Summary

William Morris's 'Poems By The Way & Love Is Enough' is a collection of his poetry that showcases his unique blend of romanticism and social commentary. Through his lyrical and descriptive style, Morris delves into themes of love, nature, and the struggles of the working class, all intertwined with his vision of a utopian society. His use of traditional forms and meter, combined with a modern sensibility, sets these poems apart in the Victorian literary landscape. 'Poems By The Way & Love Is Enough' serves as a bridge between the Romantic and Pre-Raphaelite movements, capturing the essence of both while paving the way for the Arts and Crafts movement that Morris would later become known for. This collection is a must-read for those interested in poetry, Victorian literature, and social critique. William Morris's background as a social activist and designer serves as the foundation for the deeply political undertones that run throughout the poems, making them both beautiful and thought-provoking.

    An exciting, fresh and accessible adaptation of Dostoyevsky's masterful novel.
Starving, destitute student Raskolnikov is surrounded by the harsh injustices of the world: the grime of poverty and prostitution, unscrupulous pawnbrokers chasing debts, and a sister about to marry someone she doesn't love to keep her family alive. His guilt is unbearable. Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, can offer any chance of redemption.
As Raskolnikov enters a dangerous cat and mouse game with the examining magistrate, a psychological thriller unfolds that probes how far humanity might go when driven by disillusionment and whether any crime can be justified by a higher purpose.
'Both a classic come to life and an urgent new work which develops its own style and language rather than slavishly imitating the text and it's all the better for it.' - Independent
'Powerful... To find a theatrical structure, adaptor Chris Hannan roams freely through the novel. He turns interior monologue into direct address, thins out subplots and reconfigures the sequence of events to fashion a fluid route through the story.' - Guardian
'Magnificent... a fluent, beautiful, profoundly theatrical account of one of the great stories of world literature' - Scotsman
