An Unintended Episode: English Country House Poems
Saison 1 · Épisode 73
lundi 2 septembre 2024 • Durée 24:49
I had not thought to do an episode on the English country house poetry of the 17th century, but was recently reminded of their place in the survey of early modern literature, so here's a look at that peculiar subgenre.
In this show, we'll look at Aemilia Lanyer's "A Description of Cooke-ham" and Ben Jonson's "To Penshurst."

"You taught me language": Shakespeare's The Tempest
Saison 1 · Épisode 63
dimanche 7 avril 2024 • Durée 40:08
For our (probably) final episode on Shakespeare's plays, we sail through The Tempest, a late romance which has attracted historical and psychoanalytical interpretations, but stands out for many readers as perhaps a play in which a version of Shakespeare himself appears as the protagonist.

Shakespeare: The Narrative Poems
Saison 1 · Épisode 61
dimanche 10 mars 2024 • Durée 45:32

Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Macbeth: A Love Story
Saison 1 · Épisode 58
lundi 15 janvier 2024 • Durée 01:02:10
Is Shakespeare's darkest tragedy a cautionary tale about ambition? a bit of Jacobean mythmaking? Or is it the portrait of a deeply committed marriage gone catastrophically wrong?
With apologies for all the appalling accents . . . .

Shakespeare's Hamlet has not been out of production for over four centuries and its profound examination of the human condition continues to capture the hearts and minds of people the world over. Join me in Elsinore as we think about what some have called the greatest drama in history -- perhaps even the greatest literary achievement of all time!
