Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity - Chaucer -Not Just PaperworkBefore Shakespeare, before Austen…even before Milton, there was Jeffrey Chaucer. Boldly writing in English when most of the literary world preferred Latin or French. Imagine that audacity!"Cue pause: 1 second, let the audience absorb “audacity.”“The English language just wasn't considered worthy of literature, and here was, Jeffrey Chaucer giving the English language -  life, color, and humor.”Fireflies harp"Chaucer didn't just write stories—he invented a whole way of telling them. And the people he created? Funny, scandalous, and strangely familiar. Some things really don't change.""So, Chaucer wasn't just funny—he was innovative. Let's talk about his life and how he took English from everyday speech to literary gold.”Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

“How could Jane Austen write so convincingly about love and heartbreak if she never fell in love?”In this episode, I'm joined by author and literary critic Paula Byrne to explore Jane Austen's love life, beyond the well-known stories.You might already know about the dashing Tom Lefroy, made famous in Becoming Jane with Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy. Or perhaps you've giggled at the tale of Harris Bigg-Wither, whose proposal Jane accepted only to change her mind and flee less than 24 hours later.But what if there was another man in her life... one whose story is filled with passion, longing, and heartbreak?Paula and I dive into the mysterious seaside romance Jane is believed to have experienced in the summer of 1801. Could this be the man who truly captured her heart? Paula's new novel Six Weeks by the Sea is her fictional reimagining of this emotional and enigmatic chapter of Austen's life.

Tonight, we shall read the next part to Persuasion, the last novel fully completed by Jane Austen, and published in 1817. The story concerns Anne Elliot, an Englishwoman whose family moves in order to lower their expenses, by renting their home to an Admiral and his wife. Austen began writing Persuasion in 1815, during a period of declining health, yet the novel's style shows a maturity and restraint distinct from her earlier works. Many readers have noted its quieter, more autumnal tone—reflecting themes of second chances, endurance, and the slow rekindling of love. It was published posthumously along with Northanger Abbey, and stands today as one of her most poignant achievements. In the last episode, Anne is thrilled to sense Captain Wentworth's rekindled interest in her at the concert. Mr. Elliot's vying interest in her apparently leaves Wentworth to storm out early in vexation, and leaves Anne in astonishment. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

"She has many rare & charming qualities, but Sobriety is not one of them."—Jane Austen, Jack and AliceDrunken brawls. Cannibalism. Heroines behaving very badly. Such mayhem may seem worlds apart from the sedate drawing rooms of Austen's novels, but it is par for the course in her teenage writings. In this episode, we welcome Lesley Peterson for an exploration of the whimsical world of Austen's juvenilia—the hilarious and often absurd stories she penned in her youth. Along the way, we'll see how young Jane, growing up in a lively, intellectual household, was already testing boundaries and sharpening the wit that would one day captivate readers everywhere.Lesley Peterson is the editor of the Journal of Juvenilia Studies and, before her retirement, was Professor of English at the University of North Alabama. She has published numerous articles in JASNA's journals, Persuasions and Persuasions On-Line, and is a frequent presenter at JASNA's Annual General Meetings. In 2024, she served as a JASNA Traveling Lecturer and was awarded a fellowship through the JASNA International Visitor Program.For a transcript and show notes, visit https://jasna.org/austen/podcast/ep27/.*********Visit our website: www.jasna.orgFollow us on Instagram and FacebookSubscribe to the podcast on our YouTube channelEmail: podcast@jasna.org

