In this episode I’ll talk about creative reading, a meaningful way to connect and interact with the literary text! You can find more information on the website: http://booksandculture.club

In this episode I invite the literary scholars Eli Elshani and Alicia Rojas Costa to talk about medievalism and how the figure of King Arthur has been depicted in culture.

In this episode I talk about the English journalist, political philosopher and novelist William Godwin, the author of “An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice” and “Caleb Williams”. He was the husband of Mary Wollstonecraft and father of Mary Shelley, the future author of “Frankenstein”.

In this episode we travel back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries to explore the “harmonious madness” of the Romantic period in English literature. P.s.: “Lyrical Ballads” was published for the first time in 1798.

The end of the 18th century was a revolutionary era: the Industrial Revolution changed the way people lived and worked; the American Revolution saw the rise of the United States of America as an independent country; and the French Revolution brought France’s despotic monarchy to an end. In this episode, learn how some influential English writers responded to the French Revolution in England.

Gothic literature started in England in 1764 with Horace Walpole’s “The Castle of Otranto”. It then boomed in the 1790s with the author Ann Radcliffe. Listen to this episode and know more about how this genre came to be, and how it expanded into the 20th and 21st centuries.

The 18th century is commonly known as the great age of letter writing. Everyone wrote letters! Listen to this episode and find out how this practice affected the literary production of the time.
