This novel was perhaps the most daring and affirmative LGBT literature of the first two decades of the 20th century in America. In this story, Bertram Cope is a young college instructor, about twenty-four years old ('certainly not a day over twenty-five'), who is pursued by men and women, both younger and older than himself. In writing this novel, Fuller had to carefuly craft his plot schemes so as not to offend the sensibilities of publishers. As a result, today's reader is left somewhat, but not entirely, confused about the precise feelings that characters develop for one another by the end of the book. Nevertheless, no publishing house would touch it, which ultimately required that Fuller go the self-publishing route.Bertram Cope's Year was the first novel by an established American writer that dealt exclusively with the subject of homosexuality. Although it did not achieve the notariety it deserved at the time, it set the tone for the increasingly open discussion of gay themes in literary form. (Introduction by James K. White)

The father, Thomas, is a rising politician until his love for a married woman changes the game while the daughter, Honora, falls in love with an English nobleman. But this is not only a love story. This novel tells about the early days of Australia, and tells the story of a whole community. It receives scholarly attention as a work about colonialism. - Summary by Stav Nisser

Types vary with the period in which they were built, but all are of interest. In this collection, which has been pictured with great care, pains have been taken to show as many different types as possible, so that the student will be able to find numerous interesting details that can be incorporated into his contemplated remodeling.'

Francis Parkman (1823-1893) has been hailed as one of America's great nineteenth century historians, along with William Prescott, John Lothrop Motley, George Bancroft, and Henry Adams. He is a master of narrative history and is most known for his 'The Oregon Trail' and his seven volume work on the history of the French and English in North America. 'Montcalm and Wolfe', the seventh and last volume of the series, covers the conflict between England and France for supremacy in the New World from 1745 to 1884. The Seven Years War (the French and Indian War in the United States) is the denouement of this 200 year struggle with General Wolfe dying on the Plains of Abraham at the moment of victory. - Summary by Richard CarpenterPreface read by Richard Carpenter; book chapter read by Brendan Stallard.Part 1: Pioneers of France in the New WorldPart 2: The Jesuits in North America in the 17th CenturyPart 4: The Old Régime in CanadaPart 5: Count Frontenac and New France under Louis XIVPart 6: Montcalm and WolfePart 7: A Half Century of Conflict

The American Crisis aka The Crisis by Thomas PAINE (1737 - 1809)
Genre(s): *Non-fiction

00:35:16 - 17 - Crisis XIII, Thoughts On The Peace, And Probable Advantages Thereof
00:52:02 - 18 - A Supernumerary Crisis: To The People Of America
A 13 pamphlet series by 18th century Enlightenment philosopher/author Thomas Paine, published between 1776 to 1783 during and immediately following the American Revolution, gathered into one volume in 1882 by Moncure D. Conway. Each essay, plus 2 inserts, bolstered the morale of the American colonists to fight hard for their independence, appealed to the English to support the colonist's cause, clarified the issues at stake, and denounced any type of negotiated peace. Replete with quotable quotes, the first pamphlet, Crisis I, begins with the now-familiar words 'THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.' Paine, an Englishman living in the colonies, signed his pamphlets anonymously as 'Common Sense.' ( Michele Fry)

Mudfog and Other Sketches by Charles DICKENS (1812 - 1870)
Genre(s): General Fiction, Short Stories
Read by: Bob Neufeld in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 01 - Public Life of Mr. Tulrumble - Once Mayor of Mudfog
00:50:25 - 02 - Full Report of the First Meeting of the Mudfog Association for the Advancement of Everything
01:44:27 - 03 - Full Report of the Second Meeting of the Mudfog Association for the Advancement of Everything
02:41:23 - 04 - The Pantomine of Life

03:18:12 - 06 - Mr. Robert Bolton: The 'Gentleman Connected With the Press'
03:31:52 - 07 - Familiar Epistle From A Parent To A Child Aged Two Years and Two Months
The Mudfog Papers was written by Victorian era novelist Charles Dickens and published from 1837-38 in the monthly literary serial Bentley's Miscellany, which he then edited. They were first published as a book as 'The Mudfog Papers and Other Sketches. The Mudfog Papers relates the proceedings of the fictional 'The Mudfog Society for the Advancement of Everything', a Pickwickian parody of the British Association for the Advancement of Science founded in York in 1831, one of the numerous Victorian learned societies dedicated to the advancement of Science. Like The Pickwick Papers, The Mudfog Papers claim affinity with Parliamentary reports, memoirs, and posthumous papers. The serial was illustrated by George Cruikshank. The fictional town of Mudfog was based on Chatham in Kent, where Dickens spent part of his youth. Mudfog was described by Dickens as being the town where Oliver Twist was born and spent his early years when the story first appeared in 'Bentley's Miscellany' in February 1837, making it a continuation of The Mudfog Papers, but this allusion was removed when the story was printed in book form. At the conclusion of his first contribution, about the mayor of the provincial town of Mudfog, Dickens explains that 'this is the first time we have published any of our gleanings from this particular source,' referring to 'The Mudfog Papers'. He also suggests that 'at some future period, we may venture to open the chronicles of Mudfog.' (Summary by Wikipedia)
