Summary "Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction and the Drama, Vol. 1" by E. Cobham Brewer is a collection of literary analyses and character studies written in the late 19th century. The book compiles various sketches that detail a wide variety of characters from classic literature, plays, and romances, such as characters from the works of Shakespeare and other notable authors of the era. The likely topic revolves around the exploration and interpretation of notable characters, their narratives, and their significance in their respective stories. The opening of the book begins with an extensive list of illustrations and character sketches that reflect the diverse range of personalities from literature. Among the characters introduced are Aaron from "Titus Andronicus," Abelard and Eloise, and the Moorish governor Abd al-Aziz. Each sketch provides a brief yet vibrant description of their roles, backgrounds, and the literary contexts in which they exist. This portion sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of significant characters and lays out Brewer's intention to provide insightful commentary on the broader themes of romance and drama within literature.
