Spooktacular October Ghosties and Ghoulies, What do you think of first when you hear, “The Raven?” Fear? Terror? The Simpsons? Death? Well, we thought of all of those things and more throughout this breakdown episode of “The Raven,” by Edgar Allen Poe. This eerie poem is a rollercoaster of emotions, and can elicit different ones from person to person. The foremost emotion felt by most is that of loss, and mourning. Poe had the intent to elicit dread from the audience, as pointed out in his essay, “The Philosophy of Composition,” produced a year after “The Raven.” Was he defending his own writing, or laying the groundwork to shape future generations of poets? Find out in this week's breakdown episode.

Happy Spooky times to one and all, This October we shall be narrating American author, Edgar Allan Poe's famously eerie poem “The Raven.” It was published in the New York Evening Mirror On January 29, 1845 and was equally praised and panned by critics of the day. The poem made Poe famous throughout both England and America. Most everyone already knows of the story, but in rereading, recording, and editing this episode Owen learned many more of the details of the story and has many more questions about it.

Welcome dear listeners to another narration of Lady Audley's Secret. This time we are in Chapter 4. Has George Talboys made land yet? Who do we get to meet in this Chapter? Why was Lucy keeping that item in a secret compartment of her jewelry box? Well, we answer a few of these questions, but a few still remain elusive. Join us next time for a breakdown from Kari Nixon PhD!

Greetings to your Ears and Eyes, Warning, there are a handful of deaths referenced in this work. Natural deaths due to old age, as well as unfortunate circumstances, but death nonetheless. Daniel Kasper PHD is with us in this episode to breakdown the nuances of Lucy Hardy's writing. Here is a story that breaks from the orthodox tradition of presenting cause and effect morality, and instead shifts the morals further into the background for a more personal interpretation. What morals did you pick up in your listening of this story? How outdated is this story? Does the conclusion make up for the less scrupulous phrases and ideologies used throughout? How rattled were you by the deaths and post-mortem scenarios we witnessed in this story? Do you think that George Smyhte is innocent as Aunt Agatha believes? Let us know on Podchaser, Instagram, or Twitter. The narration being done by the niece of the main character is atypical and seemingly unique to Lucy Hardy. The events, as narrated to us, are a telling of the narrator's life, their own experiences of another's life, the story of returning home to learn of the aunt's life in their absence, and finally, the telling of what was learned as the end of Aunt Agatha's Husband. This story skips out on the ghosts of the past, lurking around and the characters must appease them, or in some cases accept them and allow them to move on. However the suspense of the more sinister ending is always held over the reader, leaving us reading on to find how hard the shoe will land on the characters. Since the narrator is a witness, the protagonist is more of a surprise rather than the one one might expect. Enjoy the rest of your day!

Content Warning! Cursing, Talk of murder, suicide, violence, and death Hello Dear Listener! Here is the breakdown of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Do you enjoy murder mysteries? Crime stories? Breakdown episodes about such suspenseful Shilling Shockers? In this episode we talk with Daniel Kasper PhD. As the story came to an end, it left behind a legacy, but have you thought of all of the possible meanings this story holds? Where the final chapter, Henry Jekyll's Full Statement of the Case, was a typical mastermind's plan reveal, this episode delves into his plan, his intentions, and where he may have gone awry. While his path toward fixing his plans went off and on the rails again and again, it was futile to fight the verdict, but why? In, writing to his last remaining friend and he leaves behind the only accounts of Mr. Hyde, along with other details that belie his own story. It may have been his ego urging him to write down his scientific accomplishments so that everyone could know of Dr. Henry Jekyll's achievements, or it could have been his final attempt at helping someone finally understand him!

Hello there, Today Owen Narrates "Lady Audley's Secret" Chapter 2 Written by Mary Elizabeth Braddon Published in the London Journal 1863 We are glad that you found your way over here to the Victorian Periodical Parade. Welcome to the fourth reading of the Cornhill magazine. My name is Owen and I have been assisting Dr. Kari Nixon by reading the fiction portions of the 1862 bound annual edition. This is a nice collection of literature that connects present day folks to the Victorians of 160 years ago. This first reading is chapter of the Mary Elizabeth Braddon novel, "Lady Audley's Secret." The second and third readings are of chapter two. In Chapter 2 we meet George Talboys, and few members of the vessel he is sailing home to England on. He is very impatient to get home to see someone, while another passenger is dreading returning home. This instance shows us that people of every generation were racked with anxiety and worries about the future. Both George and his copassenger are returning home after a time abroad earning money to bring home. Money has also always been a stressor, how can we eat without money? How could we afford our homes without money? Where can we get money. All of these questions are answered in this reading from the Victorian angle. I am excited to narrate something from to those rich, Victorian days gone by. I hope that you all enjoy the next fifteen minutes. Next episode will likely be an interview between myself and our new co-host Daniel Kasper PhD, as we go over The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde, written by Robert Stevenson.

