In Episode 11, we read Bishop Berkeley and his rejection of matter, Manzoni, Sir Thomas Malory, Plutarch's Caesar, Darwin, Legends of St. Brendan and St. Patrick, and a play by Massinger.
About “A Year With”: a weekly podcast where we will learn more about great ideas from our common history – good ideas and bad ideas – by reading together for an entire year. For 2022, we will explore the Harvard Classics, also known as Dr. Eliot’s Five Foot Shelf of Books, a world literature anthology published from 1909 to about 1970.
The goals for this year include listening to the voices in so-called "old books" and keeping up an attitude of curiosity.
