Every building tells a story - and this book provides a guide to
the stories the Victorians told in Sussex. Sussex has a
wide-ranging and renowned collection of Victorian buildings, from
grand town halls and outstanding churches, to distinctive railway
stations and unassuming parish halls; from eminent colleges and
splendid country mansions, to modest village schools and humble
estate cottages; from workhouses and hospitals, to almshouses and
cemeteries - this guide covers them all and more. "What The
Victorians Did For Sussex" pinpoints the buildings that make up the
county's Victorian architectural legacy, providing both a
description and location. But it also looks at the wider social
context of the period, providing the reader with an insight into
the creation of individual buildings, and reasons why they continue
to deserve our interest. Buildings provide a tangible and lasting
expression of the values, ideals, and aspirations of any society;
no understanding of the Victorian period can he possible without a
study of its architectural legacy.

PREFACE This collection of one-act plays appears because of an in-
creasingly large demand for such a volume. The plays have been
selected and the Introduction prepared to meet the need of the
student or teacher who desires to acquaint himself with the one-act
play as a specific dramatic form. The plays included have been
selected with this need in mind. Accordingly, emphasis has been
placed upon thewholesome and uplifting rather than upon the sordid
and the ultra-realistic. The unduly sentimental, the strikingly
melodramatic, and the play of questionable moral problems, has been
consciously avoided. Comedies, tragedies, farces, and melodramas
have been included but the chief concern has been that each play
should be good dramatic art. The Dramatic Analysis and Construction
of the One-Act Play, which appears in the Introduction, also has
been prepared for the student or teacher. This outline-analysis and
the plays in this volume are sufficient material, if carefully
studied, for an understanding and appreciation of the one-act play.