Hello Lovely Vicies and Victors, Im glad you found your way over here to the Victorian Periodical Parade Welcome to the first reading of the Cornhill magazine. My name is Owen Curtiss and I will be assisting Dr. Kari Nixon by reading the fiction portions of the 1862 bound annual edition. This is a nice collection of literature that connects present day folks to the Victorians of a 160 years ago. Here Kari reads an article from the May issue of the 1862 edition of the Cornhill Magazine. She breaks down what the writings mean, why they are in general critiquing their peers, and when a paragraph is a veiled joke. Next I will be going back to the beginning of said May issue; where the first reading will be a segment of a Thackeray novel called The Adventures of Phillip On His Way Through The World and Thackeray was the editor of the Cornhill magazine. That is why, dear listener, his novel got to be publisher here in the early years of the magazine. People often would buy the magazine subscription so that they could read the book throughout the year. Said novel would be broken up into installments, with the rest of the magazine being made up of other stories or articles which would be a bonus for those who bought the magazine to read the novel. I have heard of other such publications that present a novel over the span of a year or so and I have been intrigued by them. I have actually purchased one such magazine, made up of short stories, in the podcasts inaugural summer. So I am excited to read something similar to those rich, victorian days gone by. Since we are starting these readings off, alongside Kari's article and breakdowns in May, some of you dear listeners will be petrified to hear that we will be starting off in chapter 35 of The Adventures of Phillip On His Way Through The World with Res Angusta Domi, next time. Now, we'll see how far we get in fifteen minutes. I hope you enjoy, hobey ho lets go.

Greetings to your Ears and Eyes, Warning, there are a handful of deaths referenced in this work. Natural deaths due to old age, as well as unfortunate circumstances, but death nonetheless.

Hello Vickies, This content has been a long time coming as it is from a nearly 3 hour recording session, with so many good things going on! Very sorry for the wait! Today we get to know the fantastic Kari Nixon PhD, even more than we already had. We learn about her beginnings as a scholar, a few of her accolades and travels. We learn more of her childhood as well as a few tidbits about mentors of hers. Get ready for some belly laughs as well as some deep dives into the meta of podcasting, producing this podcast, as we as our relationships. Getting to know the engineer know as Owen Curtiss is a complex act, but Kari gets the deets on a few topics that are close to Owen. Listen along as Kari asks Owen, "Why are you the right person to support the Victorian Periodical Parade?" We also talk a wee little bit about a magical camp that stands tall amongst the Concordia Language Villages. That camp is called Skogfjorden! A norwegian language and culture immersion camp. Now that either of us have been, we cannot avoid references to it, or memories of it. Reach out if you can't find them at: http://www.concordialanguagevillages.org/youth-languages/norwegian-language-village/our-site This was supposed to be a transition episode between our live readings on Facebook, and Youtube into the "audio only" podcast version of the show. Turns out Owen is putting out the video versions of the podcast episodes as well, due to his love for the facial reactions, falling equipment, and self care habits found in these recordings sessions. Also, we didn't really talk about the podcast that much in this interview anyway. Let us know if you enjoyed this.

Hello World, Welcome to a story about the resident gentry of Shingleside, a sea side town in England, were they misinterpret the message their own story tries to tell. We have a story narrated by Mrs. Millbird, who is all knowing and says that she was present at critical events, but also heard about others via word of mouth. It's another story where the ghost is hard to find, and the protagonist is more of an accidental detective than a ghost hunter or a protector from ghosts. Follow along as we learn how a small community is delighted by a stranger who comes with the name of a local on their tongue, and thus what ramifications it can have if you don't inquire into the character of a stranger as they arrive in your quaint little town.

Hello Lovely Listeners, Please welcome back the lovely Kari Nixon Ph.D! She is back to breakdown "The West Room," written by Lucy Hardy a.k.a. Catherine Lord. This version was published in The Canterbury Journal October 25th 1895, but first WE LEARN! Then after, we will discuss the answers to last episodes Riddles, but first WE LEARN! What would you do if you had a book with text that was foreign to you, and you kept finding distracting topics to talk about? Well, we know what we would do. Hop hop hop around like bunnies. Did Lucy Hardy a.k.a. Cathrine Lord think that men were irrelevant to the story? Was Lucy a Victorian feminist? Such agreeable characteristics to note. The Victorians believed that a woman's emotional state during pregnancy, marked the pregnancy. Cravings, and fears affect the pregnancy or the baby directly, in this case the fear and dread marked the baby for death. The Victorians thought that a shock or fearful moment could affect the pregnancy or baby. This short story could be described as a female empowerment story, due to the main characters being females.

