  • Vikings Are A Thing! The Scandinavian Influence on English (Out of Time Episode 1)
    2024/09/22

    Send us a text

    This is the first of what I'm calling the "Out of Time" episodes, an embedded series of Subcast shows that fill in gaps I may have missed along the way. Today, we fly our Out-of-Time-Machine all the way back to the 8th-century to see how the Danish invasions left an indelible mark upon English language and literature. Pack your battle-axe!

  • An Unintended Episode: English Country House Poems
    2024/09/02

    Send us a text

    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."

  • Flesh and Spirit: The Writing of John Donne
    2024/08/05

    Send us a text

    Poet and priest John Donne's work seems to transcend its early 17th century moment and feels as fresh and alive to us as anything written today. In this episode, we look at the following texts:

    "The Bait"
    "Elegy 19: To His Mistress Going To Bed"
    "Batter my heart"
    "Death, be not proud"
    "The Flea"
    "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning"
    "Meditation 17" from Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions

    Additional music: "You Can Leave Your Hat On" by Randy Newman. Sail Away. Reprise Records. 1972. Accessed as public domain through the Internet Archive.
