The Proposal is a one act comic farce by Anton Chekhov. In Chekhov's Russia, marriage was a means of economic stability for most people. They married to gain wealth and possessions.

Title: Brittains Ida or Venus and Anchises

Author: Edmund Spenser

Narrator: Thomas A. Copeland

Length: 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2/11/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Publisher's Summary:

While hunting, the boy Anchises stumbles upon Venus's forest retreat and is so kindly entertained by the goddess that he becomes the proud father of Aeneas, the hero of Vergil's Aeneid. The poem is an epyllion like Marlowe's "Hero and Leander" and Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis," a short erotic poem with a mythological subject. The style is Spenserian, the stanzas rhyming ababbccc.

When Brittain's Ida was published in 1628, the publisher ascribed it to Edmund Spenser. However, in 1926 Ethel Seaton discovered and published Fletcher's original manuscript, whose opening stanzas make clear that this is the work of Fletcher, who entitled it "Venus and Anchises." - Summary by T. A. Copeland

Title: Mr H

Author: Charles Lamb

Narrator: LibriVox Volunteers

Length: 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Publisher's Summary:

Mr H is a farce that was first performed at Drury Lane in 1806. The plot is slender and revolves around a single rather feeble joke, but the characters are skilfully drawn and the sharp observations of contemporary fashion do much to divert the listener from the weakness of the central theme. More a comedy of manners rather than a true farce, this short play is best enjoyed as a gentle romp through the eccentricities of the Regency period. (Summary by Algy Pug)

Title: Shakespeare Monologues Collection vol. 08

Author: William Shakespeare

Narrator: LibriVox Volunteers

Length: 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Publisher's Summary:

LibriVox readers present the eighth collection of monologues from Shakespeare's plays. Containing 20 parts. William Shakespeare (April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616) remains widely to be considered the single greatest playwright of all time. He wrote in such a variety of genres - tragedy, comedy, romance, &c - that there is always at least one monologue in each of his plays. Some of these teach a lesson, some simply characterize Shakespeare at his best, some are funny, some sad, but all are very moving. Each monologue will touch everybody differently. Some people will be so moved by a particular monologue that they will want to record it. (summary by Shurtagal)
