Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950) was an American playwright, Pulitzer Prize-winning lyrical poet, and feminist activist. One of the most celebrated poets in American history, Millay is hailed as the twentieth century’s most skilful sonnet writers who expertly married modern attitudes with traditional forms of expression. “The Lamp and the Bell” is a fairy tale drama in five acts written by Millay for a student production at Vassar College, New York. An over-the-top melodrama complete with love triangles and accidental murder, “The Lamp and the Bell” is not to be missed by theatre lovers with a penchant for the comedic. Other notable works by this author include: “Two Slatterns and a King” and “Second April”. Read & Co. Books is republishing this classic play now in a new edition complete with a biography of the author by Carl Van Doren.

The Silent Sex shows how the gender composition and rules of a deliberative body dramatically affect who speaks, how the group interacts, the kinds of issues the group takes up, whose voices prevail, and what the group ultimately decides. It argues...
