  A Pair of Silk Stockings - From...

  Kate Chopin

  Katherine O'Flaherty was born on the 8th February 1850 in St Louis, Missouri to parents of French and Irish descent. 
  At age 5, she was sent to the Sacred Heart Academy and, apart from a 2 year period at home when her father died, remained there until graduating in 1868.  Whilst there she began writing and became an avid reader of almost anything that crossed her path.   
  Kate married Oscar Chopin in 1870 and the couple moved to New Orleans, and later to the rural setting of Cloutierville, Louisiana to raise their 6 children.  
  In 1882 her husband died leaving her in a deep trench of debt.  Despite her best efforts to turn the businesses around they were sold, and she moved the family back to St Louis and the financial help of her mother.  Sadly, her mother died within the year.  Kate, now struggling with depression, pushed herself to write and gained a local reputation as a writer of short stories that captured the local color and vibrancy of her surroundings. 
  By the early 1890’s her short stories were published nationally.  With this widespread audience also came negative reviews, controversy, and cries of immorality as themes such as interracial relationships, the rights of women and other burning issues of the day were written about. 
  Despite the criticism, which unnerved her, she continued to write though in the main her works, around 100 short stories and two novels, were not attributed with any literary worth. 
  Kate Chopin died from a brain haemorrhage in St Louis Missouri on the 22nd of August 1904.  She was 54. 
  For much of the 20th Century her work was forgotten and out of print.  It was only in early 1970’s, with the rise of feminism and the call for a more just society that she was given the status her works had long described and shone a literary light at.  She is now safely revered as one of America’s great authors.

  To the Lighthouse

  Virginia Woolf

  "Reality, she thought, could not be contained; it flowed like the waves against the shore."
  
  To the Lighthouse (1927) is one of the most moving masterpieces of modernist literature, a ground-breaking novel that dives deep into the exploration of memory, family, longing and the fragile nature of time.
  
  The novel revolves around the Ramsay family and their guests across two summer visits to their holiday home on the Isle of Skye, one before and one after the First World War. Through shifting perspectives and the flow of consciousness, the author captures the beauty of everyday moments—a gesture, a glance, a passing thought—and reveals how they reverberate across time. As children play and adults converse, paint, and reflect, perspectives shift and relationships change in this captivating blend of reminiscence, social critique, and insightful exploration of the human capacity for change.
  Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A pioneering modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her use of innovative literary techniques and influence on feminist criticism. Born in London to a literary family, she became a prominent figure in the Bloomsbury Group, surrounded by intellectuals and artists who shaped her views on feminism and society. Woolf's notable works, including Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and Orlando, explore themes such as identity, time, and the complexities of human relationships. Her writings have left a lasting legacy, positioning her as a vital voice in 20th-century literature and feminism.

  The Woodlanders

  In this classically simple tale of the disastrous impact of outside life on a secluded community in Dorset, Hardy narrates the rivalry for the hand of Grace Melbury between a simple and loyal woodlander and an exotic and sophisticated outsider. Betrayal, adultery, disillusion, and moral compromise are all worked out in a setting evoked as both beautiful and treacherous.
  The Woodlanders, with its thematic portrayal of the role of social class, gender, and evolutionary survival, as well as its insights into the capacities and limitations of language, exhibits Hardy's acute awareness of his era's most troubling dilemmas.

  Child's History of England A...

  A Child's History of England is a book by Charles Dickens. It first appeared in serial form in Household Words, running from 25 January 1851 to 10 December 1853. Dickens also published the work in book form in three volumes: the first volume on 20 December 1851, the second on 25 December 1852 and the third on 24 December 1853. Although the volumes were published in December, each was postdated the following year. Dickens dedicated the book to "My own dear children, whom I hope it may help, bye and bye, to read with interest larger and better books on the same subject". The history covered the period between 50 BC and 1689, ending with a chapter summarising events from then until the accession of Queen Victoria.[2] In a letter to his friend Douglas William Jerrold, Dickens confessed that he was composing the book so that he could prevent his children from embracing conservatism: I am writing a little history of England for my boy...For I don't know what I should do, if he were to get hold of any conservative or High Church notions; and the best way of guarding against any such horrible result is, I take it, to wring the parrots' neck in his very cradle."A Child's History was included in the curricula of British schoolchildren well into the 20th century, with successive editions published from 1851 to World War II.
