We are pleased to welcome the Pre-Raphaelite Society's poet-in-residence Sarah Doyle for something a little different. Sarah reads and explores two poems that have influenced Pre-Raphaelite works, 'La Belle Dame sans Merci' by John Keats and the iconic 'The Lady of Shalott' by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Sarah also reads her own wonderful work 'Cursed'. We hope you enjoy this episode and we will welcome Sarah back for more readings in the future.

We are delighted to welcome the wonderful Frances Dickey to the podcast to talk about the influences of Rossetti on T.S. Eliot. This episode focuses on both 'The Blessed Damozel' and 'The Wasteland' but Rossetti's influence on Eliot was multifaceted and, at times, a point of disgust and of uncanny personal similarity.

It was a pleasure to join Victoria Osborne from Birmingham Museums to discuss the hotly awaited homecoming of the 'Victorian Radicals' exhibition from a long, but successful, trip to America.

From paintings to furniture to clothing, the Birmingham collection is truly astonishing; alongside some old favourites, there are many pieces from the archives that make this exhibition one not to miss!

We are delighted to welcome Dr Peter Forsaith and Dr Ruth Slatter to the podcast to talk about the life, times and works of James Smetham. A recent exhibition of Smetham's work at Bewdley Museum explored the themes of spirituality and mental illness and the impact they had on Smetham's work and life. Despite close friendships with Ruskin and D.G. Rossetti, Smetham's devout Methodism and poor mental health meant that he often struggled to be part of the community surrounding the Pre-Raphaelites. However, much of Smetham's incredible art clearly demonstrates continuity with the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

It is a pleasure to welcome the legendary art historian and scholar Pamela Gerrish Nunn to the podcast to talk about the life and times of Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale. Brickdale is considered among the 'Neo-Pre-Raphaelites', the final generation of the nineteenth-century. As such, she carried Pre-Raphaelitism into the twentieth century and into very different social and artistic contexts.
