  When you sit down at a play, movie, or concert—or even in front of the TV or scrolling on your phone—you are taking part in one of the oldest and most mysterious forms of human behavior. Being part of an audience is an age-old experience that we all crave, one that has evolved from amphitheaters to screens. Right This Way is a pop history of audiences through the ages. Playbill editor Robert Viagas unfolds the unique aspects of what he calls “audiencing” with stories from the age of the Greeks to the world of Zoom. He walks through the different types of audiences and the history of their responses, what science has to say about how our brains respond to what they see and the reactions of the people around them, and why, during COVID-19, people risked a deadly virus to be part of a crowd. Right This Way explores what the audience experience brings us and how it may evolve in the 21st century.

Auguste Dupin, to solve the baffling murder of Mary Rogers in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt."

  First published in 1927, Aspects of the Novel by E. M. Forster remains one of the most influential works of literary criticism in the English language. Based on a series of lectures delivered at Cambridge University, Forster explores the essential elements that define the novel — story, people, plot, fantasy, prophecy, pattern, and rhythm. 
  With wit, clarity, and intellectual warmth, Forster examines the craft of novelists from Jane Austen and Charles Dickens to Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, offering insights into what makes fiction come alive on the page. His timeless reflections challenge rigid forms of analysis, inviting readers and writers alike to approach the novel as both an art and an exploration of human experience. 
  This classic guide to understanding fiction is as engaging today as when it was first delivered, a must-listen for students of literature, aspiring writers, and lovers of storytelling.

  A Book of the Year in The Times, Guardian, Independent, New Statesman, Bookseller and at Waterstones 
  'He understands only the women he invents – the others not at all' 
  Thomas Hardy is one of the most beloved and most-read British authors. His influence on literature and the minds of his readers is singular. But how is it that the novelist who created some of the most memorable and modern female characters in literature had such troubled relationships with real women? 
  In this highly innovative book, acclaimed biographer Paula Byrne re-examines Hardy’s life through the eyes of the women who made him – mother, sisters, girlfriends, wives, muses. The story veers from shocking scenes such as his obsession with the sight of a woman hanged, to poignant vignettes of unfulfilled passion, to fascinating details of working women’s lives in the nineteenth century. 
  Hardy Women is the story of how the magnificent fictional women he invented would not have been possible without the hardship and hardiness of the real ones who shaped his passions and his imagination. It is only through understanding and witnessing these hardy women that we can truly enter the heart of this great novelist and poet. 
  Byrne, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the social history of Britain, exploring the lives of the hardy women who shaped Hardy's life and work. She presents a literary criticism of Hardy's work, focusing on his portrayal of women, and how his real-life relationships influenced his writing. 
  For fans of Lucy Worsley (Jane Austen at Home), Anne De Courcy (Snowdon), Olivia Laing (The Lonely City), Colm Tóibín (A Guest at the Feast), and Devoney Looser (The Making of Jane Austen).
