Summary:

During the Victorian era the publishing of magazines and periodicals accelerated at a phenomenal rate. This really was mass market publishing to a hungry audience eager for literary sustenance. Many of our greatest authors contributed and expanded their reach whilst many fledging authors also found a ready source for their nascent works and careers.Amongst the very many was 'The Yellow Book'. Although titled as 'An Illustrated Quarterly' it was sold as a cloth-bound hardback and within were short stories, essays, poetry, illustrations and portraits. It was edited by the American author Henry Harland, who also contributed, and its art editor was no less that the formidable Aubrey Beardsley, the enfant terrible of illustration.Its yellow cover and name gave it an association with the risqué and erotic yellow covered works published in France. It was a visual shorthand for ideas that would push many boundaries of Society to more open interpretations. Being complete in each volume and slightly aloof it stayed away from serialised fiction and advertisements. Within each lavishly illustrated edition were literary offerings that included works by such luminaries as Henry James, H G Wells, W B Yeats, Edith Nesbit, George Gissing and many others from the ascetic and decadent movements of the time. The other notable inclusion was women both as contributors and amongst its editing staff, which was at odds with the then patriarchal gender norms. Although it only survived for 13 issues its reach and influence were second to none.

Summary:

Leonid Nikolaievich Andreyev was born on 21st August in Oryol, Russia to a middle-class family of Polish, Ukranian and Finnish ancestry.He studied law in Moscow before working as a police-court reporter for a daily newspaper. His literary efforts at this time were confined to poetry and those he did try to get published were all rejected. In 1898 his first short story 'Bargamot and Garaska', published in the 'Kurier' newspaper caught the attention and friendship of Maxim Gorky. Andreyev now discarded any other career path apart from that of author.His first collection of short stories appeared in 1901 and sold over a quarter of a million copies. He was a sensation. Using his interest in psychology and psychiatry gave him an almost unrivalled ability to delve into the human psyche and create astonishing characters.During the first Russian revolution Andreyev was a staunch defender of democratic ideals and many of his stories reflected the heated mood of the times. With the 1905 Revolution's failure his work became pessimistic and despairing. By the beginning of the following decade he began losing his audience to new literary movements such as the Futurists.He published little after 1914 except political writings, instead working as the literary editor of the 'Russian Will' newspaper. When the Bolsheviks took power he sensed catastrophe was coming and moved to Finland where he spent his last years in poverty distraught at the outcome of the Revolution.Leonid Andreyev died of heart failure on 12th September 1919 at the age of 48 in Mustamäki, Finland.His classic story 'Lazarus' brilliantly tells the story of Christ's disciple, forced to wander the earth for all time it is both chilling and heart-breaking in its Russian setting.

Summary:

Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on 4th July 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts, a town synonymous with the earlier Salem Witch Trials. It was instrumental in Hawthorne's later use of American Gothic and dark romanticism in his writing.He was a mere four years old when his father died and his mother took him and his two sisters to live with her family and then on to their own home in Raymond, Maine. The young Hawthorne had a passion for fiction and poetry and voraciously read the works of Ann Radcliffe, Henry Fielding and Lord Byron. He was sent to college at his maternal uncle's insistence. During these years he met and befriended Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and future U S president Franklin Pierce. These friendships were lifelong and to have a crucial impact on his writings and career. At college Hawthorne had made attempts at writing short stories and essays but without opportunities to publish. It was only in 1828 that he finally published his novel 'Franshawe' to little success and so he began work as editor for the American Magazine of Useful and Entertaining Knowledge. Hawthorne's short stories were first published in magazines but in 1837 were collected and published as 'Twice-Told Tales'. A steady literary career still did not come his way and so he worked in a good position at Salem's port and married the love of his life Sophia Peabody. They moved to live in 'The Old Manse' at Concord, Massachusetts. Finally. in 1850 came spectacular literary and commercial success with 'The Scarlet Letter' followed by 'The House of the Seven Gables' the following year. In 1852, Hawthorne published a biography of presidential candidate Franklin Pierce. After Pierce's victory he was appointed consul in Liverpool, a position that offered prestige, money and fame. At the end of this appointment he returned several times to Europe before settling in Massachusetts and resuming writing and publication.During the early 1860's his health declined and on 19th May 1864 during a trip to Plymouth, New Hampshire. He was 59 and was buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts.1 - Nathaniel Hawthorne - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction2 - Doctor Heidegger's Experiment by Nathaniel Hawthorne3 - The Birthmark by Nathaniel Hawthorne4 - Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne5 - Rappaccini's Daughter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Summary:

Stephen Crane was born 1st November, 1871 in Newark, New Jersey and was the eighth surviving child out of fourteen. Incredibly he began writing at the age of four and was published several times by the age of sixteen. Crane only began a full-time education when he was nine but quickly mastered the grades needed to catch up and move forward. Although educated at Lafayette and Syracuse he had little interest in completing university and was keener to move on to a career, declaring college to be 'a waste of time'. By twenty he was a reporter and two years later had published his debut novel 'Maggie: A Girl of the Streets'. In literary circles this was hailed as the first work of American literary Naturalism. Two years later, in 1895, he was the subject of worldwide acclaim for his Civil War novel, written without the benefit of any actual war experiences, 'The Red Badge of Courage'. It was indeed a masterpiece and his finest hour. A year later life began its downwards descent when he became embroiled in a scandal which was to doom his career. In attempting to help a suspected prostitute being falsely charged by a policeman he became the target of the authorities.Later the same year en-route to Cuba as a War Correspondent he met the hotel madam Cora Taylor in Jacksonville, Florida. This was to become the defining relationship of his life. Continuing his journey, somewhere between Florida and Cuba his ship sank, and he was cast adrift for several days. Rescued, he returned to cover conflicts wherever they were situated, some as far away as Greece. For a time he lived in England with Cora, usually beyond their means, befriending fellow writers such as H G Wells and Joseph Conrad. In declining health and beset by money problems, Stephen Crane died of tuberculosis, aged a mere 28 on 5th June 5, 1900, at Badenweiler, Germany. He is buried in New Jersey.

