The Fold

About this film

LibriVox volunteers bring you 7 recordings of The Fold by Alice Meynell. This was the Weekly Poetry project for August 30, 2015. Read in English by Bruce Kachuk; Newgatenovelist; Lee Ann Howlett; Larry Wilson; Leonard Wilson; Maria Kasper and SkyAlbatross. Alice Christiana Gertrude Meynell was an English writer, editor, critic, and suffragist, now remembered mainly as a poet. At the end of the 19th century, in conjunction with uprisings against the British (among them the Indians', the Zulus', the Boxer Rebellion, and the Muslim revolt led by Muhammad Ahmed in the Sudan), many European scholars, writers, and artists, began to question Europe's colonial imperialism. This led the Meynells and others in their circle to speak out for the oppressed. Alice Meynell was a vice-president of the Women Writers' Suffrage League, founded by Cicely Hamilton and active 1908–19.
