Bram Stoker – Dracula – Great Works in Western Literature with Joseph Pearce
In this episode of The Great Works in Western Literature, Kris McGregor and Joseph Pearce explore Bram Stoker’s Dracula, one of the most influential and misunderstood novels in modern literature. Far more than a gothic horror story, Dracula reveals a profound spiritual battle between good and evil, faith and skepticism, life and death. Pearce explains how modern culture has radically distorted Stoker’s original vision by transforming Dracula from a monstrous embodiment of evil into a romanticized antihero. In the novel itself, Dracula is presen...

Mary Shelley and Frankenstein – Great Works in Western Literature with Joseph Pearce
Joseph Pearce and Kris McGregor explore how Frankenstein has been widely misread, particularly through film adaptations that flatten its moral and philosophical depth. Written when Mary Shelley was still a teenager, the novel emerged from a turbulent season in her life—shaped by her radical atheist father, her feminist mother Mary Wollstonecraft, and her relationship with Percy Bysshe Shelley, whose estranged wife later took her own life. Amid guilt, loss, and emotional upheaval, Shelley crafted a story that wrestles with ambition, isolation, and mora...

Emily Bronte and Wuthering Heights – Great Works in Western Literature with Joseph Pearce
Joseph Pearce and Kris McGregor explore Wuthering Heights as a profoundly Christian novel that has often been misread as a sweeping romance. Pearce argues that Emily Brontë, the daughter of an Anglican clergyman, remained rooted in orthodox Christianity, and that her novel critiques—not celebrates—the self-indulgent passion associated with certain strands of Romanticism. Distinguishing between healthy self-giving love and the darker, Byronic strain found in writers like Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, Pearce presents Heathcliff and Catherine’s relationship as a destruc...

Four adventurous siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie—step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter and enslaved by the power of the White Witch.

Though a staple in high school English classes, Julius Caesar is not a simple play. Seemingly irreconcilable forces are at work: fate and free will, the changeableness and stubbornness of ambitious men, the demands of public service and the desire for private gain. Drawn from history as recorded by Plutarch, the major characters-Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, and Mark Antony-are complex, as are the twists and turns of their fortunes. What kind of man rises to power? What price does he pay when he becomes a po...

As with all of his stories, his passion is for the unforgettable and unrepeatable individuals he creates.
The sorrows of the suffering masses, their demands for justice, and the indiscriminate fury they unleash take flesh in Madame Defarge, while the self-sacrifice that is the truest means of atonement and rebirth manifests in the unlikely hero Sydney...