Content Warning: Child birth, murder, and death of a newborn of natural causes. In this episode, we visit The West Room written by Cathrine Lord in the Victorian Era, and edited by Johnny Mains, narrated by Owen Curtiss. Have you ever rented a house that was larger than you needed? Have architects ever added more than you thought was necessary over the years? Architects often get the bad rap, even though they are trying to get the homeowner what they want. But sometimes even that is too much. Have you searched and searched to solve the true crime, which you know has happened in your manor house? Well, we have stumbled upon one by happenstance, and have found evidence of the spiritual kind before any of the physical kind. Our medium today is pregnant, and the father is away. Whatever is she to do? When the greatest support proposed is her sister-in-law, who, as it is known, thinks very little of her. Can our medium mother survive these times of trial? Find out what lurks in The West Room as the birthing hour nears.

Content Warning! Talk of murder, suicide, violence, and death Happy Holidays! Here is the conclusion of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Do you enjoy murder mysteries? Crime stories? This one comes to an end here, but has left behind a legacy. The final chapter, Henry Jekyll's Full Statement of the Case, is a typical mastermind's plan reveal, except in this case it divulges his plan, his intentions, and where they went awry. His path fixing his plans went off and on the rails again and again, until he learned it was futile to fight the verdict. So, he writes to his last remaining friend and tells him, but mostly the listener, where the issues were. It may have been his ego urging him to write down his scientific accomplishments, so that everyone could know of Dr. Henry Jekyll achievements! For more time travel follow us at the links below.

Happy Cyber Monday! 299 total listens to the podcast so far! Thank you all for that support. It encourages me to keep working on them and improving. I hope that your Thanksgiving week was amazing! Do you enjoy murder mysteries? Crime stories? Good, because we have something in that same vein again for you today. The chapter, Remarkable Incident of Dr. Lanyon, is a typical Victorian Era murder mystery case. Listening back to the episode during editing makes me feel like Dr. Jekyll was going through a mid life crisis or major depression. This then affected his two closest friends in Dr. Lanyon and Mr. Utterson. Mr. Utterson's search for friendship and answers in this portion seems to be bread from connection, and longing for the happiness of the past. It shows just how important friendships can be. What do you think of the relationship of these three gentlemen? Is Owen off base, or possibly close to the mark? He looks forward to the final Chapter, because as of now, it is assumed that that is where we get the Dr. Jekyll, of today. Follow us at the links below.

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful that you are listening to these episodes. It encourages me to keep working on them and improving. I hope that your week is amazing! And if you are having time off this week, that you relish it. If you are working as usual, I hope that it goes smoothly for you. Do you enjoy murder mysteries? Crime stories? Good, because we have something in that same vein for you today. The Incident of the Letter is a Victorian Era chapter that draws from the popular best selling novels of the time, in this chapter we get a "tour of the Jekyll estate, and we see a sick Dr. Jekyll giving a the titular letter to Mr. Utterson. This letter then undergoes some forensic scrutiny by the lawyer's associate. What do you think of the Jekyll estate? It seems to be situated next to a busy market street, and is of substantial size. I can kind of picture this, but it seems different from the setting of today's movies. We as readers and listeners of the story know "who wrote it," but I find it enjoyable to see the means by which Mr. Utterson investigates the clues, and searches out what is important to him for getting to the bottom of it. Have you ever read the original version of this work? I hadn't and am enjoying it very much. I look forward to the final Chapter, because as of now, I assume that that is where we get the Dr. Jekyll, of today, from. Follow us at the links below.

Hello Again! Do you enjoy Sherlock Holmes investigations? Good, because we have something in that same vein for you today. The Carew Murder Case is a Victorian Era chapter that draws from the popular best selling novels of the time, here we have an inspector from Scotland Yard, who is investigating the residence of a murderer. Finding clues in ashes from a fire. We as readers and listeners of the story know "who done it," but I find it enjoyable to see the means by which Mr. Utterson, and our detective from Scotland Yard, piece together the clues, and make assumptions on how to solve the mystery. Have you ever read the original version of this work? Owen hadn't and is enjoying it very much. He looks forward to the final Chapter, because as of now, he is assuming that that is where we get the Dr. Jekyll of today from. Follow us at the links below.

