"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. It is commonly said that we have nothing to fear but fear itself. That may be a way to fortify our reason and rationality but all too often it merely escalates the panic and irrationality so that every sentence we read or hear has the ability to shred nerves and common sense in next to no time. Why would we allow authors to do this to us? The truth is we enjoy it. Fear may be frightful but it is also enormous fun. Unless, of course, they take it too far. Which in many cases our classic authors including Edgar Allan Poe, H P Lovecraft, Edith Nesbit, W W Jacobs and a host of others certainly do. 1 - Short Stories About Fear - An Introduction2 - The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe3 - In The Dark by Edith Nesbit4 - Cool Air by H P Lovecraft5 - My Own True Ghost Story by Rudyard Kipling6 - Jerry Bundler by W W Jacobs7 - Gabriel-Ernest by Saki8 - The Sphinx by Edgar Allan Poe9 - The Judge's House by Bram Stoker10 - An Uncomfortable Bed by Guy de Maupassant11 - Fear by Catherine Wells12 - How They Stopped the 'Run' by Anthony Hope13 - The Gray Man by Sarah Orne Jewett14 - The Premature Burial by Edgar Allan Poe15 - The Waxworks by A M Burrage16 - The Three Sisters by W W Jacobs17 - The Cobweb by Saki18 - The Power of Darkness by Edith Nesbit19 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe20 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe"

"Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born on the 30th August 1797 in Somers Town, London.Her mother, the famous feminist philosopher, educator, and writer Mary Wollstonecraft died when Mary was only 11 days old and she was raised by her father, the philosopher, novelist, journalist, and perpetually in debt, William Godwin.Though Mary received little formal education her father taught her a broad range of subjects and added to her bright and curious personality she easily absorbed a good and broad education.In July 1814, after conducting a secret affair with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who had earlier promised to pay off yet another round of her father’s business debts, the pair eloped to France. Within two months, penniless and pregnant they returned to England.Her husbands’ affairs caused her frequent heartbreak but despite all the travails, including the loss of her own child, Shelley’s recent inheritance gave them the opportunity to journey again to Europe.It was here that ‘Frankenstein’ was born and established Mary’s own name in literature.Her life hereafter was plagued with loss; the death of two further children and then her husband in a boating accident. Her writing continued through novels, travel pieces and biographies. Her short stories, some based in Europe, tackle difficult situations and genres as well the obstacles that women were burdened with in society. Her editorship of her late husband’s poetry was also widely praised. Mary’s radical politics continued to guide her journey throughout her life but, by 1840, illness had begun to haunt her years, depriving her of energy and vigour. Mary Shelley died on the 1st February 1851, at Chester Square, London of a suspected brain tumour. She was 53."

Wonder Of Women - To Make A Long Story Short

"Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told. Many did.But whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms. However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need. Narratives had new ideas. Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.The women included here are talents that dazzle. Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top. Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed. 1 - Women of Wonder - To Make A Long Story Short - An Introduction2 - Desiree's Baby by Kate Chopin3 - The Story of Sir Bertrand by Anna Laetitia Barbauld4 - All Souls Eve by Dora Sigerson Shorter5 - After the Funeral by Mary Butts6 - Conversation on Conversation by Harriet Beecher Stowe7 - The Preacher at Hill Station by Katherine Davis Chapman Tillman8 - The Palace of Death by Emily Bronte9 - The Lie by Holloway Horn10 - The Readjustment by Mary Austin11 - Suggestion by Mrs Ernest Leverson12 - A Pen and Ink Effect by Frances E Huntley13 - The Wooing of Pastor Cummings by Georgia F Stewart14 - My Flirtations by Ella Hepworth Dixon writing as Margaret Wynham15 - The Three Kisses by Violet Quirk16 - A Redeeming Sacrifice by Lucy Maud Montgomery17 - Many Waters Cannot Quench Love by Louisa Baldwin18 - Aunt Hetty on Matrimony by Fanny Fern, the writing pseudonym for Sarah Payton Parton19 - Aunt Lindy.

