The Modern Age is one of information overload. Bombarded, surrounded, and battered by facts, figures, opinions and seemingly whatever else comes out of anyone’s head from all directions at all hours of the day and night. It’s exhausting. However, in this volume we go back a little way to when social media was an actual chat on the street corner or a dinner party, when breaking news was tomorrow’s newspaper or something momentous when a TV or radio programme could be interrupted with the outbreak of war or the death of a leader or sovereign. In the pens of such luminaries as Henry James, E M Delafield, C E Montague, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and many others we connect with old fashioned media from publishing and advertising to telegrams and radio and everything in between in ways that are surprising, enlightening but always entertaining. 1 - The Media - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction 2 - The Death of the Lion - Part 1 by Henry James 3 - The Death of the Lion - Part 2 by Henry James 4 - The Voice of God by Winifred Holtby 5 - Home Life Relayed by E M Delafield 6 - His Wife's Deceased Sister by Frank R Stockton 7 - Over the Wires by H D Everett 8 - The Night Wire by W F Arnold 9 - The Millionaire's Telegram by Barry Pain 10 - Mutiny by Dorothy Edwards 11 - The Eidoloscope by Robert Duncan Milne 12 - The Cloud-Men by Owen Oliver 13 - Why Herbert Killed His Mother by Winifred Holtby 14 - Looking at the Classics by E M Delafield 15 - Making a Living by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 16 - Two or Three Witnesses by C E Montague