Guest host Jamie Selzler welcomes North Dakota Representative Austen Schauer from District 13 for an extended conversation that covers a verity of topic in state and local politics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has added his voice to calls for an apology for what he has called the state's role in the "terrible tragedy" of historic forced adoptions. Between 1949 and 1976, thousands of pregnant women and girls in the UK were sent away to "prison-like" homes run by the church and state and had their babies put up for adoption. In 2021, an inquiry concluded that the State bore ultimate responsibility for the suffering inflicted on vulnerable women and their children, calling on the government to issue an official apology. Anna Foster was joined by Diana Defries, chair of the Movement for Adoption Apology and Karen Constantine, author of Taken, experiences of forced adoption, to give their reaction to the intervention by the former PM and whether they will be granted an apology.Paula Byrne, Jane Austen's biographer and also a novelist, has spent 25 years researching and writing about the iconic author. In this 250th anniversary year of Austen's birth, she joined Kylie Pentelow to talk about her new novel, Six Weeks by the Sea, which is her first fictional treatment of Austen and tells the story of how she imagines the most famous romance writer of all time first fell in love.If you've been watching any of the Women's Rugby World Cup you may have seen ‘high tech mouthguards being used. They will now flash red — signally potentially high impacts, requiring players to have a head injury assessment - a move aimed at improving player safety. So just how safe is it for women to play rugby? What are the risks of getting injured, and what is being done to mitigate those risks? We hear from Fi Tomas, women's sports reporter at the Telegraph, Dr Izzy Moore, reader in human movement and sports medicine at Cardiff Metropolitan University and Welsh Ruby Union injury surveillance project lead, and Dr Anna Stodter, senior lecturer in sport coaching at Leeds Beckett University, former Sottish International player, who also coaches the university team.After learning about the threat to harvest mice in the UK, 13 year old friends Eva and Emily decided to breed 250 of them at home and release them into a local nature reserve - with the help of a crowdfunder and Chris Packham. Women who've been stalked, or had to take out a restraining order, have a much higher chance of suffering a heart attack or stroke, according to a new study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. It followed a group of over 66,000 women across 10 years, and found those who'd been stalked were 41% more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, with those who'd taken out a restraining orders 71% more likely to have heart problems. Kylie talked to Dr Audrey Murchland, one of the lead researchers who carried out the study, about their findings.Justine Lee is a knitwear designer of 30 years who fell out of love with fast fashion.

Tech and business seem to be very far from each other, but they can't exist without each other, and it's best if people have a level of understanding in both.In this MOSE SHorts segment, Phil and Ildiko are chatting with Austen Bryan about getting the education that one needs for their carrier. Austen went to school to learn about tech first, but shortly after finishing he decided it wasn't enough for him and he went back to also get an MBA.

The group also touches on bad management, and what that can lead to.Learn more about:- Options and preferences to study business- When it's best to get an MBA- Bad managers and servant leadership Hosted on Acast.

Juan Luis Álvarez le dedica el capítulo del podcast Enseriados a Keeley Hawes. La actriz más completa y versátil de la televisión británica. Fue espía en “Spooks”, ha trabajado en series de ciencia ficción como Doctor Who, clásicas tipo “Arriba y abajo” (nueva versión). Su gran revelación se producjo cuando interpretó a una policía que acusa de acoso sexual a un compañero en "Line of Duty" y como la adorable mamá de "Los Durrell". Tiene dos series de estreno, lo que justifica, además, recuperar su primer gran éxito "The bodyguard". The bodyguard (Netflix, temporada 1, 6 episodios) David Budd (Richard Madden) es un veterano de guerra que trabaja como especialista en protección para la Policía Metropolitana de Londres. Cuando se le asigna proteger a la ministra Julia Montague, cuya visión política apoya todo lo que él detesta, Budd se encuentra en una encrucijada entre su labor y sus creencias. Suspense y acción agitados, pero no revueltos. Lo mejor: La química entre Madden (Juego de Tronos) y Hawes es espectacular. Lo peor: Que no hayan encontrado la forma de hilar una continuación.

A través de estas cartas, la serie explora la juventud de las hermanas Austen, sus sueños, amores y desafíos. Lo mejor: Lo claro que tiene que es un producto "feelgood" y lo consecuente que es con ello. Lo peor: Algún ligero patinazo interpretativo.

Una asesina retirada en Grecia, recibe la visita de su hijo, que busca respuestas sobre su padre y el pasado de su madre. Ambos se encuentran en peligro cuando el antiguo jefe de la sicaria le encarga una última y muy comprometida misión.