The Slave Trade. A Poem

"Hannah More was born on February 2nd, 1745 at Fishponds in the parish of Stapleton, near Bristol. She was the fourth of five daughters.The City of Bristol, at that time, was a centre for slave-trading and Hannah would, over time, become one of its staunchest critics. She was keen to learn, possessed a sharp intellect and was assiduous in studying. Hannah first wrote in 1762 with The Search after Happiness (by the mid-1780s some 10,000 copies had been sold).In 1767 Hannah became engaged to William Turner. After six years, with no wedding in sight, the engagement was broken off. Turner then bestowed upon her an annual annuity of £200. This was enough to meet her needs and set her free to pursue a literary career. Her first play, The Inflexible Captive, was staged at Bath in 1775. The famous David Garrick himself produced her next play, Percy, in 1777 as well as writing both the Prologue and Epilogue for it. It was a great success when performed at Covent Garden in December of that year. Hannah turned to religious writing with Sacred Dramas in 1782; it rapidly ran through nineteen editions. These and the poems Bas-Bleu and Florio (1786) mark her gradual transition to a more serious and considered view of life.Hannah contributed much to the newly-founded Abolition Society including, in February 1788, her publication of Slavery, a Poem recognised as one of the most important of the abolition period. Her work now became more evangelical. In the 1790s she wrote several Cheap Repository Tracts which covered moral, religious and political topics and were both for sale or distributed to literate poor people. The most famous is, perhaps, The Shepherd of Salisbury Plain, describing a family of incredible frugality and contentment. Two million copies of these were circulated, in one year.In 1789, she purchased a small house at Cowslip Green in Somerset. She was instrumental in setting up twelve schools in the area by 1800.She continued to oppose slavery throughout her life, but at the time of the Abolition Bill of 1807, her health did not permit her to take as active a role in the movement as she had done in the late 1780s, although she maintained a correspondence with Wilberforce and others. In July 1833, the Bill to abolish slavery throughout the British Empire passed in the House of Commons, followed by the House of Lords on August 1st.Hannah More died on September 7th, 1833."

"One of the great names of English, and indeed World Poetry, delivers a specatacular poem"

Percy Bysshe Shelley (Author), Ghizela Rowe (Narrator)

"John Davidson was born at Barrhead, East Renfrewshire on 11th April 1857. In 1862 his family moved to Greenock and there he began his education at Highlanders' Academy. Davidson would now spend many years at school and the beginnings of a career in various industries before gaining employment in various schools.By now literature was a large part of his activities and his first published work was ‘Bruce, A Chronicle Play’ in 1886. Four other plays quickly followed including the somewhat brilliant pantomimic ‘Scaramouch in Naxos’ (1889).With his reputation gradually providing an income he was also able to explore his true medium; Verse. ‘In a Music Hall and Other Poems’ (1891) together with ‘Fleet Street Eclogues’ (1893) were ample proof that he possessed a quite rare, genuine and distinctive poetic gift. Davidson now turned further and further towards verse. In 1894 he published his most popular volume, ‘Ballads and Songs’ (1894), and this was followed by a further ‘Fleet Street Eclogues’ (Second Series) (1896) and by ‘New Ballads’ (1897) and ‘The Last Ballad’ (1899).As the new century dawned Davidson was hard at work on a series of ‘Testaments’, in which he gave definite expression to his philosophy and were published over a seven year period; ‘The Testament of a Vivisector’ (1901), ‘The Testament of a Man Forbid’ (1901), ‘The Testament of an Empire Builder’ (1902), and ‘The Testament of John Davidson’ (1908). However, on 23rd March 1909, with his finances in ruins, the onset of cancer and profound hopelessness and clinical depression he left his house for the last time. His body was only found on September 18th by some local fishermen."

