Morgan: Three Plays

The Flashing Stream; The River Line; The Burning Glass

By: Charles Morgan

Includes the plays The River Line, The Flashing Stream and The Burning Glass Charles Morgan was a distinguished novelist before he moved onto stage drama, with his reputation as a major dramatist established by his first play, The Flashing Stream. Morgan was unique for combining the roles of principal dramatic critic of The Times withthat of a practicing dramatist. The Daily Herald wrote that The Flashing Stream would ‘indefinitely refute the old idea about the gulf between our preaching and the practice’. It was hailed as ‘a masterpiece’ by the Manchester Guardian, and also drew praise from The Telegraph who noted that ‘it handles a major problem of humanity with passion and intelligence’. The combination of serious themes with dramatic tension and masterly craftsmanship was continued in his other plays, The River Line and The Burning Glass, which are also included in this collection. The River Line was revived in the West End in Oct 2011, at the Jermyn Street Theatre.

Grand Conception

By: Charles Morgan

This is the first book in the Morning Bliss trilogy. The multinational corporations have long since snapped office tower from carpark, slithered into the rising waters of global warming and evolved into magnificent living creatures. These now inhabit the great ocean, with their human staff as crew and responsible for their reproduction. Skiff, naive, wildly adventurous and feckless, works as a wage slave - fixed plant operator (oars) - in the huge young male battleship Kincazion. Hordes of battle-mad admirals, bosuns, and all types of bicep-geoffrey also inhabit this city-sized ship. Anthem, a bright and forceful young woman, blue haired, dark skinned and impossibly beautiful, lives in the vast female cathedral Mahandaahl. There she studies at the University of Engineering, an institution mainly devoted to dogmatic rote learning and deportment. She has ambitions in shipbuilding and hopes to get a job with the Committee of Dialectical Purity, which has the task of building the Cathedral's babies. Skiff escapes and, with the vile Ploode after him, aspires to be an admiral while Anthem manages to see through the rigid conformity that has suffocated the cathedral. Together they aim to get the battleship to make love to the cathedral and conceive a baby ship

Miss Morgan's Book Brigade

By: Janet Skeslien Charles

The New York Times and internationally bestselling author of the “captivating, richly drawn” (Woman’s World) The Paris Library returns with a brilliant new novel based on the true story of Jessie Carson—the American librarian who changed the literary landscape of France. 1918: As the Great War rages, Jessie Carson takes a leave of absence from the New York Public Library to work for the American Committee for Devastated France. Founded by millionaire Anne Morgan, this group of international women help rebuild devastated French communities just miles from the front. Upon arrival, Jessie strives to establish something that the French have never seen—children’s libraries. She turns ambulances into bookmobiles and trains the first French female librarians. Then she disappears. 1987: When NYPL librarian and aspiring writer Wendy Peterson stumbles across a passing reference to Jessie Carson in the archives, she becomes consumed with learning her fate. In her obsessive research, she discovers that she and the elusive librarian have more in common than their work at New York’s famed library, but she has no idea their paths will converge in surprising ways across time. Based on the extraordinary little-known history of the women who received the Croix de Guerre medal for courage under fire, Miss Morgan’s Book Brigade is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, the power of literature, and ultimately the courage it takes to make a change.

African Americans and ROTC

Military, Naval and Aeroscience Programs at Historically Black Colleges, 1916-1973

By: Charles Johnson, Jr.

This work covers Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) detachments at historically African American colleges and universities throughout the United States from the inception of the Student Army Training Corps to the advanced programs currently in place. The armistices following World War I allowed for ROTC programs to be set up, World War II saw a push for recruits, and American participation in Vietnam made use of black soldiers more than ever. Despite African American participation in the military in war and peace, it took nearly 60 years for black collegiate education institutions (around 1973) to fulfill their need for Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC programs producing commissioned officers. The book discusses the beginnings of the ROTC programs at African American colleges with the Student Army Training Corps and the establishment, expansion and reorganization of the programs that followed. The acquisition of Air Force and Navy ROTC programs are discussed and all the revisions to the various programs thereafter, including opening them up to women.