250 years after her birth, Jane Austen is more popular than ever, with the publication of new editions of her novels and numerous new film adaptations in production. But what does it mean to read and edit Jane Austen today through the lens of colonialism, cartography, and race? Scholar Patricia A. Matthew, who recently edited new editions of three Austen novels, joins us to explore the ongoing fascination with Jane and share new research about the Regency era. How wealth from Caribbean sugar plantations and slavery shaped the world depicted in Austen's novels—and how today's readers can confront the economic and imperial histories embedded in Regency-era fiction. During her fellowship at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Patricia Matthew examined archival materials, including legal texts, maps, travel logs, and legal documents, to gain a better understanding of colonial sugar plantations in the Caribbean. She looked at how empire and enslavement wealth from the new world, slavery, and race informed (or didn't) the literature and visual culture of the 18th– and 19th–century Britainies. This research now shapes Matthew Patricia's new annotated editions of Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, and Mansfield Park, and opens up broader conversations about adaptation, nostalgia, and canon formation. From overlooked maps folded into rare archival books to questions of literary escapism and cultural memory, Patricia offers a rich and expansive perspective on Jane Austen, her era, and her legacy in 2025. >> Pre-order Patricia Matthew's new editions of Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey from Penguin Classics, and Mansfield Park from Norton Library.

Think you know Jane Austen? In this episode, we explore the wild side of Austen's writings, life, and legacy with noted scholar Devoney Looser, who makes the case for Austen as a far more daring and unconventional figure than her prim Victorian reputation suggests. Whether you're new to Austen or a longtime Janeite, this episode offers a lively take on the beloved author—and reminds us why we're all a little wild for Austen.Devoney Looser is Regents Professor of English at Arizona State University, a Guggenheim Fellow, an NEH Public Scholar, and a Rockefeller Bellagio Fellow. She is the author of Sister Novelists: The Trailblazing Porter Sisters, Who Paved the Way for Austen and the Brontës, The Making of Jane Austen, The Daily Jane Austen, and her latest, Wild for Austen: A Rebellious, Subversive, and Untamed Jane, which will be released September 2, 2025. A life member of the Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA) and frequent speaker at JASNA conferences, Looser has also skated in roller derby under the name Stone Cold Jane Austen.For a transcript and show notes, visit https://jasna.org/austen/podcast/ep26/.*********Visit our website: www.jasna.orgFollow us on Instagram and FacebookSubscribe to the podcast on our YouTube channelEmail: podcast@jasna.org

P&C drink and review a single-hop beer from Brookeville Beer Farm, then Crowhill quizzes Pigweed on the most important characters in English literature. Crowhill combined replies from both ChatGPT and Grok to create a test for Pigweed. The prompt read as follow: "Please give me a list of the 30 most important characters in English literature. By important I mean they have made a lasting impression on the culture, they're cited, they're imitated or referenced in other works, and so on. Please exclude the Bible. Please give no more than two characters from any given author. Please list the character, the author, the book in which the character appears, and a brief description of the character." Pigweed does a great job guessing characters from Shakespeare, Austen, Bronte, Conan Doyle, Orwell, Dickens, Twain, Orwell, and others. The boys also give an update to their "have we reached the end of woke" show.

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Mike Sangregorio dig into the Superman bibliography of notorious writer Chuck Austen, including his 2004-2005 run on ACTION COMICS with Ivan Reis — which resurrected the decades-old romantic rivalry between Lois Lane & Lana Lang, introduced a new Gog, and infused Clark with a Spidey-esque sensibility. Anthony and Mike also unpack a pair of fill-in issues (on SUPERMAN and SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL), the 12-issue maxiseries SUPERMAN: METROPOLIS starring Jimmy Olsen, and the JLA arc "Pain of the Gods." Are all the fans and critics right about Austen, or is there any redemption to be had? Oh, and have Anthony and Mike solved the mystery of writer J.D.

