Hamilton Mary P. Hamlin, George Arliss
A Hamilton play a century before the musical: George Arliss's stage vehicle about the funding fight and the Reynolds blackmail, built for strong curtain lines. Creaky in places, brisk in most, and fascinating as what 1917 wanted its founders to be.
Poetry James Weldon Johnson
Johnson moves between Lift Every Voice and Sing and the sermon-poems of God's Trombones, where The Creation turns a Black preacher's cadence into verse. Formal skill and pulpit fire at once; the spoken power survives on the page.
The Country Wife William Wycherley
You get a filthy, sharply engineered Restoration comedy, with Horner’s fake impotence setting off Pinchwife’s paranoid jealousy and Margery’s blunt country innocence. The sexual politics are ugly in places, but the wordplay and social hypocrisy stay wonderfully alive if you enjoy comedy with teeth.
The Enormous Room E. E. Cummings
You settle into Cummings’s strange, funny memoir of imprisonment, where fellow detainees become vividly peculiar personalities and bureaucratic French absurdity keeps rubbing against real fear. The prose is playful and unruly, so you enjoy it most when you’re willing to wander rather than look for a tidy war story.