Hello Lovely Listeners, Here is the short, third Chapter of the original version of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, written by Robert Lewis Stevenson. It is quite different from the movies and renditions I have seen and heard of. I look forward to reading the part that gives rise to the current version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Do you like the slower pace of the action? Do you enjoy the thrill and anticipation of seeing the monster that we know so well today? What do you think frightened Victorians most about this story? I enjoy original text of reimagined stories, that must be why I love all of the Origin stories out today. Follow us at the links below.

We move on to Chapter 2 of our horror story. Isn't is strange that in the first sentence of Chapter 1 Mr. Utterson the lawyer is described as "a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable," an yet he is not so much embarrassed in the discourses we have seen him in so far? Must be something to do with judging a book by its cover, as the Pagemaster told us not to do. I hope that by now you know what the title of our story is. If so, please write it in the comments below. Have you heard, or read this version of the story recently? Have your assumptions of this story, like mine, been tainted by the modifications Hollywood has provided to this base material? May-hap I am ahead of myself with these assumptions, as we have yet to meet the titular character. We shall see together. Or you can read the free online PDF yourself, to finish the story before All Saints day. Enjoy your Friday! And all the days you can!

In this episode we start digging deep into the more horrific side of Victorian Ghost stories. Did you know that this is how this story started? It seems to me like the film industry has changed this character and story a lot from its inception to now. This main character doesn't seem to match the one I have had in my mind's eye over the last few years. Glad to read the original. Did you know that another word for door is Ostium? I have known for a few years now, seek it and ye shall find out more.

Graphic content warning - Talk of a character from Thomas Hardys novel, Jude the Obscure, finding an 8 year old hanging them self along with their two younger siblings in a closet as the example of th excessive pessimism of the time, around the 16 minute mark - skip for 30 secunds, or until after you hear the phrase "sort of harmless stories. This skip will also jump past, talk of a mother killing herself, at the 16.5 minute. Dr. Nixon: “What did we learn from this episode class? That the Victorians considered themselves similar to the Ancient Greeks, and that if it was okay for young greek males to have homosexual acts in their ‘highschool to college ages' why would it be wrong for our Victorians males to experience and try that out as well? Which lead to defining homosociality, and triangulated desire, where a same sex relationship exists for males in a grey area between plutonic and sexual. Since it would not define the Victorian male's sexuality at the time is was a don't ask don't tell situation. Then, to top it all off, we learned that Oscar Wilde was outed as homosexual during a very public court case, where he had to explain some points of interest within the case." Owen asks: "Do you think lady Hardy was a historian? Repeating the average through lines of the Victorian Era so that we could more closely identify them in our time?" Dr. Nixon : The concept of the infinite heat death of the universe came from the Victorians. Owen: No wonder their outlook on being the best thing on earth came to a depressing end. We also found beautiful ads for the following: Book Binders Sheep Foot Rot Carter's Liver Pills Weak Babies and Thin Children - Cough and Cold Scotts Emulsion Cockles Anti Bilious Pils Whooping Cough Whooping Cough Whooping Cough Whooping Cough. There was an "explosion" following a reference to microwave cooking for 1 and 2 In that reference we see the chipped mirror place mats of the 1980s.

Content warning: In this story there is infanticide, and reference to the murder of an infant, we do not condone this, we are merely reacting to the story as it was written 160 years ago. Either prepare you ears or hit skip three times after we say, "The Curious Case of Susan Styleds." In today's episode Dr. Kari Nixon breaks down The Curious Case of Susan Styles written by Cathrine Lord, under the pen name of Lucy Hardy. Did you notice the reference to a Hardy in the story? It took me until I edited to story to notice who was named Hardy. Send us a message @VictorianParade if you know who it is, and you'll become a praised listener with the option of stickers, postcards, and more! We talk about Arthur Conan Doyle, Harry Houdini, and characters in the Victorian Era and why they are important. At the end Kari stumps Owen with some riddles. Are you starter that Owen and Kari?

Warning - this episode contains reference to infanticide. One character pleads guilty to it, and then its corpse is referenced. It touches the topic but does not go into great detail. Listen with care. Hello Wonderful Listeners, Welcome to Season 3 Episode 2 Part 1. We have mixed up production yet again, and we are putting the story out by itself to shorten up the episodes. We hope that you will enjoy this, and follow it up with the break down by Dr. Kari Nixon coming shortly. If you enjoy this Victorian Era tale and haven't listened to Seasons 2, or 1, head on over to Youtube, and Facebook, respectively, to catch more stories by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, and William Thackeray. As well as the connection between the Victorian Era and today, and how cyclical humanity truly is. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8V3Nwr0QJn8obpVpFU9u9A https://www.facebook.com/VictorianParade All the best to you and yours in these trying times. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/victorianparade/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/victorianparade/support
