Podcasts about Brideshead Revisited

Nestled in the Howardian Hills of ‘God's own country' of Yorkshire, something extraordinary is happening at Vanbrugh's great English Baroque masterpiece, Castle Howard. Famed for its seminal role in Brideshead Revisited and Bridgerton, for 75 years, an entire wing of Castle Howard has remained a burnt-out shell after fire ravaged the house in 1940.But in recent years, Castle Howard's current custodian - Nick Howard - and his wife Victoria, have overseen a remarkable 21st century renaissance, bringing in the country's best architects, designers and craftsmen to begin the monumental task of returning these burnt-out rooms to their former glory.Joining Geoff and Rory on the podcast this week, Nick Howard discusses the decision making process behind this revival, and talks us through the renovation journey. The results are a triumph, and testify to Nick and Victoria's dedication to Castle Howard and their desire to secure its future for many generations to come.

Charles returns to a transformed Brideshead, where the Flyte family's tangled ties of love, guilt, and faith pull him deeper into their unraveling world. Amidst war's stark shadow, old promises clash with new desires, and the estate stands as both sanctuary and judge to a life Charles can't escape. Join us for part two of Brideshead Revisited in this episode of the #BecomeFire Podcast.

Charles Ryder, a curious Oxford dreamer, meets Sebastian Flyte, a magnetic soul whose lavish life promises an alluring freedom. At the grand estate that looms over their friendship, beauty battles with duty, and every laugh hides a secret waiting to unravel. Join us in this week's episode of the #BecomeFire Podcast as we open up part one of Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh.

Trigger warning: in deze aflevering wordt gesproken over seksueel misbruik. Florian Myjer is theatermaker en acteur, geprezen om zijn theatrale adaptaties van literaire klassiekers (o.a. ‘Oorlog en Vrede', ‘Mann Mann Mann'). Van 2021 tot 2024 maakte hij deel uit van de artistieke leiding van Theatergroep De Warme Winkel. In 2023 ging ‘Brideshead Revisited' (selectie Nederlands Theaterfestival 2024) in première op het Holland Festival, waarin wederom een literaire klassieker als basis diende - ditmaal als een autopsie van de liefde en een ontvouwing van onze (seksuele) identiteit. Voor zijn rol in de film ‘Sweet Dreams' won hij een Gouden Kalf voor Beste Bijrol. Sinds 2024 is Myjer onderdeel van het artistieke team van Theater Oostpool. Nu speelt hij in ‘Schuldig Kind', gebaseerd op het werk van Ted van Lieshout, samen met Bram Coopmans en Sander Plukaard. Femke van der Laan gaat met Florian Myjer in gesprek.

In this episode, Dr. Orlandi sat down with Dr. Scott Roniger, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, to discuss beauty, love, and faith. This time, the excuse was philosophical and literary ... all at once. Dr. Roniger, a philosophy of literature scholar, was recently the author of a paper bringing together the platonic symposium and Waugh's most famous novel. Tune in to hear about charm and beauty, about educating eros, and about metaphoric and embodied ascents to truth redemption. Hopefully, Dr. Roniger will visit us in person soon too.

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met theatermaker Florian Myjer.  Zijn uit 2023 daterende voorstelling Brideshead Revisited toert momenteel door het land. Brideshead Revisited van theatergroep De Warme Winkel ging in juni 2023 in première op het Holland Festival en stond een maand lang stijf uitverkocht in de grote zaal van theaterbroedplaats De Sloot. De voorstelling werd geselecteerd door het Nederlands Theaterfestival als één van de meest indrukwekkende producties van het seizoen.  Na het succesvolle Lady Chatterley's Lover brengt De Warme Winkel en Myjer opnieuw een Engelse literatuurklassieker naar het theater. Florian Myjer katapulteert samen met Abke Haring Brideshead Revisited de 21e-eeuw in.

"O God, if there is a God, forgive him his sins, if there is such a thing as sin." - Stine laat schrijver en filosoof Rik Peels aan het woord over deze zin uit de film Bridesheads Revisited.

