Gian-Luca has a rocky start in life, his mother dying in childbirth, his father unknown, and he is sent to grow up with his grandparents amongst an Italian immigrant community on Old Compton Street. He becomes a waiter, where he learns the value of hard work, and soon lands a promotion to head waiter in a fine-dining restaurant. He excels in this position, and it is not long before he meets Maddelena, to whom he gets married. It seems he has found a happy ending. However, despite his marriage to Maddelena and his achievements in his work, he finds he is not happy, after all. Life loses its joy, and he comes to despise those he serves in the restaurant, seeing in the diners the ugly side of society. Disconsolate, he sets out to seek a more fulfilling life, and becomes a hermit, trying to reconnect with nature, and hoping to find peace outside of society. Despite winning awards upon its publication, Adam's Breed sank into obscurity following the censorship of Hall's later novel The Well of Loneliness. An early example of immigrant narratives, yet still relevant today, it is time Gian-Luca's stirring tale found its way back to the canon.

Arthur O'Connor was the most important conduit between French republicanism and Irish political radicalism in the late 1790s … His State of Ireland, published in 1798, created a distinctively Irish language of radical democracy out of French sources, by fusing them with the local political tradition and Scottish political economy.' So writes editor James Livesey in his introduction to this new edition of The State of Ireland, first published in pamphlet form in 1798 by Arthur O'Connor, a prominent member of the United Irishmen. O'Connor brought to the revolutionary movement of the 1790s a mind honed on the ideas of Adam Smith – ideas that might not seem revolutionary today, but that had radical implications as adapted by O'Connor and applied to the bizarre political economy of eighteenth-century Ireland. As perhaps the most steadfastly anti-sectarian member of the United Irish movement, O'Connor viewed the vexed debates over 'Protestant liberty' and Catholic Emancipation as distractions from the fundamental questions of political and economic reform; he supported emancipation as a necessary but by no means sufficient element of a free, democratic Irish society. 'What O'Connor's work reveals to us', Livesey writes, 'is the breadth of vision within the United Irishmen and the novelty of their intervention in Irish political culture … O'Connor's text deserves to find a place in the canon of classic political texts that have constructed and made possible, or even imaginable, Irish democracy.'

Mujeres que reclaman su derecho a trabajar en un mundo de hombres, valientes guerreras indias, forajidas del Oeste americano, inmigrantes sin pelos en la lengua, heroínas atrapadas en tenebrosos bosques… Estas son algunas de las protagonistas de La nueva mujer: relatos de escritoras estadounidenses del siglo XIX. Las autoras elegidas por Gloria Fortún para esta antología —mujeres de vanguardia que desafiaron con la pluma y el papel las convenciones sociales— son el símbolo de los anhelos y luchas de una época que asistió al surgimiento del empoderamiento femenino. La nueva mujer reúne a diez escritoras que, después de haberse forjado una carrera a la sombra de un canon literario eminentemente masculino, brillan ahora con más fuerza que nunca gracias a la riqueza y diversidad de unos relatos que reflejan desde múltiples perspectivas la realidad de la condición femenina en un tiempo marcado por profundas transformaciones políticas y sociales. Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, Sarah Orne Jewett, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Sui Sin Far, Zitkala-Ša, Susan Glaspell, Harriet E. Prescott Spofford, Catharine Maria Sedgwick y Mary Austin son las diez escritoras que forman parte de un libro imprescindible para comprender el nacimiento de la "nueva mujer" en Estados Unidos durante el siglo XIX. Esta edición incluye un estudio crítico escrito por Gloria Fortún que ayuda a contextualizar la obra de cada una de las autoras seleccionadas.

Every time you open your mouth on stage you are trying to persuade somebody of something. Sometimes referred to as 'the art of persuasion', rhetoric means using language to communicate your ideas and intentions to other people – and to make sure you are heard, understood and believed. This clear and concise guide explains how it works in plays, and how actors can use it to bring their performances to life on stage. Drawing on her decades of experience working with actors on major productions, including as Head of Voice at the National Theatre, Jeannette Nelson introduces all the major rhetorical techniques and devices that playwrights use. She offers fascinating breakdowns of dialogue and speeches from across the theatrical canon – from Shakespeare and Ibsen, to Tennessee Williams, Lorraine Hansberry and Arthur Miller, right up to contemporary playwrights such as Helen Edmundson and Tanika Gupta. Each chapter also includes a series of practical exercises which combine spoken word with physical action to help you explore and understand these techniques, and harness their power in performance. Whether you're an actor, a director or a drama teacher, Keeping It Active will empower you with a greater understanding of the ways that language underpins all dramatic works, and will give you the tools you need to unlock the text, understand characters, connect with the audience, and perform with greater confidence, focus and authenticity. 'As this excellent book outlines, rhetoric is everywhere. It's not simply in the parliament, the press conference and the court; it's in the workplace, the home and the family. There's no argument, classical or modern, in a play that isn't informed and helped by Jeannette's work' Josie Rourke, from her Foreword 'A great resource for actors and directors' Ralph Fiennes 'Jeannette Nelson's revelatory relationship to language is, quite simply, life-changing' Simon Godwin 'Jeannette taught me so much... I felt like I could persuade anybody to do anything' Sophie Okonedo

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is Arthur Conan Doyle's second collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, presenting eleven more adventures originally published in 1892–1893 – and infamous for containing the account of Holmes's "death" at Reichenbach Falls. These Memoirs continue the high standard set by the first collection, with Dr. Watson recounting cases that further illuminate Holmes's genius and humanity. Among the selections: "Silver Blaze," featuring the disappearance of a racehorse and the clue of "the dog that did nothing in the night-time," one of Holmes's most famous deductions; "The Musgrave Ritual," an old family riddle that Holmes solves to uncover hidden treasure (and which Watson notes as an early case from Holmes's student days); and "The Greek Interpreter," notable for introducing Mycroft Holmes – Sherlock's older, even more intellectually gifted brother in the Diogenes Club. Tones range from comic (Holmes outwitting a conniving maid in "The Adventure of the Yellow Face," while respecting a client's sensitive secret) to sinister (the murderous betrayal in "The Resident Patient"). The collection's climax comes in "The Final Problem," where Doyle attempted to bid Holmes farewell: Holmes and arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty engage in a deadly struggle atop Switzerland's Reichenbach Falls, and Holmes apparently plunges to his doom. Watson's heartbroken narration of Holmes's demise was so impactful that Victorian London mourned a fictional character – and public pressure later compelled Doyle to resurrect Holmes. Thus, Memoirs is both a treasure trove of classic cases and a dramatic turning point in the Holmes saga. Today, it's cherished for its brilliant mysteries (the clever twist in "The Naval Treaty," for example) and for giving us Moriarty – the Napoleon of Crime – in a fittingly epic confrontation with our hero. The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes cements Holmes's legacy, leaving readers both satisfied by his accomplishments and emotionally stirred by his seeming end – a literary canon moment that still resonates.
