October 1918: En route from New York to Seattle, Jessica Layton stops for a visit in her hometown of Powell Springs, Oregon, and comes face-to-face with Cole Braddock, her first and only love from years ago. Now Jessica is a highly accomplished clinical physician preparing for an exciting new job in Washington, and Cole is a successful horse breeder who is courting her sister Amy. Both are convinced they have moved beyond their youthful passion and the heartbreak it produced; nonetheless, they are grateful that Jessica’s brief visit will leave little opportunity to rehash old wounds. But before Dr. Layton can leave town, Powell Springs is hit hard by the influenza epidemic ravaging the country. With no other doctors available, Jessica must remain in Oregon and tend to her friends and former neighbors. Her work brings her in constant contact with Cole, and with each passing day he finds it harder to convince himself that mild-tempered Amy can fill his heart as Jessica once did. Set against the gritty backdrop of World War I and the epidemic of 1918, Home by Morning is a raw, compelling story of betrayal, heartbreak, and redemption.
This 1996 text was the first detailed commentary to be compiled on the fragments of the Greek comic poet Alexis. Alexis seems to have had an important effect on the development of Greek New Comedy, both in the presentation and choice of characters and in the structuring of the type of New Comedy plot associated in particular with Menander. Professor Arnott's commentary is multi-faceted, discussing textual transmission; the interpretation of Alexis's language, meaning and style; the dramatic background and its relevance to the comedy; and the relation of the material to the social and political history of the time. The commentary constitutes a significant contribution to the study of the development of comedy in the fourth century BC, and to our knowledge and precise interpretation of fourth-century Attic Greek. Since the fragments are readily available in the Kassel-Austin edition, the Greek text is not included.

Rujonkaunis romaani Aleksis Kiven kohtalonvuosista on traaginen kuvaus kirjailijasta, joka ei löydä paikkaansa maailmassa.Nälkävuosien kaataessa kansaa Alexis elää Charlotta Lönnqvistin hyväntahdon varassa Fanjunkarsin torpassa ja kirjoittaa kirjaa seitsemästä miehestä. Hän on demoniensa riivaama eikä tunne kuuluvansa joukkoon missään: ei talonpoikain työteliäässä seurassa eikä Helsingin seurapiireissä, joiden tunnustuksesta ja taloudellisesta tuesta hän on riippuvainen. Luonto, haaveet ja kirjallisuus ovat hänen kotinsa.”Täällä pitkien taivalten ja vähien lukijoiden maassa ei kirjoittajalla ole muuta kuin oma uskonsa ja hiukan niiden uskoa, jotka näkevät kauemmaksi.”