Today I sat down with Vanessa Beaumont, a former literary agent and novelist about her debut novel The Other Side of Paradise which follows Jean Buckman, a young American newspaper heiress, who arrives in London in the glittering 1920s, and evolves throughout the story, through personal tragedy and loss. Over the course of the story, we watch her grapple with the pressures of mid-Century society on a woman, what it means to do one's duty, and the pull of desire in the face of it all. It's kind of a Downtown Abbey meets Francis Scott Fitzgerald, with a modern feminist perspective As always, Vanessa picked the four books which have had the biggest impact on her as both a reader and a writer, and we also discussed her career trajectory. Before publishing The Other Side of Paradise, Vanessa spent 8 years as a Commissioning Editor at Short Books, and co-founded and ran a literary agency, so it was fascinating to get some insights from that. It was such a great conversation, and as always, such a pleasure talking with Vanessa. Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading! Vanessa Beaumont's four books were: Little Women, Louisa May Alcott (1868) The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton (1920) Brideshead Revisited, Evelyn Waugh (1945) Tender is the Night, F Scott Fitzgerald (1934)

Lee Child created his tough guy protagonist Jack Reacher, a former military policeman who roams America fighting crime, in 1997. Writing a book a year since his debut Killing Floor, Lee Child established himself as one of the most acclaimed and popular novelists in his genre, and has now sold over 100 million copies worldwide. The Reacher books have been adapted for a film starring Tom Cruise and, more recently, an Amazon Prime television series. Lee Child's latest publication, Safe Enough, is a collection of short stories. Talking to John Wilson, Child recalls his upbringing in Birmingham and how his childhood passion for reading was fuelled by frequent visits to the local library. For This Cultural Life, he chooses a Ladybird book which told the Biblical story of David and Goliath as an early inspiration, acknowledging that the giant figure of Goliath probably inspired the physique of 6'5” tall Reacher. He also remembers the impact of a book called My American Home which depicted an array of houses and apartments throughout America, the country in which Child would later live and set his novels. He also discusses how working for 18 years as a Granada television producer, overseeing the transmission of dramas including Brideshead Revisited, helped forge his understanding of storytelling. His work as a union shop steward, which brought him into conflict with management and eventually led to him being made redundant, was the catalyst for his new career as a crime novelist in the late 1990s. His debut Reacher novel, a violent tale of vengeance and rough justice was, he admits, written out of anger following his dismissal from Granada. Lee Child also chooses the 1990 movie Dances With Wolves, directed by and starring Kevin Costner, as another influence on the creation of his fictional hero Jack Reacher.

Will & Jared cover the polarizing and popular indie sleaze film from late last year, Emerald Fennell's SALTBURN!Is it a biting satire of the idle rich, or a tawdry take on Brideshead Revisited for the Euphoria generation?

Did we forget to mention that Barry Keoghan is in his thirties and should probably stop playing teenagers?

‘Stoner' is a classic campus novel that has been on my (Sophie's TBR) for years and years - it's one of those novels that is almost universally loved. It's going to be very interesting to see the comparisons between seminal campus novels from opposite sides of the Atlantic. We've featured Evelyn Waugh's ‘Brideshead Revisited', and now it's the turn of ‘Stoner'.

Two sprawling estates, two wealthy aristocratic families, and two potential usurpers. What's an affluent and dysfunctional family to do? Screenwriter and attorney Matthew Pike joins me for a lively discussion on this pair of films, one a period drama and the other, a biting, shock-laugh-inducing satire. Plus, poll results, interactive trivia, and listener shout-outs!

This week, we're catching up with one of the Oscar-shortlisted Best Score nominees -- Anthony Willis' score to Emerald Fennell's lavish, mysterious thriller Saltburn. Fennell's second directorial feature, after Promising Young Woman, is a kind of Brideshead Revisited by way of Tom Ripley and mid-2000s party culture: A mysterious young bloke named Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) follows his irrepressible attraction to fellow Oxford pretty-boy Felix (Jacob Elordi) all the way to Felix's palatial mansion, Saltburn. There, he immerses himself in the hedonistic lifestyles of the ultra-rich, all the while hoping to catch a glimmer of Felix's attention -- or does he?   Reuniting with Fennell for his second score with her, composer Anthony Willis crafts a suitably Gothic sound for her idiosyncratic class thriller. Opening with romantic strings, transitioning into classical choir, then electric pianos and additional layers and textures, Willis draws the listener in like one of Oliver's obsessions, before disrupting the film's jagged classicism with rough modern electronic textures and a sense of sweeping orchestral doom.   Today, we talk to Willis about all of that and more, including his longtime collaboration with Fennell and his early life as a chorister at Windsor Castle.   You can find Anthony Willis at his official website.   Saltburn is currently available for rental or streaming on Prime Video. You can also listen to the score on your preferred music streaming service courtesy of Milan Records.

