Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is regarded by many readers and literary critics to be THE major English novelist of the Victorian Age. He is remembered today as the author of a series of weighty novels which have been translated into many languages and promoted to the rank of World Classics. The latter include; but are not limited to; The Adventures of Oliver Twist; A Tale of Two Cities; David Copperfield; A Christmas Carol; Hard Times; Great Expectations and The Old Curiosity Shop. His talents extended to many other forms including short stories; poetry; letters and his serial magazines. Of course being such a talent he also wrote plays. We are very pleased to present his third of four plays first performed at the St. Jamesrsquo;s Theatre; March 6th; 1837; Is She His Wife

An Excellent Book on the Great Canadian Architect Arthur EricksonBy Deerpath"Arthur Erickson: An Architects Life" (year 2013) by David Stouck is an excellent and outstanding book. The great Canadian architects life from the year 1924 to the year 2009 is brilliantly presented in much detail. David Stouck; a professor emeritus of English at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby; British Columbia; Canada; knew Arthur Erickson personally and based his book on interviews with Arthur Erickson before his death. The result is a splendid account of Arthur Ericksons architecture along with the context of its development and a totally sympathetic portrait of Arthur Erickson as a man. Arthur Erickson designed Simon Fraser University; so David Stouck was fully familiar with what it was like to work in one of Arthur Ericksons buildings. Arthur Ericksons other famous buildings are discussed in detail; such as the Filberg House in Comox; British Columbia; Canada; the Eppich House One in West Vancouver; British Columbia; Canada; the University of Lethbridge in Lethbridge; Alberta; Canada; the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver; British Columbia; Canada; the Bagley Wright House in The Highlands of Seattle; Washington; U.S.A.; Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto; Ontario; Canada; the Canadian Chancery in Washington; D.C.; U.S.A.; the Eppich House Two in the British Properties of West Vancouver; British Columbia; Canada; and the Museum of Glass in Tacoma; Washington; U.S.A. I am currently finishing The Architectural Imagination online Internet course of Harvard University offered through HarvardX and edX; and David Stoucks book on Arthur Erickson provides an excellent addition to my studies.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A good read about a brilliant man. Sadly the love of his life ruined him!By Frederick BoothHis architecture was forward thinking and he was admired as the greatest architect in modern day Canada. I appreciated that the book told of his involvement with someone who ultimately ruined him financially. A sad tale in the end; but thats life. He should have left the boyfriend early on. The lavish lifestyle he brought ultimately destroyed the architect. Nice that he was acknowledged at his death for his brilliance. A bitter-sweet story.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting BiographyBy EthylVery interesting bio of the Canadian architect especially if you are familiare with his work.
