Title Tag: Publisher Series: Vizetelly's One-Volume Novels

Description: The following novels comprise Vizetelly's One-Volume Novels series. The title of the series and price (6s or less) positioned the novels as alternatives to the expensive three-volume novel. The series began in 1884 and ended by 1890 after 30 or 33 titles, the details being lost in the collapse of Vizetelly's business. The majority of titles were new fiction or the first English translations of French or Russian works (e.g., Dostoyevsky). A handful of titles, such as three by Georges Ohnet, previously appeared from other publishers.
