Sinossi

In 'Lives of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence,' Charles Augustus Goodrich provides a meticulously crafted biographical account of the fifty-six men who risked everything to assert America's independence. With a narrative style that melds accessible prose and rich historical detail, Goodrich illuminates the diverse backgrounds, motivations, and contributions of these significant figures. Set against the backdrop of a nascent nation grappling with its identity, the book serves as both a reverent homage and a scholarly examination of the ideals that fueled the American Revolution, illuminating the characters and conflicts that shaped this pivotal moment in history. Goodrich, a prominent 19th-century American writer and historian, was deeply invested in the ideals of liberty and patriotism. Growing up during a time of burgeoning national identity, his own experiences and the historical legacy of the Revolutionary War profoundly influenced his perspective. Having previously authored works on history and morality, Goodrich's thoroughness and reverence for America's founding fathers emerge vividly in this work, inviting readers to explore the lives that contributed to the birth of a nation. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in American history, offering a blend of biographical scholarship and engaging storytelling that brings to life the extraordinary figures of the Revolutionary War. Goodrich's 'Lives of the Signers' not only preserves their legacies but also inspires contemporary readers to reflect on the values of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring struggle for freedom.

Keats Poems

John Keats

John Keats was an English poet of the second generation of Romantic poets, with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. His poems were indifferently received in his lifetime, but his fame grew rapidly after his death. By the end of the century he was placed in the canon of English literature, strongly influencing many writers of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Keats had a style "heavily loaded with sensualities", notably in the series of odes. Typically of the Romantics, he accentuated extreme emotion through natural imagery. Today his poems and letters remain among the most popular and analysed in English literature – in particular "Ode to a Nightingale", "Ode on a Grecian Urn", "Sleep and Poetry" and the sonnet "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer".

A Successful Rehearsal - From...

Anthony Hope

Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins was born on 9th February 1863 in Clapton, London.
He was educated at St John's School, Leatherhead, Marlborough College and Balliol College, Oxford. Hope trained as a lawyer and barrister and was called to the Bar by the Middle Temple in 1887. Despite what was thought to be a promising legal career he had literary ambitions and wrote in his spare time.
His early works appeared in various periodicals of the day but for his first book ‘A Man of Mark’ (1890), with no publisher interested, he published with his own resources.
More novels and short stories followed, including the mildly successful ‘Mr Witt's Widow’ in 1892. Hope even found time to run as the Liberal candidate for Wycombe in the election that same year but was unsuccessful.
His first major literary success came with ‘The Dolly Dialogues’, a collection of previously published magazine pieces followed very quickly by his instant classic, ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’. He now gave up the vestiges of his legal career to pursue writing full-time.
Despite never again reaching the same pinnacle of success he was popular and wrote prolifically across novels, plays and of course, short stories though his writing output rapidly diminished after the war.
In 1918 he was knighted for his contribution to propaganda efforts during World War I.
His short stories are delicate, mannered and often surprising with their wit, humour and interplay of characters who say one thing and usually mean another. He was very definitely a writer of escapist rather than serious fare but they are no less enjoyable for that.
Anthony Hope died of throat cancer on 8th July 1933 at his country home, Heath Farm at Walton-on-the-Hill in Surrey. He was 70.