Summary:

Francis Edward Ledwidge was born on 19th August, 1887 in the small village of Janeville in Slane, County Meath in Ireland to parents that believed strongly in education. At the age of 5 his father died and the entire family, already desperately poor, were forced into work and by 13 the young Ledwidge took whatever job was to hand-from farm hand to road labourer. Throughout this time he applied himself to his poetry writing whenever and wherever he could. His poems were published on a regular basis from the age of 14 in the Drogheda Independent, his local paper.Ledwidge was an ardent Nationalist and was well known for his Sinn Fein and trade union activism. This association got him fired from his job at the Slane copper mines, for organising a strike for better working conditions, but prompted his appointment as the Secretary to the Slane branch of the Meath Labour Union. As a poet Ledwidge found patronage from Lord Dunsany who was well known in literary circles and was offered regular funds if he did not fight in World War I. Ledwidge was originally opposed to the War but then, seeing the greater injustice of an enslaved Europe, changed his view and enlisted and fought for Lord Dunsany's regiment, part of the 10th Irish Division. He thrived in the army finding promotion, happy to be serving Ireland and continuing to write but on 31st July 1917, whilst road laying for the Battle of Ypres, a German artillery shell exploded and he was blown to pieces. He was 29.

Summary:

Tears. Sometimes our greatest comfort. Often our darkest fear that we are about to be overwhelmed by sudden and uncontrollable feelings.From misting of the eyes, through soft drizzles on cheek to cascades that would put Niagara falls to shame the event of tears comes in all shapes and sizes. There is something primordial in their arrival. We may be the only animal to actually cry and scientists in their wish to explain everything cite the simultaneous release of endorphins to help relieve the emotional stress, the physical pain, as vital to restore the sense of calm and well-being. But not everything can be explained and pigeon-holed with certainty.Our quoted authority is not the people in white coats but those with a quill, a heart and a soul that can take these feelings of love and loss and with the ink of words put to verse feelings and emotions that can be re-lived and shared by all. As they venture through depression, war, slavery to heartache and the loss of loved ones our eyes may mist and tears gently fall at what collectively we have done, have experienced, have witnessed and lost. From Owen and Dickenson to Wheatly and Hopkins our surrender to tears may not be far away. 1 - Poems to Make You Cry - An Introduction2 - Because I Liked You by A E Housman3 - Sonnet 147 by William Shakespeare4 - A Broken Appointment by Thomas Hardy5 - So We'll Go No More a Roving by Lord Byron6 - When You Are Old by W B Yeats7 - Sonnet 90 - Then Hate Me When Thou Wilt; If Ever, Now by William Shakespeare8 - I Shall Not Care by Sara Teasdale9 - Goodbye by Alun Lewis10 - The Wind's Lament by John Morris-Jones11 - Sad-Eyed and Soft and Grey by William Morris12 - The Sad Shepherd's Passion of Love by George Peele13 - How Sweet I Roam'd From Field to Field by William Blake14 - When I Have Fears by John Keats15 - The Buried Life by Matthew Arnold16 - We Wear the Mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar17 - I Am by John Clare18 - Solitude by Ella Wheeler Wilcox19 - Ode XIV - To Solitude by Joseph Warton20 - Solitude by Harold Munro21 - Disappointment by Mary E Tucker22 - A Thought For a Lonely Death Bed by Elizabeth Barrett Browning23 - Alone by Edgar Allan Poe24 - Piano by D H Lawrence25 - Infelix by Adah Isaacs Menken26 - Sonnet 66.

Summary:

Occasionally an author appears who, in a short career, emblazons a legacy so bright and so distinct, as well as popular that it is difficult to believe it is the output of only one man. Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was such a talent.Stevenson was born on 13th November 1850 in Edinburgh. Despite a late start to reading and writing he was a voracious story-teller, regularly performing yarns for all those around him. His health though was poorly, he suffered lifelong bronchial problems and was incapacitated by this and other ailments throughout his life.In Grez, France in September 1876 he met the American, Fanny Van de Grift Osbourne. She was married with children but distress and anger at her husband's infidelities led to several separations. By the time she met Stevenson she was already a promising short-story writer.In 1880 she was at last free to re marry and life, despite his health issues, was good. In the ensuing years travel and exploration would be their calling and the source of his literary inspiration.Classics flowed; in 1881 'The Body Snatcher'. In 1883 'Treasure Island', followed 3 years later by 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'. In 1890, they settled on an estate in Samoa for what would be a last great burst of writing that coincided with his political awakening as the islands moved toward inter-clan warfare as greedy outside powers stoked tensions. Over the course of his prolific career Stevenson had not only given his audience many classic novels but beautiful poetry such as 'A Child's Garden of Verses' and many short stories as with his dark classic of Christmas Day 'Markheim' (1884).Robert Louis Stevenson died at his island home at Valima in Samoa on 3rd December 1894. He was 44.
