Audiobooks by Susan Glaspell

"In a quiet farmhouse, the ordinary folds into the unseen. A Jury of Her Peers turns a simple domestic scene into a mirror of justice, conscience, and the unspoken weight of women's lives. With spare, careful strokes, Susan Glaspell reveals how silence can testify and how understanding sometimes takes root where authority fails. A landmark short story of early feminist fiction, it remains haunting not for what is said — but for what is noticed."

Susan Glaspell (Author), Peter Coates (Narrator)

Wonder Of Women - Murder Stories

"Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told. Many did.But whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms. However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need. Narratives had new ideas. Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.The women included here are talents that dazzle. Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top. Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed. 1 - Women of Wonder - Murder - An Introduction2 - The Murder In Saltashe Woods by Baroness Orczy3 - A Jury of Her Peers by Susan Glaspell4 - In The Dark by Edith Nesbit5 - Was It An Illusion.

The Foundations of Fiction - Modernism

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. It’s a reality that the term ‘modernism’ was first used for stories well over a century ago. Like fine wines they have aged remarkably well. In this volume the talents of Virginia Woolf, F Scott Fitzgerald, Katherine Mansfield, James Joyce are testament to the craft, imagination and literary chops these authors have brought to prose in one of its most enduring literary movements. 01 - Foundations of Fiction - Modernism - An Introduction2 - Bliss by Katherine Mansfield3 - Bernice Bobs Her Hair by F Scott Fitzgerald4 - The Legacy by Virginia Woolf5 - The Dead by James Joyce6 - Here We Are by Dorothy Parker7 - Odour of Chrysanthemums by D H Lawrence8 - If I Were A Man by Charlotte Perkins Gilman9 - Tomorrow by Eugene O'Neill10 - Friday by Zona Gale11 - The Defense of Strikerville by Damon Runyon12 - Rooms by Gertrude Stein13 - The Mark on the Wall by Virginia Woolf14 - The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield15 - Eveline by James Joyce16 - His Smile by Susan Glaspell17 - A Cullenden of Virginia by Thomas Wolfe18 - Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield19 - The Golden Honeymoon by Ring Lardner20 - Winter Dreams by F Scott Fitzgerald21 - Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf22 - Ariel's Triumph by Booth Tarkington23 - Speed by Sinclair Lewis24 - Araby by James Joyce25 - The Ice Palace by F Scott Fitzgerald26 - The Fly by Katherine Mansfield27 - White Bread by Zona Gale28 - A Dill Pickle by Katherine Mansfield"

The Whodunit is one of the great themes of literary fiction. We all believe that given the right clue at the right time we can deduce and logically unmask the killer. Unfortunately, our authors are not the most helpful of co-workers in this regard. With their more than liberal use of plot twists, red herrings and McGuffins they merrily ensure that the only one who really knows is them and them alone until it is time to reveal who really did the deed, and how.01 - Foundations of Fiction - Murder Mystery - An Introduction2 - The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe3 - Markheim by Robert Louis Stevenson4 - A Thousand Deaths by Jack London5 - The Trial for Murder by Charles Dickens6 - A Jury of Her Peers by Susan Glaspell7 - Better Dead by J M Barrie8 - The Cone by H G Wells9 - The Hounds of Fate by Saki10 - The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railroad by Baroness Emmuska Orczy11 - The Moonlit Road by Ambrose Bierce12 - The Corpse Light by J E Preston Muddock writing as Dick Donovan13 - A Thing That Glistened by Frank R Stockton14 - Nightmare in Yellow by Fredric Brown15 - Was It An Illusion.
