A podcast focused on the humanities. I do mostly literary criticism, to help readers and students get what they're reading. I find one of the biggest barriers to enjoying books is a lack of context, so I give a quick summary of books' context to help the reader have a rich understanding of what they've read. If you're interested in my work, you can purchase a copy of one of my books by following this link:https://www.amazon.com/author/broomcrownnewpeaceThank you. Cover Art: Picasso, Pablo. The Classical Head. Art.

Why I Do These Podcasts 11.12.2022

Basically, to recap, I do these books to provide context, so you can fully understand the work you're reading. I do not do these, as a means to tell you what the book means, but rather, to help you draw a deeper meaning from the books. You cannot sum everything up in a book in seven minutes. But, you can get a context for a book in seven minutes, that helps you understand what that book you&#3...

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight 25.10.2022

Brave New World 12.09.2022

I explicitly told myself I wasn't going to do this next, but an overwhelming urge came over me. I think it's important, and is kind of a subtle criticism of Jordan Peterson's one point of disagreement with me, that suffering can contain meaning. I find that to be hellish.

1984 31.07.2022

An Analysis of 1984. *I had said there are no Pictures of George Orwell. My memory didn't serve me right. It's not pictures, but Video or Sound Recording.

An Analysis of Modernism and the Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock 15.06.2022

Eliot never held a formal professorship, but taught English at Birkbeck College in 1915, and was a High School Teacher of French and Latin for a year at Highgate School in London. Also it seems, after having done more research on T. S. Eliot, that Prufrock is a caricature of Bertrand...

A Tale of Two Cities Analysis 17.05.2022

An analysis of a Tale of Two Cities. Specifically, a critique on Feudalism. I lost the software to do Podcasts for a bit, but essentially, A Tale of Two Cities deals with the Protagonists the Darnay Family and Lucile's marriage to Dr. Manette. Because of some ties Dr. Manette has to France--he's royalty--and also Charles Darnay's, the bad guys in France look to destroy him, as the Revo...
