In James Goldman's classic play The Lion in Winter, domestic turmoil rises to an art form.

Washington Square is a captivating short novel by Henry James, first serialized in 1880 in both Cornhill Magazine and Harpers New Monthly Magazine. This structurally straightforward tragicomedy delves into the poignant conflict between a sweet yet unremarkable daughter and her brilliant, overbearing father. Often likened to the works of Jane Austen for its elegant prose and sharp focus on familial ties, James himself was not a fan of Austen and didnt hold Washington Square in high regard. In fact, during the compilation of his New York Edition of fiction (1907-1909), he struggled to revisit it...

James Augusta Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he perfected. Other major works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (...

I have an absolute passion for narration and voice-over. It’s an unparalleled arena for fabulous imaginative creativity. I find it so exciting to be able to create pictures and emotions simply by using my voice and to share that with listeners. From a young age I was a voracious reader and would spend hours inventing character voices for whichever book I was enthralled by at the time. As a child I read Dickens, Tolkien, Eddings, Stevenson… I trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School receiving outstanding training from Voice Specialists Francis Thomas and Lynette Irving, refining my ...

Nanda Brookenham is coming of age, and thus 'coming out' in London society - which leads to complications in her family's social set in London's fin de siècle life. James presents the novel almost entirely in dialogue, an experiment that adds to the immediacy of the scenes but also creates serious ambiguities about characters and their motives. Summary by Anna Simon, adapted from Wikipedia.
