All but one are the original texts; the one exception is A Midsummer Night’s Dream which the reader took from Charles Lamb’s telling of the story. Some ...

Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse was published in May 1927 in both Britain and the United States.

Most reviewers praised Mrs. Woolf's genius, although they found evidence of it in varied aspects of the book. For some, the book was a flawed masterpiece, although they did not agree on what the flaws were. A few recalcitrant reviewers failed to see ...

Who does not delight in oratory? How we gather to hear even an ordinary speaker! How often is a jury swayed and controlled by the appeals of counsel! Do we not all feel the magic of the power, and when occasionally we are permitted to listen to a great orator how completely we lose ourselves and yield in willing submission to the imperious and impetuous flow of his speech!We have not confined ourselves to any one profession or field of eloquence. The pulpit, the bar, the halls of legislation, and the popular assembly have each and all been called upon for their best contributions. The single ...