Stories About Orphans

"Life can be difficult. We all experience hurdles, obstacles and problems that get in the way and may limit our opportunities. But we can usually count on the steadfast and loving support of others. We get that comfort from our parents and pass it on through the generations. Sadly, some will not get that unconditional love and bond from their onset or their early years. Growing up as an orphan is to know you are different and, on some levels at least, alone. Surviving and thriving with this can damage a life or be used as fuel to achieve a whole, rich, and nurtured life.In this volume our authors use this as their theme as they construct moving stories from bleak beginnings to lives with surprising outcomes. 1 - Stories About Orphans - An Introduction2 - Vanka by Anton Chekhov3 - Betty Brown, the St Giles Orange Girl by Hannah More4 - Stephen Archer by George MacDonald5 - The Indian Orphan.

Lessons from Literature - Stories Dealing With Racism

"Being curious, learning from all of our experiences, is one of our most pleasing traits as human beings. In this series we examine particular facets of ourselves and, with the aid of many classic authors, delve into characters and stories that not only entertain us, but inform us on how short stories can help us both deal and understand issues that touch and weave into our lives with the words and narratives of many wise talents.The evil stain of Racism blights much of humanity. Our own ambition to be seen as better than the rest can sometimes, without any evidence to the contrary, spill over into corrosive thoughts and actions based on colour, religion and culture. These stories examine and reveal much about this appalling travesty. 01 - Lessons From Literature - Racism - An Introduction2 - The Scapegoat by Paul Laurence Dunbar3 - Desiree's Baby by Kate Chopin4 - The Stones of the Village by Alice Dunbar Nelson5 - The Brothers by Louisa May Alcott6 - Breaking the Color Line by Annie McCary7 - The Octoroon's Revenge by Ruth D Todd8 - The Hoodoo by Martha Gruening9 - The Quadroons by Lydia Maria Child10 - The Wife of His Youth by Charles W Chesnutt11 - Talma Gordon by Pauline E Hopkins12 - The City of Refuge by Rudolph Fisher"

The Top 10 Short Stories - Suicide

"Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author's brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted 'Top Tens' across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions - Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.Those taken away by their own hand leave many questions and many sorrows. In this volume ten of our vaunted authors share stories of tragedy and the early demise of characters who take a tortured path of no return.01 - The Top 10 - Suicide - An Introduction02 - In the Penal Colony by Franz Kafka03 - Suicides by Guy de Maupassant04 - The Victory by Rabindranath Tagore05 - Paul's Case by Willa Cather06 - Claude Gueux by Victor Hugo07 - The Mourner by Mary Shelley08 - A Slav Soul by Alexander Kuprin09 - Cohen of Trinity by Amy Levy10 - A Passion in the Desert by Honoré de Balzac11 - The Quadroons by Lydia Maria Child"

Women’s Role in Love and Choice in Love and Marriage - Short Stories

"Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. Men did, in the age of our classic authors, usually declare their supremacy in all manner of things. They had the authority, both moral and legal, they had control of the assets. If the game is rigged there can be only one winner. Yet in this volume our authors more closely examine the part of women in the relationship of love and open both our eyes and our ears to a truth in each and every story that reveals a rather different balance.1 - Woman's Role and Choice in Love - Short Stories - An Introduction2 - The Ice Palace by F Scott Fitzgerald3 - The Horse Dealer's Daughter by D H Lawrence4 - Madame Rose Hanie by Khalil Gibran5 - A Respectable Woman by Kate Chopin6 - The Daughter of Lilith by Anatole France7 - The Skylight Room by O Henry8 - The Looking Glass by Anton Chekhov9 - Here We Are by Dorothy Parker10 - Right At Last by Elizabeth Gaskell11 - The Unfortunate Bride or The Blind Lady a Beauty by Aphra Behn12 - Spurs by Tod Robbins13 - The Inquity of Oblivion by Kenneth Grahame14 - An Outcast of the People by Bithia Mary Croker15 - Two Offers by Frances Watkins Harper16 - The Difference by Ellen Glasgow"
