Opis

This early work by Edgar Wallace was originally published in 1900 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introduction. 'Writ in Barracks' is one of Wallace's collections of poetry. Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace was born in London, England in 1875. He received his early education at St. Peter's School and the Board School, but after a frenetic teens involving a rash engagement and frequently changing employment circumstances, Wallace went into the military. In 1902, Wallace became editor of the Rand Daily Mail, earning a handsome salary. However, a dislike of "economising" and a lavish lifestyle saw him constantly in debt. Whilst in the Balkans covering the Russo-Japanese War, Wallace found the inspiration for The Four Just Men, published in 1905. This novel is now regarded as the prototype of modern thriller novels. Over the rest of his life, Wallace produced some 173 books and wrote 17 plays. These were largely adventure narratives with elements of crime or mystery, and usually combined a bombastic sensationalism with hammy violence.
