Librivox: Can You Forgive Her? by Trollope, Anthony show

Librivox: Can You Forgive Her? by Trollope, AnthonyJoin Now to Follow

&quot;Can You Forgive Her?&quot; is the first in a series of six Trollope novels dealing broadly with 19th Century English political scene. It introduces the reader to Plantagenet and Glencora Palliser, as they court, marry, and as Plantagenet sets out on his political career, which is carried on in the foreground or background throughout the series. Each novel has a focus on other particular characters, as well. In this one, it is the delimma of Alice Vavasor, who is a young woman choosing between two suitors: one who has all the best qualities, but who prefers a retiring private life, and another, whose qualities are doubtful, but who is ambitious for public office. There is also a comic subplot involving a widowed aunt, who also must choose between two suitors: Mr. Cheeseacre, a dull but stable farmer, and Capt. Bellfield, a charming but somewhat erratic retired military man.

Librivox: Stops, or How to Punctuate by Allardyce, PaulJoin Now to Follow

Throughout the ages, languages continue to adapt and change. English, being a relatively new language, is a nice example of that. Though the English vocabulary is continually evolving, the system of punctuation has remained constant for the most part. This means that grammar books from 1895 are still applicable today. Therefore, if the following sentence looks correct to you, perhaps listening to Paul Allardyce's &quot;Stops, or How to Punctuate&quot; would be a good idea. &quot;This, is a Librivox recording, all Librivox recording's are in the &quot;public domain&quot;.&quot; (Summary by Shurtagal)
