[i]t would have been impossible, completely and entirely, for any woman to have written the plays of shakespeare in the age of shakespeare. let me imagine, since the facts are so hard to come by, what would have happened had shakespeare had a wonderfully gifted sister, called judith, let us say.

why does woolf imagine the story of this gifted woman rather than writing a true story?

woolf wanted the story to be more entertaining than what actually happened to shakespeare’s sister.
gifted women poets in the elizabethan era were not given the chance to be successful and remembered.
woolf doesn’t want to reveal the real name of the woman she’s writing about.
women poets in the elizabethan era have often been written about.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

it's a way for authors to communicate with reader in this time period. books from the past can teach us about life.
