• The Ebb-Tide a trio and Quartette is written by two authors who are Robert Louis Stevenson and his stepson Lloyd Osbourne. The book came out the year Stevenson passed away.

• H. G. Wells wrote and published the book, Ann Veronica a modern love story in 1909. It talks of Ann Veronica Stanley's uprising against her middle-class father's strict patriarchal control as "a young woman of about two-and-twenty." The New Woman's issue in modern society is dramatized in the book. Except for a vacation to the mountains, it takes place in Victorian-era London and its surroundings. Ann Veronica provides snapshots of the British women's suffrage struggle and includes a chapter that was motivated by the suffragettes' failed effort to storm Parliament in 1908. The story revolves around her father who forbids her from attending a ball, she leaves home to live independently. She borrows money from an older man to study and falls in love with Capes, the laboratory's "demonstrator". Due to the heroine's feminist sympathies and the romance Wells was having with Amber Reeves, the woman who served as the inspiration for Ann Veronica, the book caused a sensation when it was released in the autumn of 1909. Even though the book now seems fairly mild-mannered, Ann Veronica was criticized as "capable of poisoning the minds of people who read it" by The Spectator in its day as being a scandalous work.

• Dubliners, a collection of James Joyce's fifteen short stories, was first published in 1914. It provides a realistic portrayal of Irish middle-class life in Dublin and the surrounding area in the early 20th century. When the stories were written, Irish nationalism was at its peak, and there was a huge desire for a sense of national identity and mission. Standing at a nexus of history and culture, Ireland was being jolted by numerous converging ideas and forces. They focus on the paralysis theme and Joyce's concept of an epiphany, which is a character's transformational self-understanding or illumination (Joyce felt Irish nationalism stagnated cultural progression, placing Dublin at the heart of a regressive movement). Following Joyce's categorization of the collection into childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life, the following stories are written in the third person and deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older individuals. The first three stories in the book are narrated by children. Many of the Dubliner's characters later made cameos in Ulysses by James Joyce.

• James Oliver Curwood's book Flower of the Night is filled with adventure, intrigue, and love. The author demonstrated the heights of both heroism and baseness as well as the avarice of people that portray lovely love tales of devotion and faith. Philip Whittemore is on an expedition in Flower of the North that takes him up the Churchill River in northern Canada to a place he thought he knew. A mysterious outpost known as Fort o' God, whose occupants and history are shrouded in mystery, is located among the rocks and hills, though, and he has been told that it is called Fort o' God. He learned about this location through Jeanne D'Arcambal and her guardian Pierre, but they withheld a lot of information from him, including their true identities, origins, and murky pasts. He had saved enough money by 1909 to take a trip to the Canadian Northwest, which served as the basis for several of his wild-west adventure tales. Because of the popularity of his works, Curwood was able to write more than thirty of them while spending several months each year in the Yukon and Alaska.

Because Lefty did not feel anything like it. Instead, he was overcome by extreme joy. The thought that he was about to get rid of this nuisance could have made him sing with glee.
