  William Collins Books and Decca Records are proud to present ARGO Classics, a historic catalogue of classic prose and verse read by some of the world’s most renowned voices. Originally released as vinyl records, these expertly remastered stories are now available to download for the first time. 
  ‘In thee hath neither sting, knot, nor confine, For thou art all, and all things else are thine.’ 
  Two of Shakespeare’s most revered and elegiac poems. 
  In The Phoenix and the Turtle, the mythical phoenix consumes itself in fire, from the ashes of which another phoenix is born. In Shakespeare's poem, the phoenix is female and the turtle (that is, a turtledove) is male. 
  In A Lover’s Complaint, originally published with the sonnets, a young woman is overheard lamenting her betrayal by a heartless seducer. 
  All of the Shakespeare plays within the ARGO Classics catalogue are performed by the Marlowe Dramatic Society and Professional Players. The Marlowe was founded in 1907 with a mission to focus on effective delivery of verse, respect the integrity of texts, and rescue neglected plays by Shakespeare’s contemporaries and the less performed plays of Shakespeare himself. The Marlowe has performed annually at Cambridge Arts Theatre since its opening in 1936 and continues to produce some of the finest actors of their generations. 
  Thurston Dart, Professor of Music at London University and a Fellow of Jesus College Cambridge, directed the music for this production. 
  The full cast includes: Joan Hart and William Squire. 
  This top-notch production, short in length but rich in content, brings the best of European theatre to the comfort of your home. The performing prowess of the Marlowe Dramatic Society and Professional Players is evident, making each verse resonate with emotion. 
  For fans of Richard Parsons (GCSE English Shakespeare Text Guide), and Arthur Miller (Incident at Vichy).

  Fifty Shades of November - 50 of...

  The eleventh month of the Gregorian year brings the change from Autumn into Winter.  Landscapes are scrubbed of colour and all their frills, the statued forms of trees are the grammar, the structure of her ways.  Days shorten, nights lengthen and for our classic poets there is work to be done. 
   
  Across fifty poems our classic poets including Matthew Arnold, Thomas Hardy, Herman Melville, Anna Laetitia Barbauld and Alice Guerin Crist illuminate the month, the natural world and the human condition.  In their words our experiences are reshaped, our views are rethought and our place in the world made a little more sense of.

  The Milliner and the Weaver by Marie Jones
  Henrietta from Belfast and Elspeth from Dublin are unlikely comrades. The Suffragette movement binds them together, but as the question of Home Rule divides Ireland, will national politics tear them apart?
  The Lioness by Rebecca Lenkiewicz
  Elizabeth I described herself as Queen, King and Prince, thriving in a male world, and saving the country from debt and wars. Self-proclaimed wife and mother to England, her virgin status was part of her myth, as she consistently refused marriage, citing herself as already taken. Here we see Elizabeth as both a woman and a leader as she encounters John Knox, the ultimate misogynist, and Essex, her favourite.
  Handbagged by Moira Buffini
  
  For over a decade Margaret Thatcher met the Queen for a weekly audience. With all her previous Prime Ministers the Queen enjoyed a fairly informal relationship, but with Mrs Thatcher, things were different. Handbagged speculates on the relationship between these two very powerful and private women.
  
  Bloody Wimmin by Lucy Kirkwood
