| | At the turn of the century, many blacks were still working on plantations or as sharecroppers. | | | The trade union movement was led by the American Federation of Labor, whose leader at the turn of the century was Samuel Gompers. | | | In 1896, the Supreme Court, in a case called Plessy versus Ferguson, sided with Southern states that wanted "separate but equal" facilities for blacks. |

| | The Norton Anthology of English Literature: The 20th Century: Introduction |
| | King Edward's brief reign is remembered as a time of stability and confidence; the last chapter of Victorian certainty allied to a greater exuberance and, to an extent, philistine hedonism, at least among the leisured classes at court and in the last great country houses. | | | The characterising popular literature of the day was drawing-room comedy or melodrama, and adventure stories by, for example, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson, Henry Rider Haggard, and John Buchan, whose gung-ho jingoism at times descended into outright sexism and racism. | | | Almost every introduction to a work of history seems to define its period as "a time of great change." In a sense, that claim is more true of the twentieth than of any other century, yet most of the changes that define our sense of the character of this period were initiated before it began. |

| | Heche has no chemistry with him and radiates no charisma of her own, thus providing no clue as to how her Lily could morph from a nobody into a Hollywood superstar. | | | As most of the play's story (set on the Twentieth Century Limited train) is driven by Oscar's desperate attempts to win Lily for his next stage venture or face total financial ruin, Baldwin's choice to depict Oscar as alternately annoyed and constipated is an odd and ineffective one. | | | There's never an indication that these are two artists only capable of doing their best under the violent emotions the other amplifies; if the script didn't insist they had a prior relationship, there would be no reason to believe it. |
