Jack Gelber: Consider This explores the works of American playwright Jack Gelber (1932–2003), whose groundbreaking, immersive play The Connection (produced by The Living Theatre in 1959) served as the link between the Art Theatre/Beat Generation and the Off-Off-Broadway movement.With The Connection, Gelber provided a Pirandellian framework in which actors playing junkies demonstrated what it was like to wait for a fix. This play forever cemented Gelber’s status in the American theater, and yet his subsequent works have been overlooked. This study, the first monographlength work dedicated to Gelber’s plays, will consider Jack Gelber’s theatrical works as important social humanist absurdist parables that force the audience to consider how the systems we create are flawed, to the extent that some addictions are permissible (even championed), and how we have an obligation to recognize that our social structures are upheld by, to use Gelber’s word, “phonies.” Gelber provides no easy answers. Rather, his plays attempt to shake audiences out of passive spectatorship both in the theater and (as is the hope) in their lives. The plays of Gelber will be analyzed closely, supplemented (where possible) with critical reactions to the plays as produced, while contextualizing each work within its own socioeconomic moment.This book will appeal to scholars, professors, students, and other historians who have an interest in American playwriting.

Sleeper was the editor of The Boston Mercantile Journal, later The Boston Journal from 1834 to 1854.
""I say, you fellows, look here What do you think of this? It's our lunch " "This" was a large basket, lined with a white cloth, at the bottom of which lay nine bread-pills. Nine boys looked down at them in rueful disgust, and then across the school-room to where a larger group stood chuckling mischievously, their hands and mouths filled with tempting, crusty hunches, carved from the loaf according to fancy."

John (‘Jack’) Scott Youll (June 1897- 27 October 1918) was a colliery electrician from a small village near Hartlepool, County Durham, before volunteering for the Army in 1915. Joining 1st Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers, he showed early promise and was selected for officer training. He first saw action on the Western Front and was mentioned in dispatches for his conduct during the heavy fighting around Polygon Wood in the Third Battle of Ypres. But it was after redeployment to Italy that he earned the Victoria Cross for his exceptional valour and leadership near Asiago, during the Third Battle of the Piave. The medal citation for 2nd Lieutenant Youll describes how throughout the fighting ‘his complete disregard of personal safety and very gallant leading set a magnificent example to all’. This was during an extended action which included his single-handedly charging an Austrian machine gun post that had his unit pinned down, killing most of the crew and turning the weapon on the enemy. Tragically, Lieutenant Youll VC was killed soon after during the Battle of Vittorio Veneto, the final battle of the Italian campaign, just twenty-four hours before the ceasefire on this front and a mere fortnight before the end of the wider war. Jack Youll’s example of dutiful service, leadership and courage has hitherto received little recognition beyond a dignified graveyard memorial in his hometown. This well-researched and detailed account, written by his relative , Nina Youll, and historian Paul Chrystal, provides at last a fitting testimonial to a true hero of the Great War.
