Sinopse

In "After a Shadow and Other Stories," T. S. Arthur explores the intricate interplay of morality, human frailty, and emotional depth in a collection of poignant tales. Characterized by a vivid narrative style and rich character development, Arthur delves into themes of social justice, personal redemption, and the challenges of 19th-century American life. This collection, steeped in the literary traditions of realism and domestic fiction, reflects the moralistic undertones prevalent in the era, inviting readers to ponder the consequences of vice and the redemptive power of virtue. T. S. Arthur, a prominent figure in the American literary landscape, was deeply influenced by the societal issues of his time, including temperance and moral reform. His extensive career as a writer included essays, novels, and stories that aimed to educate and elevate the moral standards of the public. Arthur's own experiences and observations of the struggles faced by the lower and middle classes in antebellum America significantly shaped his narrative voice, making this collection a reflection of both personal and societal complexities. Readers seeking a profound exploration of human nature and the ethical dilemmas that accompany it will find "After a Shadow and Other Stories" to be a compelling addition to their literary repertoire. Arthur's insight into the human condition remains relevant today, offering timeless lessons on empathy, tolerance, and the perpetual quest for a better self.

There is something about the number 3.    
 
The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
 
Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
 
Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
 
From their pens to your your ears.

Louisa MacDonald was born in 1845, one of eleven children of part Scottish descent.  Together with three of her sisters they were known as the ‘MacDonald sisters’ primarily because of their marriages to well-known men.   
 
In 1866 she married the wealthy industrialist Alfred Baldwin in a double wedding with her sister Anne.   
 
After giving birth to Stanley on the 3rd August 1867, who would go on to become Prime Minister, she drifted into an unhappy life in her then residence in Worcestershire.  She had at least one miscarriage and days alone depressed and in darkness. 
 
During the 1870’s the couple travelled to find a lasting cure and tried a variety of treatments which led to her recovery in 1883.  She now became a leading figure in her local village of Wilden, near Stourbridge. 
 
Her writing career of novels, short stories and poetry is often overlooked, as was the case with so many women, yet her works reveal many talents and a gift for melding odd and weird circumstances into seemingly everyday life.   
 
Louisa Baldwin died in 1925.
