Synopsis

In 'It Pays to Advertise: A Farcical Fact in Three Acts', the authors craft a vibrant tapestry of witty dialogue and comedic situations that explore themes of ambition, consumerism, and identity. This anthology masterfully navigates the boundaries between farce and reality, offering a robust collection that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. The works within the collection are a testimony to the genius of farcical comedy, providing both a snapshot of early 20th-century theatrical humor and a timeless critique of the advertising industry's influence on modern society. Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter Hackett, notable playwrights of their time, bring to this work a wealth of experience in crafting engaging and humorous stories that resonate with readers and audiences alike. Their collective efforts capture the cultural zeitgeist and ironies of an era marked by rapid industrialism and consumerism. This anthology aligns itself with cultural and literary movements that critique the burgeoning advertising industry, bringing forth voices that challenge and entertain through satire. This collection presents a compelling invitation to readers eager to explore the complexities of comedic storytelling. It fosters a rich dialogue between the differing styles and perspectives of its contributors, urging readers to reconsider their perceptions of both the advertising world and the genre of farce itself. It is an invaluable resource for those interested in early 20th-century literature, offering fresh insights and a delightful medley of narratives that continue to engage and entertain.

    Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
     
    Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
     
    In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history. 
     
    England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature.  Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy.  These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art.  Genius is written in their names. 
     
    This long limb of England pushes into the Atlantic yet from its ancient past until today its creative contribution is woven in gloried threads into the culture of the whole Nation.
