He is regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language; though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he came to be regarded a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. (Wikipedia) About Heart of Darkness: Heart of Darkness (1899) is a novella by Polish-English novelist Joseph Conrad in which the sailor Charles Marlow tells his listeners the story of his assignment as steamer captain for a Belgian company in the African interior. The novel is widely regarded as a critique of European colonial rule in Africa, whilst also examining the themes of power dynamics and morality. Although Conrad does not name the river on which most of the narrative takes place, at the time of writing the Congo Free State, the location of the large and economically important Congo River, was a private colony of Belgium's King Leopold II. Marlow is given a text by Kurtz, an ivory trader working on a trading station far up the river, who has "gone native" and is the object of Marlow's expedition.

Orgies, drinking songs, and - perhaps most damagingly of all - Paganism were rumoured tools of the colonist Thomas Morton when he established Merrymount, New England. It wasn't long before he was deported back to Britain by the Puritans on 9th June, 1628.It was his sympathy for the locals which had really done for him. But the headline-grabbing moment was his erection of a Westcountry-stye maypole, around which locals and settlers had danced and drank, and generally cavorted in ways that colonists aren't usually disposed to do.In this episode Rebecca, Arion and Olly consider why Morton's story is so rarely taught in schools; interrogate Encyclopedia Britannica's description of him as ‘picturesque'; and ask just how different Massachusetts really was from 17th century Devon...Further Reading:• Bob Neufeld reads Nathaniel Hawthorne's ‘The May-Pole of Merry Mount' (1836):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZzS5xIZ4rI• ‘The Maypole That Infuriated the Puritans', from The New England Historical Society: https://www.newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/maypole-infuriated-puritans/• ‘The two men who almost derailed New England's first colonies' at The Conversation (2016): https://theconversation.com/the-two-men-who-almost-derailed-new-englands-first-colonies-68213For bonus material and to support the show, visit Patreon.com/RetrospectorsWe'll be back tomorrow!

This is an audiobook of The Republic by Plato, narrated by Bob Neufeld. The Republic by Plato, written around 380 BC, is the best known work of Plato as well as one of the most widely read & influential works of philosophy ever written. It is written as a dialogue – specifically, a Socratic dialogue. These particular works are written to solve philosophical problems & concerns by way of two or more characters conversing with each other, with Socrates often appearing as the main subject. The Republic discusses many of the philosophies of Plato, including his theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, the ideal of the philosopher-king, and more. It is written as 10 books, each of which features Socrates engaging in philosophical debate & Socratic dialogue with other characters. The Republic has been commented on by scores of philosophers, writers, and rulers – each of whom seem to respect it for its place in antiquity (at the least), even if they might disagree with Plato on the substance.
