Man cave
No full textMan Cave is a novel about the façades that men construct in order to escape their lives. Pete, a suburban professional with a family, is desperately trying to construct a “man cave,” a getaway in his basement where he can cool off from the pressures of modern life. Andy, a disturbed, alcoholic carpenter, is obsessed with knives and has built an underground home in the forest behind Pete’s house. When they meet, each man’s strengths covers the other’s deficiencies, but only for so long. Eventually, even the most carefully built façade crumbles.M.F.A.by Randolph Schmid

Loranna J. Randloph letter to Lucile Atcherson, Ocotber 21, 1914
No full textLoranna J. Randolph of the Licking County Equal Suffrage League wrote this letter on October 21, 1914, to Lucile Atcherson of the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association. She wrote the letter to thank Atcherson and the FCWSA for sending literature in support of women's suffrage. Randolph explained the amount of money she sent with the letter and she tried to recall how many leaflets she ordered. She also informed Atcherson that she would likely be ordering more literature, and when she ordered more Atcherson could tell her how much she owed for the paper ribbons that had been sent to the Equal Suffrage League.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex

Visitants : Stow's end time novel
No full textIn the literary archive of Papua New Guinea (PNG), Randolph Stow’s novel Visitants has a special place. Its setting in the Trobriand Islands off the east coast of PNG in 1959, when Australia was a decolonising administrative power, and the author’s first-hand experience of that world, make Visitants a rare work on any terms, especially in the context of Australian literature, where writers have not looked in that direction much. One notable exception is T. A. G. Hungerford, author of The Ridge and the River, to whom Stow dedicates his novel in Pidgin that translates as ‘I want to send this book to my friend’

Mrs. George Randolph Chester
No full textFor Lillian Chester, who wrote under the name Mrs. George Randolph Chester, the experience of “collaboration” guided not only her encounter with the Hollywood industry, but almost every facet of her professional and personal life. She was a very prolific writer, coauthoring with her husband, George Randolph Chester (1869–1924), a well-known playwright and short story author. Her first publication was their 1914 coauthored book, The Ball of Fire, and they remained a successful team until Mr. Chester’s premature death of a heart attack in 1924, at which point she apparently stopped writing altogether (Smith 127). In addition to writing hundreds of short stories and numerous stage plays with Mr. Chester, Lillian labored alongside him in the scenario department at the Vitagraph Company from 1916 to 1921. She also wrote with him for a stint at Universal Film Manufacturing Company, from 1922–1923, collaborating on such films as The Flaming Hour (1922) and Scarlet Car (1923). At Vitagraph, Lillian worked as a writer and editor until taking on the role of codirector for The Son of Wallingford (1921), which she helped shoot, title, and edit with her husband