Emerald Fennell's follow up to the outstanding debut, A Promising Young Woman, isn't as vital or brilliant, but certainly has plenty to recommend. Mainly it's pairing of Barry Keoghan and a stellar Rosamund Pike. It's an often great, if superficial and fairly meaningless collision between Brideshead Revisited and The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Carl is joined by actor Simon Jones, whose distinguished career has included King George V on "Downton Abbey", stage productions on Broadway and the West End,  and his current role as Bannister on HBO's "The Gilded Age".Simon takes us backstage as he discusses his career from his earliest roles, including in the radio drama version of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and film version, his role as Brideshead in the iconic 1981 adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's "Brideshead Revisited", and his work with John Cleese and "the Pythons" among others.  Simon also discusses his experiences with his many well-known co-stars and colleagues over the years, including Sir Laurence Olivier, Dame Maggie Smith,  Lauren Bacall, Penelope Keith and Angela Lansbury.  In addition, Simon takes us behind the cameras and shares some fascinating insight on creating the role of Bannister on HBO's "The Gilded Age". 

Chairman Mao was a librarian. Stalin was a published poet. Evelyn Waugh served as a commando - before leaving to write Brideshead Revisited. Since the advent of modern warfare, books have all too often found themselves on the frontline. In The Book At War: Libraries and Readers in an Age of Conflict (Basic Books, 2023), acclaimed historian Dr. Andrew Pettegree traces the surprising ways in which written culture - from travel guides and scientific papers to Biggles and Anne Frank - has shaped, and been shaped, by the conflicts of the modern age. From the American Civil War to the invasion of Ukraine, books, authors and readers have gone to war - and in the process become both deadly weapons and our most persuasive arguments for peace. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

We all know that Oscar fawns over costume dramas of literary adaptations… or so we tell ourselves when forming predictions and one with a whiff of prestige arrives. In 2008, director Julian Jerrold delivered a new adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited with an up-and-coming young cast paired with Dame Emma Thompson as the devoutly religious Lady … Continue reading "265 – Brideshead Revisited"

Saltburn, the dark psychological thriller starring Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi, is the second feature film from writer/director Emerald Fennell after her Oscar-nominated debut, Promising Young Women.

Osman, Thomas and Mel review the film (spoiler-free) and discuss the most controversial moments, what works and what doesn't, and how it compares to classics like Brideshead Revisited and The Talented Mr Ripley. Then they talk about the second episode of The Curse, which is fast becoming one of the best and strangest shows of the year.

Simon Morris looks at three films that all revisit familiar ideas - a prequel to a popular franchise, a horror film inspired by a joke trailer and a modern day take on the English upper classes of Downton Abbey and Brideshead Revisited. The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the prequel to the popular series, sees the young Coriolanus Snow fall in love with a Tribute - one of the contestants in the lethal Games. Stars Rachel Zegler (West Side Story), Tom Blyth (TV's The Gilded Age) and Viola Davis (The Woman King). Saltburn finds a penniless student invited to the country house of the aristocratic Catton family. Starring Barry Keoghan (The Banshees of Inisherin), Rosamund Pike (Gone girl) and Archie Madekwe (Gran Turismo), it's written and directed by Emerald Fennell (Promising young woman). And Thanksgiving is a horror film that started out as a parody Grindhouse trailer before turning in to the real thing. Starring Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy), it's directed by Eli Roth (Hostel).

