Who it's for
A good fit for
- Learners who want to increase their reading of original English novels at low cost
- Readers interested in early English popular literature who are willing to look up background on their own
- Researchers who need public-domain English texts for linguistic analysis or text mining
Not a good fit for
- Readers unaccustomed to reading English originals who need a Chinese translation as support

Reading tips
- Read through the first two chapters to gauge the language difficulty, then decide whether to read closely or extensively chapter by chapter.
- Use the ebook's search function to compile recurring names and places, and build a character relationship chart.
- When encountering unfamiliar expressions, first guess from context; after finishing the chapter, look up the words all at once.

About the author
Charles Edward Pearce (Pearce, Charles Edward, -1924) is a writer about whom very little biographical information survives. His nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background cannot be reliably established from public sources; all that can be confirmed is that he died in 1924. The library holds one work by him, Madame Flirt. On the strength of a single title it is difficult to form a full picture of his writing. Judging from the title and its likely subject matter, the book may involve a narrative of romance, social life, and personal fortune, with the flavor of popular fiction. Because public material is limited, there is as yet insufficient evidence to assess his style, his development as a writer, or his literary influence. For researchers he remains a marginal author whose value must await further bibliographical and textual investigation.
