The New Statesman
Author: Diana of Dobson's
Author: Cicely HamiltonPublisher: Broadview Press
ISBN: 9781551113425
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Very successful when first performed in London in 1908, Diana of Dobson’s introduces its audience to the overworked and underpaid female assistants at Dobson’s Drapery Emporium, whose only alternative to their dead-end jobs is the unlikely prospect of marriage. Although Cicely Hamilton calls the play “a romantic comedy,” like George Bernard Shaw she also criticizes a social structure in which so-called self-made men profit from the cheap labour of others, and men with good educations, but insufficient inherited money, look for wealthy wives rather than for work. This Broadview edition also includes excerpts from Hamilton’s autobiography Life Errant (1935) and Marriage as a Trade (1909), her witty polemic on “the woman question”; historical documents illustrating employment options for women and women’s work in the theatre; and reviews of the original production of the play.

"Man is not measured by his genes, but rather how those genes stand against society's expectations." In the years following the destruction of Mount Olympus, the heroes of the day were housed in the Dark Continent of Africa. Among them, two boys will set out on an adventure of epic proportions. Facing off with mythological beasts, social injustices, and the growing pains associated with normal human development, the two boys will form a bond that transcends their achievements. However, when tragedy strikes on the eve of the most important day in one boy's life, even the Gates of Hell will be unable to restrain his fury. A tragic hero and a patriarch, these boys will become the stuff of legend in a time when all of their obstacles are legendary.