Federica Brunini"Effetto Jane Austen"Feltrinelli Editorewww.feltrinellieditore.itL'incarico della rivista è chiaro: andare nei luoghi di Jane Austen e capire perché, a duecentocinquant'anni dalla nascita, l'autrice di Orgoglio e pregiudizio è ancora così letta e amata, soprattutto dai più giovani.Di articoli e reportage Amelia Maini Moss − per i colleghi semplicemente la Mossa − ne ha fatti a centinaia, da ogni angolo del mondo. Cresciuta tra l'Inghilterra della nonna, da cui ha ereditato il nome, e l'Italia, è diventata una fotogiornalista di grido, prima di dedicarsi alla famiglia e mettere da parte penna e macchina fotografica. Sarà ancora in grado di realizzare un lavoro ben fatto?Nonostante le remore, Amelia decide di accettare. E senza saperlo inizia un viaggio che si rivelerà sorprendente. Quando arriva nello Hampshire, tra cottage suggestivi e villaggi idilliaci, la sua strada incrocia forzatamente quella di George ed Emma Dubois, padre e figlia, venuti apposta dal Canada per celebrare un'importante ricorrenza. Emma, diciottenne appassionata della Austen e ideatrice di un seguitissimo canale social, considera la scrittrice inglese la sua eroina; Amelia, invece, la vede come un'icona anacronistica e sopravvalutata. Tuttavia, immersa nei paesaggi che ispirarono i romanzi, dalla casa di Chawton ai palazzi di Bath, si trova a rileggere non solo Jane Austen, ma anche la propria vita e la propria visione della femminilità, del sentimento, del matrimonio e della maternità.Fino a scoprire, man mano che le tensioni cedono il passo a confidenze e a momenti di imprevista complicità, che anche nelle differenze si possono trovare risposte inaspettate. E che “non c'è incanto più grande della tenerezza del cuore”.Cosa può dire Jane Austen oggi alla Gen Z, a duecentocinquant'anni dalla sua nascita?Una giornalista in crisi, che ritiene la Austen obsoleta.Una booktoker diciottenne che ha fatto della scrittrice britannica la sua eroina.Un viaggio in Inghilterra, da Chawton a Bath, tra contrattempi e sorprese.Una commedia frizzante e intelligente, che mette a confronto due generazioni e due visioni opposte del romanticismo e dell'emancipazione.Federica Brunini è scrittrice, giornalista e instancabile viaggiatrice. Già responsabile della comunicazione in Italia e all'estero, ha scritto per il “Corriere della Sera”, “L'Espresso”, “People”, “Grazia”, “Vanity Fair” e tante altre testate, ed è “Royal Watcher” in tv e sulla carta stampata. Per Feltrinelli, ha pubblicato: Quattro tazze di tempesta (2016), Due sirene in un bicchiere (2018), tradotto in Spagna, Olanda, Lituania, Cina e che ha ispirato la serie tv di Canale 5 “Le onde del passato”, e La circonferenza dell'alba (2020). In La regina mi ha detto: Queen Elizabeth in parole sue (Gribaudo, 2023) ha raccolto e commentato le citazioni della sovrana più longeva della storia.Fondatrice della Travel Therapy in Italia, vive con la valigia tra Milano e il mondo.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

This week I sit down with personal development coach and self-help author Ant Austen for a raw and real conversation about why mindset coaching is the missing piece in many entrepreneurs' journeys. Ant shares how confronting the root of his own limiting beliefs led to a powerful transformation in both his personal life and business success. We dive into why founders and business owners often hit emotional walls, how mindset blocks show up in leadership and decision-making, and why personal healing fuels sustainable growth. Ant also opens up about his new book, Who the Hell Are You?, a bold invitation to get radically honest with yourself. Whether you're building a brand, scaling a business, or navigating burnout, this episode offers powerful tools to help you shift from stuck to unstoppable.To learn more about Ant and to purchase his book visit : https://bethelimitlessyou.kit.com/breakthemold?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafRQ3J9xGntD8epx8721PbGStzPK8fCUznJwPO6iL690z-o4tpvP2AVucWq3g_aem_XPtA4FDy6BFqyDA9k6Q7bQ

This week, we're doing something a little different in honour of Cris's birthday – and what better way to celebrate than by diving into a handpicked selection of actors whose careers, films, or sheer star quality connect (tenuously or not) to our resident birthday boy. There's no Top 5 this time around – instead, it's all about Helen Mirren, Kate Beckinsale, Kevin Spacey, Jason Statham, and Sandra Bullock, with a war film classic anchoring the episode: Full Metal Jacket.

