  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.

It also explores his affair with Lottie, a young, innocent housemaid who becomes both his muse and his lover.

Eliot as he grapples with love, mental health, and the demands of artistic genius.Complex Characters: From his troubled wife, Vivien, to the innocent Lottie, the characters in Tom's life are as compelling as his poetry. 
  In "A Passion for Tom," Sandra Salinas Newton masterfully portrays the transformation of Tom into T.S.
