BookOdysseyAlbion by Peter AckroydIn Albion: The Origins of the English Imagination, Peter Ackroyd explores the enduring and distinct characteristics of English cultural identity across centuries of art and literature. He identifies a unique English sensibility rooted in the territorial spirit and a profound reverence for the antiquarian past. The text highlights how a hybrid culture emerged by assimilating various influences into a unified national voice, often characterized by melancholy, pragmatism, and a love for the grotesque. From the alliterative poetry of the Anglo-Saxons to the urban drama of Dickens and Hogarth, Ackroyd traces a consistent thread of imagination that transcends history. This...

Out of Order Book ClubSimon Hawke's The Wizard of Whitechapel (1988)"Never judge a book by its cover", isn't that the old saying? Well, on the final episode of our first season, I'll be looking at a book that I absolutely judged by it's cover - 'The Wizard of Whitechapel'. A jaunty cover and the word 'Whitechapel' certainly set off a mix of alarm bells and curiosity in my brain. In this episode, I'll be looking at a mash up of Arthurian legends and sci fi (with a splash of Victorian serial killer). It isn't a spoiler to say that the contents of the book did not in any way...

英语每日一听 | 每天少于5分钟第2132期:When did we start walking for leisure?'Going for a walk' is a popular pastime among older and younger generations alike because of its well-known benefits for our physical and mental health. But you may be surprised to hear that meandering through pretty streets or hiking along mountainous ridges have not always been considered leisure activities, according to Daniel Gale, a researcher of pedestrianism. “散步”是老一辈和年轻一代都流行的消遣方式，因为它对我们的身心健康有众所周知的好处。 但步行行为研究员丹尼尔·盖尔 (Daniel Gale) 表示，你可能会惊讶地发现，蜿蜒穿过美丽的街道或沿着山脊徒步旅行并不总是被视为休闲活动。 He says that in Britain, walking for fun "wasn't really a thing" until the 1780s. Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity, and some people associated it with criminal activity. But for Charles Dickens, the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and tramping around the countryside was a big part of the creative process; a time to absorb what was goin...

It argues that postmodernist historiographic metafiction is not simply self-referential, but hetero-referential, consciously revealing the paradoxes of self-referentiality while simultaneously creating a heterocosmic world where the text is capable of referring to an external reality.

There may be a gap in chronology, but the pattern of a life may be discerned obliquely and indirectly.” - Peter Ackroyd in Shakespeare the BiographyFrom the birth of his twins to his arrival on the London theatre scene, we have no record of what Shakespeare was doing. This isn’t from a lack of trying, but if you weren’t getting baptised, married or buried, i...

In this episode the panel delves into the question and the many theories of: who was Shakespeare? Questions as to Shakespeare's true identity are not new. Over the decades, scholars and enthusiasts alike have presented a wide range of theories to satisfy those who remain unconvinced that William Shakespeare was not simply a man from Stratford-upon-Avon. The Shakespeare authorship question runs the spectrum from informed academic scholarship down to wild conspiracy theories (not unlike those surrounding the case of Jack the Ripper) and in many cases, best filed alongside pop culture urban legends such as...

Gocce di StoriaWilliam ShakespeareNel 2016 ricorre il quattrocentenario della morte di William Shakespeare e, prima che l’anno termini, abbiamo deciso di dedicare una puntata a questo famosissimo poeta e drammaturgo inglese. Il nostro non è un podcast di letteratura, tema che viene toccato in maniera marginale, e la puntata racconta la vita del Bardo per poi puntare l’attenzione sui teatri del tempo e sulla loro storia.
Ci scusiamo per il fastidiossimo rumore che si sente di tanto in tanto, mentre registravo devo avere tenuto senza accorgermene le mani sul tavolo, purtroppo ce ne siamo accorti solo in fase di montaggio.