This week on the KPL Podcast, we're joined by special guest Andrew Kuhlman to talk about Austen's Pride—the dazzling new musical now playing at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center. In this imaginative reworking of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen herself takes center stage, embarking on a journey of self-discovery. As the iconic romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy unfolds in a fresh light, Austen uncovers surprising truths about her characters—and herself. RecommendationsSandstorm by James Rollins (book1 of Sigma Series)

Our Summer 2025 series, Beside Still Waters, focuses on the places where creativity brings life into a world fatigued by brokenness and division. From jazz to Jane Austen and in between, this season we'll focus on the ways literature and the arts can refresh and challenge our inner lives—and connect us with the Creator of the good, the true, and the beautiful.In this episode, our focus is Jane Austen, and our guide is Karen Swallow Prior, one of our Trinity Forum Senior Fellows.Karen explores the faith-informed perspective on virtue that Austen's novels reflect:"Underneath the surface [Austen] is inviting us to look at our own interactions with one another, our own misperceptions, and misreadings, and I think that's really why her work has remained so endearing to us today; because she reveals the truths of our human condition that never change, and that we're always wrestling with."Jane Austen's world and concerns seem distant from ours. Yet across the centuries, she illuminates the importance of the seemingly mundane, and the path towards repaired and rightly ordered relationships. If this work resonates with you, consider joining the Trinity Forum community as a member, at ttf.org.

In celebration of Jane Austen's 250th birthday, host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Margaret Pinard take a deep dive into one of Austen's later novels, PERSUASION, marvelously narrated by Golden Voice Juliet Stevenson. Stevenson's vocal interpretations make the characters pop with life, and her narration enhances the text so beautifully that one thinks the author must have coached her. It's the perfect time to revisit this classic, or to listen to it for the first time. Happy birthday, Jane Austen! Read our review of PERSUASION at our website. Published by Naxos AudioBooks.

Veronica Litt's Ugh As If!: Clueless (ECW Press, 2025) uncovers the complex layers beneath the glossy surface of the 1995 classic film "Clueless." Litt investigates not just the Austen satire but the film's deeper ethical questions about femininity, innocence, bias, and inequity. A sweet and sly exploration of the Jane Austen–inspired teen movie and its evergreen imperative to be kind, do better, and find the activist within We are totally butt-crazy in love with "Clueless." Since the movie's premiere in 1995, pop culture has mined Amy Heckerling's high school comedy for inspiration, from Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX's “Fancy” music video to Cher's iconic yellow plaid suit appearing at every Halloween party. In Ugh As If!, Veronica Litt argues that this seemingly fluffy teen romp is the quintessential thinking woman's movie, one in which the audience is asked to seriously consider the beauty and power of naïveté. Cher Horowitz's gradual pivot from oblivious it girl to burgeoning activist is a powerful reminder that even the most unlikely people can change for the better and contribute to their communities. In this bright, shiny film, pursuing a more just society isn't just possible — it's enjoyable. This fun, feminine, feel-good movie is a counter-narrative to nihilism, a refusal to give into cynicism, hopelessness, and passivity. Almost without viewers noticing, "Clueless" teaches Cher, and us, how to become better. Like the film it examines, Ugh As If! nudges even the most jaded viewer into feeling hopeful about the future.

Today we're covering Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld! Aside from reading Austen, this is our first ever straight-up book review! Spoiler alert for Eligible. This adaptation of Pride and Prejudice is set in 2013 Cincinnati. The eldest Bennet sisters are approaching 40 and Mr. and Mrs. Bennet are country club parents who don't care that they're deep in debt. Jane and Liz end up back in Cincinnati when Mr. Bennet has a heart attack.Topics discussed include our honest criticisms of the book, the success of the class commentary, the splitting of Wick/Ham, Darcy and Liz as fuck buddies, the Catherine de Bourgh-ification of Caroline Bingley, kissing your cousin, the charade of love and performance of courtship on reality TV, ace Mary, mortgages, and gender roles in the regency era vs. early 2010s.Funniest quote: Surely, if Liz had learned that anybody in her social circle in New York had eloped with somebody transgender, she'd have greeted the news with support. She might even have felt that self-congratulatory pride that heterosexual white people are known to experience due to proximate diversity.Questions: Do you agree with our criticisms? Have you read the other books in the Austen Project? How seriously did you take the book? Who wins the book?

Meanwhile, Elizabeth guides us through the lore, love, and legacy of Austen's timeless story—with all the drama, wit, and longing glances your heart can handle.