We zetten een traditie voort. Elke zomer behandelen Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger een serie boeiende en interessante boeken die ook voor het komende podcast-seizoen veel inspiratie bieden voor verdieping, inzicht en uitzicht.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst vind je altijd hier***00:03:05Als eerste De Reynaert, leven met een middeleeuws meesterwerk door Frits van Oostrom. Een meesterwerk van de grote kenner van onze middeleeuwse letterkunde. En hóe actueel. Het verhaal van de slimme vos is in het Oekraïne van vandaag warempel een opbeurend kinderboek en kent ook in vele andere talen navolging. Goethe was er zo verrukt van dat hij zijn eigen variant schreef! PG benadrukt het door en door politieke karakter van dit klassieke dierenepos. In de kern is het een verfijnd opgebouwd geheel van intriges in het politieke centrum van het dierenrijk, het hof van de leeuw Koning Nobel. En het schildert een wrede, normloze wereld waarin bedrog, geweld en humor strijden om de aandacht van de luisteraar. De Reynaert is onze poëtische Machiavelli, eeuwen voor de Italiaanse topambtenaar Il Principe schreef.00:24:48Het tweede boek is heel anders. De eerste moderne geschiedenis van de DDR. Katja Hoyer schreef Diesseits der Mauer, eine neue Geschichte der DDR 1949-1990 (ook uitgegeven als Achter de Muur. Oost-Duitsland 1949 – 1990. Een rijk boek vol onverwachte blikken in de binnenwereld van een gruwelijke dictatuur waarin iedereen probeerde toch nog iets te maken van zijn leven. Aandacht daarom ook voor de zeer verschillende reacties op dit boek, want Hoyer kreeg in Duitsland de wind van voren. PG verwacht dat over enkele jaren een boek zal verschijnen over hoe men in 2022-2023 dit boek las en interpreteerde. Want dat is op zichzelf een deel van de geschiedenis van het Duitse zelfbeeld.00:46:37Het derde boek is Who Dares Wins, Britain 1979-1982. Het is het slot van een meeslepende reeks boeken van Dominic Sandbrook over de Britse cultuur en politiek van de Suezcrisis in 1956 tot de Falklandoorlog in 1982. Van de ondergang van een Empire, een culturele revolutie van jongeren en popmuziek tot de eerste vrouw als premier in Number 10. Dit laatste deel gaat over die jaren van Maggie, van het plotselinge succes van Brideshead Revisited en een heftige strijd om de ziel van de natie. 00:58:39Het vierde boek is voor PG een van de belangrijkste die hij in jaren heeft gelezen. Karl Schlögel schreef zijn magnum opus Das Sowjetische Jahrhundert, archäologie einer untergegangener Welt (ook uitgegeven als The Soviet Century, Archaeology of a Lost World). Hij schildert daarin de cultuur, politiek en samenleving van die verdwenen supermacht. Van Stalins kookboek tot het crematoruim van Moskou. Hoe de Goelagarchipel in wezen een groot sociaal en educatief experiment was met 'de Nieuwe Mens', dat door kunstenaars gevierd moest worden als groot cultureel fenomeen.01:15:40Het vijfde boek behandelt maar liefst tien eeuwen van Europa: Dan Jones, Powers and Thrones, a new history of the Middle Ages (ook uitgegeven als Van Rome tot Rome, een nieuwe geschiedenis van de middeleeuwen). Zijn Middeleeuwen zijn geen duister en barbaarse tijd, maar eeuwen van globalisering en culturele connecties en conflicten. Met de Islam, met de Mongoolse imperia, met pandemieën en de grootse cultuur van een Europa dat met het Latijn een taal had waarin over heel het continent gecommuniceerd werd. We ontmoeten Herman de Lamme, een ernstig gehandicapte jongen, die op het eiland Reichenau in de Bodensee uitgroeit tot een geleerde met eeuwenlang invloed.01:25:49Tot slot keren we terug bij de Britse historicus Andrew Roberts, al eerder gast in Betrouwbare Bronnen met zijn meesterwerk over Churchill. Ook zijn nieuwste biografie is er een van de buitencategorie: George III, The Life and Reign of Britain's Most Misunderstood Monarch (ook uitgegeven als George III, het leven van de meest onbegrepen koning van Engeland). Over een tragische man wiens reputatie in bijna elk opzicht onverdiend blijkt.George III zat 60 jaar op de troon, langer dan enig andere vorst in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. En dat was tussen 1760 en 1820 in decennia van ongekende omwentelingen in elk aspect van leven, denken en politiek. Tijdgenoot van Goethe, Napoleon, Washington, Catharina de Grote, Adam Smith, Thomas Paine, Edmund Burke en de Humboldt broers. Zijn impact op de Britse politiek en samenleving was groot. Als mens was hij beminnelijk, kwetsbaar en verrassend. Zijn muzikaliteit zorgde er voor dat Händel de nationale componist der Britten werd. En zelfs dat had een verfijnd politiek tintje.

