'Wuthering Heights & Jane Eyre' captures the profound intensity of romantic and gothic storytelling through the lauded works of Emily and Charlotte Brontë. This anthology juxtaposes the raw emotional energy of 'Wuthering Heights' with the complex moral and psychological depths of 'Jane Eyre', providing an unparalleled look into the revolutionary female perspectives that these novels embody. The collection highlights the diversity in narrative style and thematic execution, demonstrating a shared but distinct confrontation with societal norms, nature's tempestuous elements, and the inner tumult of their characters. The sheer power and innovative approach in these texts mark them as landmark works in the canon of English literature. The Brontë sisters, hailing from the secluded parsonage of Haworth in Yorkshire, brought forth these novels against the backdrop of their constrained Victorian environments. Both works resonate with themes of isolation, resistance against tyranny, and the quest for freedom through starkly different plots and protagonists. Distinct yet harmonious, these narratives reflect the era's burgeoning feminist ideologies and the dawning awareness of personal autonomy, illustrating the sisters' subtle critique of the place and expectations of women in their time. For enthusiasts of classic literature and first-time readers alike, this anthology offers a rare simultaneous exploration of two masterpieces by the Brontës. Delving into this collection promises not only a deepened appreciation of 19th-century literature but also an engaging examination of themes like love, morality, and rebellion against societal constraints. 'Wuthering Heights & Jane Eyre' serves as a vital literary conduit, through which the harmonized yet distinct voices of the Brontë sisters continue to resonate, educating and inspiring generations of readers.

"A Study in Scarlet" is a detective mystery novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, introducing his new characters, "consulting detective" Sherlock Holmes and his friend and chronicler, Dr. John Watson, who later became two of the most famous characters in literature. Conan Doyle wrote the story in 1886, and it was published the following year. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes to Doctor Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his "study in scarlet": "There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it." (A "study" is a preliminary drawing, sketch or painting done in preparation for a finished piece.) The story, and its main characters, attracted little public interest when it first appeared. Only 11 complete copies of Beeton's Christmas Annual 1887 are known to exist now and they have considerable value. Although Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories featuring Holmes, "A Study in Scarlet" is one of only four full-length novels in the original canon. The novel was followed by "The Sign of the Four", published in 1890. "A Study in Scarlet" was the first work of detective fiction to incorporate the magnifying glass as an investigative tool.

This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame narrative. It follows Marlow as he recounts, from dusk through to late night, his adventure into the Congo to a group of men aboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary.

Although the river is never specifically named, readers may assume it is the Congo River, in the Congo Free State, a private colony of King Leopold II. Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver; however, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization in a cover up.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona - William Shakespeare - The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a comedy by William Shakespeare from early in his career. It has the smallest cast of any of Shakespeare's plays, and is the first of his plays in which a heroine dresses as a boy. It deals with the themes of friendship and infidelity. The highlight of the play is considered by some to be Launce, the clownish servant of Proteus, and his dog Crab, to whom "the most scene-stealing non-speaking role in the canon" has been attributed.

He was was a medievalist scholar and provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905–18), and of Eton College (1918–36).
