭIGBY, CHESS PROFESSOR by Charles Edward Barns (1889). Do you know of any works of fiction that mention or give pride-of-place to chess? The older the better. I am a sucker for the 19th century, but, though I can find plenty enough in the 20th century (Eliot’s THE WASTELAND has an intriguing reference, THE QUEEN’S GAMBIT, various memoirs) 19th century literature seems to be lacking on this front. There is, of course, Lewis Carroll. Still, any books at all that you can recommend I would greatly appreciate. ![]()
