Best known today for his long novella Zwischen Himmel und Erde, Otto Ludwig (1813-1865) also aspired to be a successful dramatist. In order to improve his skills, he undertook a detailed study of the plays of William Shakespeare. In 1891, Adolf Stern organized material from Ludwig's original notebooks in topical order and published it under the title of Otto Ludwigs Gesammelte Schriften, Fünfter Band. This volume presents Ida Washington's (emerita, U. of Massachusetts) English translation of that text, along with an editorial introduction.

<p>Early Stories of Dorothy Canfield - edited and with an introduction by Ida H. Washington. Long before American author Dorothy Canfield (1879-1958) won popularity and international acclaim with novels and short stories about social problems, she was writing essays and short stories in school notebooks. These early writings were never published but were kept in the archives of the University of Vermont. For scholars of American literature the early stories are important as foreshadowing of the mature author's narrative skill. For the general reader they are charming little sketches from the various environments that contributed a rich and diverse background to the experience of the mature author. Two narratives come from the years Dorothy spent in Paris with her artist mother Flavia Canfield. Two others are from rural Vermont, where Dorothy spent childhood summers with her fathers relatives. One is built on an early awareness of the human problems often hidden in larger historical events, in this case, the American Civil War. Critical material by Canfield biographer Ida H. Washington sets the stories in their historical and biographical context. Available from Cherry TreeBooks - $8.00 plus shipping.</p>
