Writ in Barracks
Tags
Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers interested in Edgar Wallace and British popular literature
- Literature enthusiasts who want to learn about early twentieth-century barracks-themed writing
- Readers needing free English eBooks to broaden their reading
Not a good fit for
- Readers expecting modern fast-paced suspense plots
- Readers hoping for systematic barracks historical sources or documentary research
- Readers not used to English originals and the language style of early works
Reading tips
- Read a few pages first to adjust to the language style, then proceed chapter by chapter; there is no need to finish in one sitting.
- While reading, note the details of barracks life and how character relationships are written; keep brief notes of impressions.
- If Wallace interests you, read alongside his other public-domain works to appreciate the range of his subjects.

About the author
Project Gutenberg is not a single author but a nonprofit digital library founded by Michael Hart in 1971 and one of the world's earliest free ebook platforms. It relies on volunteers to digitize, proofread, and freely distribute public-domain works and is now operated by the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Its collection contains 2,692 works, mainly religious texts, epics, and story collections, including the King James Bible and the Douay-Rheims volumes, the epic Mahabharata, a literal translation of the Arabian Nights, and Danish editions of the Old and New Testaments. Public information is limited, and its nature is closer to a public-interest compiling and dissemination body; these texts are open to the public, easy to consult and circulate, and have had a profound influence on the spread of ebooks and the preservation of public-domain resources.
