Poems (Annotated) - Enriched Edition Love Defiance and Bohemian Modernism in Early Twentieth-Century British Women's Verse

Iris Tree

Maison d'édition: e-artnow

Synopsis

Iris Tree's Poems gathers lyrics of striking poise, emotional candour, and theatrical immediacy, poised between late Georgian song and the sharper freedoms of early modernism. The collection moves through love, solitude, mortality, beauty, and self-dramatization with a voice at once aristocratic and rebellious. Its cadences retain a traditional musical elegance, yet its images, attitudes, and psychological directness belong to the post-Edwardian world, where inherited forms are tested by modern sensibility. Tree was born into the London theatrical elite, the daughter of actor-manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, and grew up amid performance, art, and literary experiment. Her own life as poet, actress, painter's model, and bohemian figure placed her close to the avant-garde circles of the early twentieth century. That background helps explain the poems' fusion of stage-like intensity, visual precision, and unconventional femininity. This volume is recommended to readers interested in women's modernism, neglected poetic voices, and the cultural transition from Victorian aestheticism to modern self-consciousness. Poems rewards attention not only as a literary artifact but as the record of a vivid intelligence fashioning beauty from defiance.

This enriched edition has been carefully crafted to add value to your reading experience.
- Lastly, our hand‐picked Memorable Quotes distill pivotal lines and turning points, serving as touchstones for the collection's central themes.

Sir Thomas More

William Shakespeare

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if the most dangerous words in a kingdom are spoken not by rebels, but by a conscience that refuses to bend? 
 
*Sir Thomas More* is one of the most fascinating and politically charged works connected to William Shakespeare: a dramatic portrait of law, mercy, power, public disorder, and moral resistance in Tudor England. Unlike Shakespeare’s most familiar plays, this is a collaborative Elizabethan drama, originally associated with Anthony Munday and Henry Chettle and later revised by several writers, with a famous manuscript section widely attributed to Shakespeare himself. 
 
The play follows Thomas More as he rises through public life, confronts civil unrest, speaks for mercy toward strangers, and faces the terrible cost of remaining faithful to conscience when royal authority demands obedience. Its world is unstable, crowded, and dangerous: London riots, political ambition, religious pressure, and the fragile boundary between justice and power. 
 
Its cultural importance is unusual and powerful. *Sir Thomas More* is valued not only as a historical drama, but also because the surviving manuscript contains a passage known as “Hand D,” widely accepted by scholars as Shakespeare’s handwriting—possibly the only surviving literary manuscript in his own hand. 
 
This AI-narrated audiobook offers a clear, polished, and immersive listening experience, helping the listener follow the play’s political tension, historical atmosphere, moral argument, and Renaissance dramatic language with precision. 
 
Enter a world where conscience faces the state, mercy challenges fear, and power demands silence. Begin listening to *Sir Thomas More* today.

I Saw Satan at the 7-Eleven

Christopher Brett Bailey

He was dressing low-profile, but it was definitely him: red skin, horns, barbed tail, cloven hoofs, black goatee. He was unmistakable. Satan was buying soy milk and forty bucks' worth of unleaded fuel.

This audiobook is brilliantly read by the playwright himself, who also performed the story onstage in its first production at Soho Theatre.

'No one tells a story like Christopher Brett Bailey.' Guardian

'A sort of crazed neo-beatnik equivalent of Charles Dickens's celebrated recitals . . . a luridly gonzo piece of storytelling that revels in absurdist twists [and] moments of pure WTF.' Time Out

In a small town two miles north of Hell, our deadbeat narrator spots Satan filling up his red Corvette at the 7-Eleven. Satan's a washed-up has-been who's totally lost his edge . . . but when their eyes meet across the parking lot, the two embark on a torrid romance, by turns screwball, surreal, terrifying and tender.

Christopher Brett Bailey's electrifying monologue premiered at Soho Theatre, London, in April 2026.

Portions of this audiobook contain mature language. Listener discretion is advised.

'Landing blow after blow right in the kisser of literary decorum, this freewheeling freak-out proves once and for all that language is no match for counter culture's last living mutant, Christopher Brett Bailey. You aren't ready and you never will be.' LAUREN J JOSEPH

'A short sharp shock of a story, every sentence spoken is filled with something grotesque, hilarious, deeply sad or some unholy melding of all three. It's so gross! It made me very happy.' ALISON RUMFITT