In this episode, Fr John Bender and Fr John Pietropaoli discuss Brideshead Revisited, a novel set in the time period prior to WWll. The fathers take you through the twists and turns of the plot teasing out the lessons of divine grace and redemption from the varied characters who make choices that bring pain and separation in their lives despite the fact they are Catholic. To find this show and many others check out the Catholic Perspective on www.RCSpirituality.org.

Nancy and Sarah continue their conversation with the award-winning actress Diana Quick about her career beyond Brideshead Revisited, in which she went from playing alluring women, to women with nervous breakdowns to bonking grannies. She talks about her favourite roles, the importance of children to art, and why the most interesting parts are often monsters. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This lecture was given on April 27th, 2023 at Georgetown University. For more information on upcoming events, please visit our website: thomisticinstitute.org/upcoming-events Speaker Bio: Patrick Callahan is director of the Newman Institute for Catholic Thought & Culture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as well as Assistant Professor of English & Humanities at St. Gregory the Great Seminary. He did his undergraduate work at the University of Dallas and his graduate work at Fordham University in Classical Philology. While his doctoral work focused on ancient Greek commentaries to the lyric poet Pindar, his recent work focuses on early Jesuit Latin texts.

Nancy and Sarah quiz Diana Quick about her career, which began when she was a student and is still going strong. She has paved the way for so many women, but her most famous role remains that of Julia Flyte in Granada's legendary television version of Brideshead Revisited. That's where our conversation begins. It goes on to take in life as an actress in the 1960s, singing a weekly song on TV, starring in Ridley Scott's first film, why Albert Finney had the right attitude to work - and what it was like being called the most beautiful woman in the world. Part Two next week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What do you get when you cross Journey's End with Brideshead Revisited? This month Angus, Chris and Jessica review Alice Winn's best-selling new novel, In Memoriam. The book follows  Henry Gaunt and Sidney Ellwood from public school and through the war. Half-German, Gaunt's mother asks him to enlist in the British army to protect the family from anti-German attacks. He signs up immediately, relieved to escape his overwhelming feelings. But Ellwood and their classmates soon follow him into the horrors of trenches. Though Ellwood and Gaunt find fleeting moments of solace in one another, their friends are dying in front of them, and at any moment they could be next. Along the way we discuss class, conscription and the difficulties of describing the boredom and violence of war in popular fiction. References1917 (2019) A.J.

Pepijn mocht de podcast opnemen met publiek in Theater Bellevue in Amsterdam. Op een snikhete middag betrad hij samen met Carice van Houten en Jurrian van Dongen het podium om te praten over waar in deze tijd van crises nog de mooie dingen te vinden zijn. Actrice Carice en liedtekstschrijver Jurrian helpen Pepijn met wat hij moet doen als hij woedend zijn gore straat aan het vegen is. Verder hebben ze het over de arrestatie van Carice, de taakjes in het leven van Jurrian en natuurlijk zingt Pepijn een mopje, namelijk de nummers Waar De Rest Begon en Zullen Wij Maar.

In his keynote talk at the 2022 Good News Conference, Bishop Barron speaks on the evangelical power of beauty in the Catholic tradition. True beauty leads by steady steps to the ultimate source of beauty, Christ. To evangelize, we can show the Sistine Chapel or Chartres Cathedral; show someone how to read Brideshead Revisited, the stories of Flannery O'Connor, or the poetry of T.S. Eliot; listen to Beethoven's “Seventh Symphony.” This great tradition of beauty has the power to draw people in.

Evelyn Waugh's seventh and certainly most famous novel is, as a reading experience, more like a baroque building than a book. One does not so much read “Brideshead Revisited” as enter it. We wander its dynastic halls and marvel at its dynamic details, but most of all we seek out its inhabitants, that eclectic cast of characters. And yet, perhaps what is most enduring about “Brideshead” is that it pays revisiting; like its great themes, each reading renovates our memory and reveals the underlying truth that change “is the only evidence of life.” Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include: “Brideshead Revisited” by Evelyn Waugh “Play is as it Lays” by Joan Didion “Ghana Must Go” by Taiye Selasi Additional segments throughout the podcast include: Inner Shelf Fact or fiction What are you reading?

