		The T. S. Eliot Page ^Votes:0 --> The T. S. Eliot Page "`I grow old... I grow old... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.` What does that mean, Mr. Marlowe?" "Not a bloody thing. It just sounds good." He smiled. "That is from the `Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.` Here's another one. `In the room women come and go/Talking of Michael Angelo.' Does that suggest anything to you, sir?" Yeah -- it suggests to me that the guy didn't know very much about women." "My sentiments exactly, sir. Nonetheless I admire T. S. Eliot very much." "Did you say, 'nonetheless'?" - The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler This is a collection of stuff about this modern American poet.(He probably would like to be called an English poet instead). As you can see, this is DEFINITELY under some major construction. I havent the time now to Read More Go to Site

Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish dramatist, literary critic, a socialist spokesman, and a leading figure in the 20th century theater. Shaw was a freethinker, defender of women's rights, and advocate of equality of income. In 1925 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Shaw accepted the honour but refused the money. "Just as the historian can teach no real history until he has cured his readers of the romantic delusion that the greatness of a queen consists in her being a pretty woman and having her head cut off, so the playwright of the first order can do nothing with Read More Go to Site

		George Bernard Shaw ^Votes:0 ENGL428 -- Major Writers -- George Bernard Shaw Shaw was a very witty satirist who loved to present people with the absurdity of their conventional way of thinking. His satires range widely over such subjects as heroism in war, physicians and their power over life and death, religion, the battle of the sexes, education, and heaven and hell. The prefaces to many of his plays, besides being examples of a wonderful prose style, are often funnier than the plays themselves. Among the plays to be read in the course: Arms and the Man, Major Barbara, The Doctors Dilemma, Androcles and the Lion, Saint Joan, and Man and Superman . The following may give you an idea of Shaws views on various subjects and of his prose style. It would be very difficult to present scenes from his plays on th Read More Go to Site

		O'Neill ^Votes:0 O'Neill Eugene O'Neill's Tao House "Of all the places Eugene O'Neill called home during his restless life, Tao (dow) House was the one that held him longest, the refuge where he wrote his last plays. In early 1937 he and Carlotta were living in a San Francisco hotel. 'No roots. No home,' Carlotta wrote as they searched for a place to live. Drawn to the privacy and climate of the San Ramon Valley, they purchased a 158-acre ranch near Danville and planned what O'Neill hoped would be his final home. "O'Neill's interest in Eastern thought and Carlotta's passion for Oriental art and decor inspired the name Tao House. Taoism is one of the great religious traditions of China. 'Tao,' generally translated as 'The Way,' is the term given to the primal reality which gives birth to the visible world. Read More Go to Site

		The Plays of Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) ^Votes:0 Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) This website grew out of my desire to have the plays of Thomas Middleton in one collection, personally edited and available on word processor. Having done that, I thought it worthwhile to take the next step and bring Middleton to the Web. One inspiration was seeing what a convenient resource there is in a Complete Online Shakespeare , which I used--along with the OED, a Bible search engine , and other resources, electronic and hard-print--to edit these plays. In editing, I've consulted quarto facsimiles and critical editions when and where available, and I've hypertexted significant textual decisions, along with glossed words and phrases; so while these editions are not refereed, a good deal of care has been taken in their preparation. The primary reason for th Read More Go to Site

		TRAVESTIES ^Votes:0 The stagecraft of Tom Stoppard Bennett seems to be showing alarming signs of irony. I have always found that irony among the lower orders is the first sign of an awakening social consciousness. -- Henry Carr in Travesties I won't pretend to be an expert on Tom Stoppard and his work, because I'm not. The impetus for this set of pages came when, prior to a performance of Arcadia at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theater, I searched the Web for Stoppard-related sites and came up with next to zip. Find a need and fill it, seize the day, insert your own cliche' here. Stoppard is extremely difficult to paraphrase, and his plots often defy easy summary. Therefore, I have attempted to provide only the sketchiest kinds of synopses. Interested parties should seek out the published editions of Read More Go to Site
