Context: The Night of Wenceslas is the debut novel of British thriller and crime writer Lionel Davidson.  This Bildungsroman describes the reluctant adventures of Nicolas Whistler, a dissolute young man of mixed English and Czech parentage who finds himself caught up against his will in Cold War espionage.  The novel won the Crime Writers' Association's Gold Dagger Award in 1960 and the Author's Club First Novel Award.  It was filmed in 1964 under the title "Hot Enough for June". Ghosts is a novel by Irish writer John Banville.  Published in 1993, it was his first novel since "The Book of Evidence" (1989), which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.  The second in what Banville described as a "triptych", to make "an investigation of the way in which the imagination works."  This novel features many of the same characters and relates to events of the previous novel. The Cold War was a state of geopolitical tension after World War II between powers in the Eastern Bloc (the Soviet Union and its satellite states) and powers in the Western Bloc (the United States, its NATO allies and others).  Historians do not fully agree on the dates, but a common timeframe is the period between 1947, the year the Truman Doctrine (a U.S. foreign policy pledging to aid nations threatened by Soviet expansionism) was announced, and 1991, the year the Soviet Union collapsed. Ramtanu Lahiri O Tatkalin Bangasamaj ("Ramtanu Lahiri and Contemporary Bengali Society"/"The Life and Times of Ramtanu Lahiri") is a book authored by Shibnath Shastri.  It is considered one of the most important historical documents relating to the period commonly known as the Bengali renaissance.  Though named after the social reformer Ramtanu Lahiri, it covers a broad historical period beginning with Ram Mohan Roy and including the Brahmos, Henry Louis Vivian Derozio and his Young Bengal movement and other such important historical events of contemporary Bengali society.  In particular, it is the primary source of information on the Brahmo Samaj.  An English version "A History of Renaissance in Bengal - Ramtanu Lahiri: Brahman and Reformer", edited by Sir Roper Lethbridge, was published in London in 1907. Restoration literature is the English literature written during the historical period commonly referred to as the English Restoration (1660–1689), which corresponds to the last years of the direct Stuart reign in England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.  In general, the term is used to denote roughly homogeneous styles of literature that center on a celebration of or reaction to the restored court of Charles II.  It is a literature that includes extremes, for it encompasses both "Paradise Lost" and the Earl of Rochester's "Sodom", the high-spirited sexual comedy of "The Country Wife" and the moral wisdom of "The Pilgrim's Progress".  It saw Locke's "Treatises of Government", the founding of the Royal Society, the experiments and holy meditations of Robert Boyle, the hysterical attacks on theaters from Jeremy Collier, and the pioneering of literary criticism from John Dryden and John Dennis.  The period witnessed news become a commodity, the essay develop into a periodical art form, and the beginnings of textual criticism. Medieval Spanish literature consists of the corpus of literary works written in medieval Spanish between the beginning of the 13th and the end of the 15th century.  Traditionally, the first and last works of this period are taken to be respectively the "Cantar de Mio Cid", an epic poem whose manuscript dates from 1207, and "La Celestina" (1499), a work commonly described as transitional between the medieval period and the Renaissance. The Long Peace is a term for the historical period following the end of World War II in 1945.  This period of Cold War (1945–1991) was marked by the absence of major wars between the great powers of the period, the United States and the USSR.  Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the rise of China as a major power, there followed a quarter of a century of continued absence of direct conflict between major states, though lesser military conflicts occurred. The term, historical period drama (also historical drama, period drama, costume drama, and period piece) refers to a work set in an earlier time period; usually used in the context of film and television.  It is an informal crossover term that can apply to several genres and is often heard in the context of historical fiction and romances, adventure films, and swashbucklers.  A period piece may be as long and general as the middle ages or as limited as one decade, for example, the Roaring Twenties. Wildcat banking refers to the practices of banks chartered under state law during the periods of non-federally regulated state banking between 1816 and 1863 in the United States, also known as the Free Banking Era.  This era, commonly described as an example of free banking, was not a period of true free banking, as banks were free of only federal regulation; banking was regulated by the states.  The actual regulation of banking during this period varied from state to state. The Last Fine Time is a 1991 book by American author Verlyn Klinkenborg about a blue collar Polish-American bar in Buffalo, New York, inherited by his father-in-law in 1947.

Portions of the book appeared originally in "The New Yorker".
