  A Broken Trust - From their pens...

  Elizabeth Corbett

  Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett was born on the 16th August 1846 at Standishgate, near Wigan. 
  After a good education she worked as a journalist for the Newcastle Daily Chronicle and went on to become a widespread and popular writer of adventure and society novels. 
  As a feminist writer it is a little bizarre that she published as Mrs George Corbett.  Her most ardent feminist work was ‘New Amazonia: A Foretaste of the Future,’ though other of her works were also similarly themed and dealt with one of the great issues of the day in Victorian society. 
  She married George Corbett in Sheffield in 1868.  They went on to have 4 children, of which only 3 survived. 
  As a writer she was not overly prolific but was perhaps most admired for her female detectives.  During her literary career Detective books were all the rage and authors of both sexes attempted to bring new and unusual angles of characters and narratives before the voracious public.   
  Corbett’s first was in a collection of short stories ‘Adventures of a Lady Detective featuring Dora Bell'.  A later novel introduced a further detective in the guise of Annie Cory. 
  Elizabeth Corbett died on in 1930.

  "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.

  Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" immerses readers in a world where the pursuit of beauty and pleasure supersedes morality. The young, handsome Dorian Gray remains eternally youthful, while a portrait of him reflects his soul's decay, bearing the consequences of his hedonistic actions. As Dorian navigates high society with a sinister invulnerability, his external allure contrasts starkly with his internal corruption. A haunting and philosophical tale of vanity, obsession, and the dark depths of human nature.
