Felix Holt, the Radical by Flo Gibson, Fred C. Thomson, George Eliot, Kenneth Womack, William Baker
In George Eliot's classic novel about class and politics, Esther Lyon must choose between Harold Transome, a politician and the heir of Transome Court, and Felix Holt, a young radical who threatens the stability of her world. Her choice illustrates George Eliot's belief that love and moral goodness--and, incidentally, sexual passion--cannot be separated. Written in the mid-1860s, the novel is set in 1832, just after the passing of the Reform Bill in England. According to Eliot, who worked rapidly on the book despite her various physical ailments at the time, she wished to explore in this story what determination can do in the face of despair .

And it asks the question, Was Stephanie Dupont ever really, a little girl, a five-year-old nymphet in patent leather spikes?

The Clothes They Stood Up in
Alan Bennett`s drolly serious tale is about Mr. and Mrs. Ransome, who return home to find that every single thing they own has been stolen. They respond in differing ways: he misses his comforts, she is strangely exhilarated at being stripped of her belongings. As she reaches out to people, he retreats, until a surprise ending sorts things out. Alan Bennett, best known as a playwright, is known for his acerbic comedy and his insight into the failings of our affluent society.