In this episode of American Potential, guest Austen Bannon, employment policy fellow at Americans for Prosperity, breaks down two urgent issues costing Americans time, opportunity, and tax dollars: outdated rules that make it nearly impossible to fire underperforming federal workers, and laws that prevent gig workers from getting the portable benefits they need. Austen explains how commonsense reforms—like simplifying the process for removing federal employees who aren't doing their jobs—could save taxpayers millions and restore accountability in government. He also shares how states like Utah, Tennessee, and Alabama are pioneering voluntary portable benefits programs that allow independent contractors to pool resources for health care and retirement, giving them greater freedom and security in the modern economy. Learn how modernizing these rules can empower workers, foster innovation, and ensure our government works better for everyone. Join us for a practical conversation on cutting red tape, expanding opportunity, and unleashing the potential of America's dynamic workforce.

“There is one thing, Emma, which a man can always do, if he chooses, and that is his duty." —Mr. KnightleyWe believe Jane Austen is for everyone, but it's no secret that her modern fanbase is predominantly female. But why is that, and what might men be missing? Brett McKay joins us in this episode to share how he first discovered Austen's work and why more men should read her books. Along the way, we touch on Austen's Aristotelian ideas of virtue, the qualities that make a good man, the importance of choosing the right spouse, and how reading her works can help everyone become the best version of themselves.Brett McKay is the founder of The Art of Manliness, a website and podcast dedicated to helping men “grow up well, reach their potential, and become better friends, mentors, husbands, fathers, and citizens.” Since 2008 he has interviewed hundreds of authors and scholars on a wide range of subjects, from philosophy to weight-lifting, dinner-party planning to hostage negotiation. In 2023, he interviewed Austen scholar John Mullan in an episode entitled “Jane Austen for Dudes.” For a transcript and show notes, visit https://jasna.org/austen/podcast/ep25/.*********Visit our website: www.jasna.orgFollow us on Instagram and FacebookSubscribe to the podcast on our YouTube channelEmail: podcast@jasna.org

Celine Song's new MATERIALISTS feints at being a romcom, but it's far too interested in the economic realities and calculated compromise of modern dating for the label to be a comfortable fit; its romantic leanings are more in line with the works of Jane Austen and several cinematic adaptations thereof, as laid out in the “movie syllabus” Song made for her film and which inspired this pairing. But MATERIALISTS is more of a riff on Austen than a flat-out homage, and Song's spin on the material worked better for some than others on this panel. We get into that before bringing Austen back into the picture via Joe Wright's PRIDE & PREJUDICE to see how past speaks to present when it comes to the intersection of wealth and marriage, the art of matchmaking, nature as the realm of romance vs. the cold scrutiny of society, and the centuries-spanning fear of being “left on the shelf” as a single woman. Then in Your Next Picture Show we touch on some of the other films on Song's list and how they might have fit into this pairing as a triple feature.  Please share your thoughts about PRIDE & PREJUDICE, MATERIALISTS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Celine Song's new not-quite-a-rom-com MATERIALISTS openly evokes Jane Austen in its focus on the rituals and codes of courtship, as well as its frankness about how one's net worth can shape their romantic prospects. That could have led us to any number of Austen adaptations, but few as instantly beguiling as Joe Wright's 2005 feature debut, PRIDE & PREJUDICE. So this week we're discussing what makes Wright's “muddy hem” take on the material stand out in a crowded field of Austen adaptations, whether the film's lush style complements or drowns out its substance, and why that hand flex made such a meme-able impression. And in Feedback,  a listener schools us on poetry and philosophy as it relates to the most opaque segment of I'M NOT THERE. Please share your thoughts about PRIDE & PREJUDICE, MATERIALISTS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Roger E. Moore to explore the lesser-known historical context of the works of Jane Austen, born 250 years ago this year. They question how Austen's novels like 'Northanger Abbey' and 'Mansfield Park' reflect on the dissolution of the monasteries and 18th and 19th-century societal changes. Austen used settings like the ruins of monasteries to comment on the political and social upheavals of her era, adding a sophisticated layer to her tales of romance, family, and fortune.MORE:Dissolution of the Monasterieshttps://open.spotify.com/episode/5OsI7vLHogEtqWiQsGfHgCThe Reformation: What Catholics & Protestants Believedhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/3vZTFiKuIlSfzsQDLQd4ZrPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.
