Neville Lancelot Goddard (1905 - 1972) war einer der einflussreichsten neuzeitlichen Denker, der mystische und metaphysische Wahrheiten verständlich erklärte. Auf der Insel Barbados geboren, kam er 1922, im Alter von siebzehn Jahren, nach New York, um Tanz- und Schauspielunterricht zu nehmen. Aufgrund seiner Tänzerausbildung fiel es ihm vermutlich auch leicht, sich zu entspannen, eine unabdingbare Voraussetzung, die er bei seinen Lesern und Zuhörern vielleicht allzu leichtfertig voraussetzte.

Theatre Royal. The very name summons up something of grandeur and eloquence. And it was. Hosted by Ralph Richardson and Laurence Olivier, these big-name productions also included the creme de la creme of acting talents from John Gielgud, Robert Morley and Orson Welles to Trevor Howard, Michael Redgrave and Olivier himself. They were based on works by the world's leading authors, among them Charles Dickens, Henry James, Oscar Wilde and Anton Chekhov.

Florence Maybrick was the first American woman to be sentenced to death in England - for murdering her husband, a crime she almost certainly didn't commit. Her 1889 trial was presided over by an openly misogynist judge who was later declared incompetent and died in an asylum. Hours before she was to be hanged, Queen Victoria reluctantly commuted her sentence to life in prison. In her opinion, a woman who would commit adultery, as Maybrick had admitted, would also kill her husband. Her children were taken from her; she never saw them again. Her mother worked for years to clear her name.

Few could have any inkling, however, of the stupendous changes that were going to take place, in Britain and around the world.

John Carey tells the stories behind the world’s greatest poems, from the oldest surviving one written nearly four thousand years ago to those being written today. Carey looks at poets whose works shape our views of the world.
