skuaKing Lear, soilers 3/?
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History July 28, 1794: The authorities guillotined Robespierre, radical Jacobin and architect of the French Reign of Terror, when they slaughtered over 45,000 clergy, members of the nobility, and “enemies of the republic.” Prior to the French Revolution, he had advocated for universal suffrage, and abolition of the death penalty and the Atlantic slave trade. There are too many historical novels set during the French Revolution to name them all. However, here are some of the most famous ones. “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (1905) by Baroness Orczy. “A Tale of Two Cities” (1859) by Charles Dickens. “Ninety-Three” (Quatrevingt-treize) by Victor Hugo. It was published in 1874, three years after the bloody upheaval of the Paris Commune. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/robespierre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>robespierre</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/french" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>french</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/paris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>paris</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/commune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>commune</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/deathpenalty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deathpenalty</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/guillotine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>guillotine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/slavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slavery</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>novel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/victorhugo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>victorhugo</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/charlesdickens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>charlesdickens</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

Author-ized L.J.<p>"In the beginning [ <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/CharlesDickens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CharlesDickens</span></a>'] publishers at the time, Chapman and Hall, did not have confidence in the plot of the story and due to the decline in sales for Dickens current novel, Martin Chuzzlewit. This meant that Dickens had to essentially self-publish, at great detriment to his bank account, leading to serious financial worries . . . Further worry came from the fact that Dickens had entrusted the illustrations of the novella to his great friend John Leech and whilst he knew that the end result would be just as he desired, it would not be cheap. <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/AChristmasCarol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AChristmasCarol</span></a> was an instant success and sold out in next to no time. However, despite the success, the production values of the novella were extremely high . . . Dickens, however, kept the price of the novella low to buy at just five shillings which meant that the six-thousand copies that were sold as a first edition only resulted in two-hundred and thirty pounds for the author."</p><p>- Grace E.

Periodically, they heard shouts of Merry Christmas and other holiday salutations.</p><p>Ghost led the way through poor back-alley streets, past mean penny-a-day inns and crowded tenements. But she never hesitated. As long as she focused, he knew where the Cratchits lived. Arriving at a run-down house, the Ghost stopped.</p><p>“What’s your name, boy?” Ghost asked. It seemed silly to keep calling him “boy.”</p><p>“David, sir, if it pleases you, sir. David Copperfield.”</p><p>Ghost nodded, not being well-read. He didn’t recognize the name. She knew enough ghost lore to know the story “A Christmas Carol,” but there were no ghosts in “David Copperfield.”</p><p>“This is what you do, David. Knock on the door and say you have a message from Mr. Scrooge. Say he has had a change of heart, and a generous present will soon arrive. Lastly, say that Mr. Scrooge could not pay you to deliver the message, but he was sure the Cratchits would share a meal with you. You can add that line, ‘I’m so hungry,’ if you like. You do it very well. It would melt a heart of stone.”</p><p>“And you, sir. Surely you won’t run off now. I shall sorely miss you if you do.” David grabbed at Ghost’s hands, but it was like trying to catch the morning mist.</p><p>“I must; I have someone to find,” Ghost said and closed her eyes, imagining a new place and time. A woman’s name popped into her head. “I will visit her.”</p><p>Q: Who did Ghost think of, i.e., where shall we go next?</p><p><a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/MicroFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MicroFiction</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMPrompts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NMPrompts</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMTTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NMTTA</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/CharlesDickens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CharlesDickens</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/pastiche" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pastiche</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/AChristmasCarol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AChristmasCarol</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/DavidCopperfield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DavidCopperfield</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Poll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Poll</span></a></p>
