Seventeenth-century history-Filter: where can I find a copy of the first and second volumes of S.R. Gardiner's History of the Commonwealth and Protectorate online? I've managed to track down the third volume here. But volumes 1 and 2 are nowhere to be found. Questia doesn't seem to have them and I've trawled Gutenberg and a few other e-books sites. Does anyone know where this might be found? I have the standard academic access rights via Athens access management system, so should be able to access anything that's restricted to unversities.

If all else fails I will go and dig it out of a library, but I am studying part-time on top of a full-time job, so ideally it would very handy to be able to look at it on and off from my desk rather than spend a few hours at a time in a library. Thanks in advance.

What do I need to know to understand Beckett's Waiting for Godot?

How can I make sense of Beckett's play Waiting for Godot I am not averse to avant-garde literature, but Beckett's Waiting for God seems to escape my understanding. I have only read a half of it because I found it too confusing to be able to continue beyond that point. I would really appreciate if someone could get some perspective on the play to help me get into it.
