Summary "Charles Lever: His Life in His Letters, Vol. II" by Charles James Lever is a collection of personal correspondence that provides insights into the author's life and thoughts, composed in the early 20th century. This volume features letters that reveal Lever's experiences in Florence, his interactions with significant figures of his time, and his reflections on his writing career, particularly in relation to his well-known work, "Tony Butler." The book captures the essence of Lever's literary pursuits while intertwining it with the tumultuous historical backdrop of Italy during the 1860s. The opening of this correspondence highlights Lever's anxieties and ambitions surrounding his writing, specifically his serial story "Tony."
