Lessons from Literature - Stories Exploring Women's Choice in Marriage

"Being curious, learning from all of our experiences, is one of our most pleasing traits as human beings. In this series we examine particular facets of ourselves and, with the aid of many classic authors, delve into characters and stories that not only entertain us, but inform us on how short stories can help us both deal and understand issues that touch and weave into our lives with the words and narratives of many wise talents.Even in these more modern times not everyone is free to choose their partners. Nations, cultures and religions around the globe are not as inclusive as we are and we think they should be. With the insight and talents of these classic authors we are shown that even in quite recent times choice in marriage was, in essence, in the gift of others.01 - Lessons From Literature - Stories Exploring Women's Choice in Marriage - An Introduction2 - The Ice Palace by F Scott Fitzgerald3 - The Kiss by Kate Chopin4 - Second Best by D H Lawrence5 - The Unfortunate Bride or The Blind Lady a Beauty by Aphra Behn6 - Madame Rose Hanie by Khalil Gibran7 - Sister Josepha by Alice Dunbar Nelson8 - Right At Last by Elizabeth Gaskell9 - The Difference by Ellen Glasgow10 - An Outcast of the People by Bithia Mary Croker11 - The Looking Glass by Anton Chekhov12 - The Skylight Room by O Henry13 - Mrs Pierrepoint by Amy Levy14 - How the Widow Won the Deacon by William James Lampton15 - Spurs by Tod Robbins16 - A New England Nun by Mary E Wilkins Freeman17 - Two Offers by Frances Watkins Harper"

Marriage - Short Stories

"Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. By a choice of vows each undertakes to stay with the other through the good times and the bad. And most probably there will be plenty of both and much in between. But the union of marriage comes in many shades and hues, some balanced, some destined to last a lifetime and others set to fizzle out or stumble to an ill-mannered conclusion in separation or divorce and, of course, death. In this volume our literary friends take on all manner of marriages and deliver stories that reveal every face and every facet of what marriage really is.1 - Marriage - Short Stories - An Introduction2 - Bliss by Katherine Mansfield3 - Lord Arthur Savile's Crime - Part 1 by Oscar Wilde4 - Lord Arthur Savile's Crime - Part 2 by Oscar Wilde5 - The Border Line by D H Lawrence6 - The Blizzard by Alexander Pushkin7 - The Dowry by Guy de Maupassant8 - The Wife of His Youth by Charles W Chesnutt9 - Right At Last by Elizabeth Gaskell10 - The Difference by Ellen Glasgow11 - The Dream Woman by Wilkie Collins12 - The Other Woman by Sherwood Anderson13 - Red Tape by Mary Sinclair14 - Two Offers by Frances Watkins Harper15 - The Star by W F Harvey16 - The Revolt of Mother by Mary Wilkins E Freeman17 - Foreordained by Anthony Hope18 - Odour of Chrysanthemums by D H Lawrence"
