Summary

Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21st in a Chicago suburb.  Much of his work bestrides the best literature of the 20th Century.  Indeed 1954 saw him win the Nobel Prize for Literature.  Classics such as A Farewell To Arms, The Old Man & The Sea and The Sun Also Rises are on most ‘must read’ lists.  Ultimately his life spiralled out of his control and he committed suicide in the summer of 1961.  Here we publish a small collection of his poems and 3 three short stories.
Available since: 01/07/2014.

    In Who is Sylvia?, which premiered in the West End in 1950, where it ran for over a year, Rattigan seems to be offering a bittersweet portayal of his father - and maybe of his own frustrated love life.
Also included in this volume is Duologue, a play for one actress originally written for television and appearing here for the first time in print. It was broadcast in 1968 and subsequently staged in 1976 in a double bill with The Browning Version.

    The Nobel Prize–winning author created the words for this unique play about religion in the twentieth century. 
 
The choruses in this pageant play represent a new verse experiment on Mr. Eliot’s part; and taken together make a sequence of verses about twice the length of “The Waste Land.” 
 
Mr. Eliot has written the words; the scenario and design of the play were provided by a collaborator, and the purpose was to provide a pageant of the Church of England for presentation on a particular occasion. The action turns upon the efforts and difficulties of a group of London masons in building a church. Incidentally, a number of historical scenes, illustrative of church-building, are introduced. The play, enthusiastically greeted, was first presented in England, at Sadler’s Wells; the production included much pageantry, mimetic action, and ballet, with music by Dr. Martin Shaw. 
 
Immediately after the production of this play in England, Francis Birrell wrote in The New Statesman: “The magnificent verse, the crashing Hebraic choruses which Mr. Eliot has written had best be studied in the book. The Rock is certainly one of the most interesting artistic experiments to be given in recent times.”  
 
The Times Literary Supplement also spoke with high praise: “The choruses exceed in length any of his previous poetry; and on the stage they prove the most vital part of the performance. They combine the sweep of psalmody with the exact employment of colloquial words. They are lightly written, as though whispered to the paper, yet are forcible to enunciate . . . . There is exhibited here a command of novel and musical dramatic speech which, considered alone, is an exceptional achievement.”
