Ellen Wood 17 January 1814 - 10 February 1887), was an English novelist, better known in that respect as Mrs. Henry Wood. She is remembered most for her 1861 novel East Lynne, but many of her books became international bestsellers and widely known in the United States. She surpassed the fame of Charles Dickens in Australia Ellen Price was born in Worcester in 1814. In 1836 she married Henry Wood, who worked in the banking and shipping trade in Dauphin in the South of France, where they lived for 20 years. On the failure of Wood's business, the family (including four children) returned to England and settled in Upper Norwood near London, where Ellen Wood turned to writing. This supported the family (Henry Wood died in 1866). She wrote over 30 novels, many of which (especially East Lynne) enjoyed remarkable popularity. Among the best known are Danesbury House, Oswald Cray, Mrs. Halliburton's Troubles, The Channings, Lord Oakburn's Daughters and The Shadow of Ashlydyat. Her writing tone would be described as "conservative and Christian," occasionally expressing religious rhetoric. In 1867, Wood purchased the English magazine Argosy, which had been founded by Alexander Strahan in 1865.She wrote much of the magazine herself, but other contributors included Hesba Stretton, Julia Kavanagh, Christina Rossetti, Sarah Doudney and Rosa Nouchette Carey. Wood continued as its editor until her death in 1887, when her son Charles Wood took over. Wood's works were translated into many languages, including French and Russian. Leo Tolstoy, in a 9 March 1872 letter to his older brother Sergei, noted that he was "reading Mrs. Wood's wonderful novel In the Maze". Wood wrote several works of supernatural fiction, including "The Ghost" (1862) and the often anthologized "Reality or Delusion?" (1868). At her death (caused by bronchitis), her estate was valued at over 36,000, which was then a very considerable sum. She was buried in Highgate Cemetery, London. A monument to her was unveiled in Worcester Cathedral in 1916.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Institute of Anglican and American Studies - English Literature and Cultural Studies ), course: Fragments shored against ruins: T.S. Eliots frühe Lyrik und die Enstehung der modernistischen Avantgarde, 9 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Manhattan Transfer is one of the earliest of that type of novels which has come to be known as "collectivistic". The idea is to present a cross-section of the social structure, the social organism; an "over-view" of the subject in which details of individual lives merge in the general picture of society" (Belkind 1971:61). This quotation by Allen Belkind shows that the American author John Dos Passos is not interested in individual characters and their lives in Manhattan Transfer but in how the characters solve the problems and their everyday life in a metropolis, in the city of New York. I would like to deal with Manhattan Transfer by John Dos Passos which was first published in 1925. I will start with some autobiographical facts about Dos Passos to show how he grew up and how his life influenced his works. A short summary and the numeration of stylistic features of Manhattan Transfer will lead to the depiction of the city New York as the actual protagonist of this novel. There are different social groups such as immigrants or poor and rich people described in the book. I want to deal with Ellen Thatcher and Jimmy Herf as the protagonists, and I want to show how they perceive the world. This part is the main topic of this paper. There are numerous essays about the novel Manhattan Transfer and how it deals with New York. I am going to point out the images of New York and their effects on Ellen Thatcher and Jimmy Herf. John Rodrigo Dos Passos was born in Chicago/ Illinois on January 14th 1896. He studied at Harvard University and in Spain. He used the experiences he made as ambulance driver and medic in the Great War (1914-1918). For his first novel called One Man's Initiation (1917). It was first published in 1920. His breakthrough came in 1921 with his second war novel Three Soldiers. In 1925, he published the most significant big town novel of Modernism: Manhattan Transfer. In this novel he portrays an extensive image of New York's social classes between 1890 and 1925. In the paper Facing the Chair, Dos Passos fought for the anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti who were executed after their political lawsuits . In his epochal masterpiece, USA, John Dos Passos raged in one "Camera Eye" episode:
Denna avhandling är ett bidrag till skådespelerskans yrkeshistoria. Modern europeisk skådespelarkonst hade sitt genombrott på 1800-talet i och med att populära skådespelerskor bröt upp den klassiska speltraditionen. Skådespelerskan Ellen Hartman (1860-1945) var en banbrytare i denna rörelse. Hartmans karriär undersöks framförallt mellan 1877 och 1898, men även under 1920-talet då hon gjorde en bejublad comeback. Resultaten framhåller att Hartman utmanade könsnormerna för sin tid och bidrog därmed till kvinnans emancipationsprocess i Sverige. Som skådespelerska var Hartman en föregångerska och blev därmed en pionjär för svensk modern skådespelarkonst. Hélène Ohlsson är skådespelerska, regissör och manusförfattare, utbildad vid Stockholms universitet och École Jacques Lecoq i Paris. Hon har även varit verksam som lärare i scenframställning. Detta är en doktorsavhandling i teatervetenskap vid Stockholms universitet 2018.
»Levande och rörande.« Expressen »när kommer nästa bok?« - Dagens Nyheter De sågs endast en handfull gånger, men deras kärlekshistoria sträckte sig genom livet. Det var i breven Ellen Key och Urban von Feilitzen möttes, i tankarna om filosofi, konst och samhälle. Hon blev en av centralgestalterna i sin tids intellektuella kretsar; han fortsatte att befinna sig i periferin, insnärjd i det familjeliv hon aldrig fick. Präglade av det radikala 1880-talet drömde de om en ny syn på äktenskapet och kärleken, men i praktiken blev de kvar i invanda mönster. Anneli Jordahl skildrar den dramatiska brevrelationen, men också Ellen Keys visioner och längtan, som även formas i de livsavgörande relationerna med Victoria Benedictsson och Malin Blomsterberg. Är det möjligt att leva fritt, ärligt och samtidigt tillsammans med andra? Jag skulle vara din hund (om jag bara finge vara i din närhet) utgavs första gången 2009. Det är Anneli Jordahls hyllade debutroman. »Lysande.« - Dala-Demokraten »Fram träder här en fullfjädrad romantext, rik på nyanser och bottnar, utan pekpinnar, men med öppet sinne för det mänskliga i historien och hur den turneras.« - Östersunds-Posten