‘But my dear Sebastian, you can't seriously believe it all' ‘Can't I?' ‘I mean about Christmas and the star and the three kings and the ox and the ass.' ‘Oh yes, I believe that. It's a lovely idea.' ‘But you can't believe things because they're a lovely idea.' ‘But I do. That's how I believe.' Brideshead Revisited   Risking Enchantment returns for its autumn/winter season. As promised our first episode back is about Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh. We discuss the novel in terms of its theme of the idolization of beauty, and look at how beauty both pulls characters away from God and draws them close to Him. We compare Sebastian's childlike and childish approach to beauty and life, with Charles' devotion but ultimately superficial love of beauty and art. At the heart of the discussion is Waugh's self-proclaimed theme of the operation of divine grace, and how beauty provides an opportunity for this grace to be received.   Music: Ashton Manor by Kevin MacLeod Hosts: Rachel Sherlock, Phoebe Watson Follow me on social media: @seekingwatson Follow the podcast on Instagram: @riskingenchantmentpodcast Find out more at www.rachelsherlock.com Sign up for our email list at www.rachelsherlock.com/podcast   Worked Referenced Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh Brideshead Revisited (TV mini series, 1981) Scoop by Evelyn Waugh “A Twitch upon the Thread: Grace in Brideshead Revisited” by Annesley Anderson “Brideshead Revisited During Lent” by Patrick Tomassi “The rejection of beauty in Waugh's Brideshead Revisited” by Laura White “From Arcadia to Ascesis: the necessary loss of pleasure in Brideshead Revisited” by Joanna Bratten The Four Quartets by T.S.

Financial Times journalist Simon Kuper's book Chums: How a Tiny Caste of Oxford Tories Took Over the UK argues that in order to understand how power works in the UK, you have to examine Oxford University, where most of its prime ministers are educated. The university has long functioned as the springboard to power for aspiring UK politicians, and Kuper takes us inside this insidious clubhouse, delivering a "searing critique of the British ruling class." Kuper argues that Brexit, far from being a "populist" revolt, would not have been possible without Oxford-educated Tory elites who were in search of a grand political project. Kuper discusses the disturbingly reactionary culture of the Oxford that nurtured Boris Johnson (as well as its low intellectual standards), and explains why—although certain improvements have been made—he believes the university should stop teaching undergrads altogether in order to diversity the pool of backgrounds of those who end up in British politics. The clip at the beginning is taken from the 1981 Granada Television adaptation of Brideshead Revisited, which Kuper says many Oxford students in Thatcher-era Britain watched and consciously tried to emulate. The Guardian's review of Chums is here. Nathan's own article on the life and career of Boris Johnson is here.  

Our Literary Life podcast hosts are back this week, along with Atlee Northmore, to wrap up their discussion of The Enchanted April with some thoughts on the various film adaptations of this enchanting book. After expanding on their commonplace quotes, Angelina, Cindy, Thomas and Atlee start the film talk with the “dreadful” 1935 RKO version. Then they move on to dig in to how Enchanted April was and brought to the big screen in 1991 and why it worked so well as an adaptation of the novel. Our next book will be The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham, starting May 17th, so be sure to join us for that as well! Cindy's 2022 Morning Time for Moms Summer Discipleship group is now open for registration.

Commonplace Quotes: No matter how much experience we may gather in life, we can never in life get the dimension of experience that the imagination gives us. Only the arts and sciences can do that; and of these, only literature gives us the whole sweep and range of human imagination as it sees itself. It seems to be very difficult for many people to understand the reality and intensity of literary experience. Northrop Frye Education is always an individual endeavor. In terms of a future renewal, much of it will depend on a commitment to individualism, something that has been much maligned in recent years. We hear so much trendy, tedious talk about how bad individualism is and how we need to think in terms of “the group.” The problem is that the group usually offers conformity, not genuine community. Morris Berman And yet, we are still being taught that fairy tales and myths are to be discarded as soon as we are old enough to understand “reality.” I received a disturbed and angry letter from a young mother who told me that a friend of hers with young children gave them only instructive books. She wasn't going to allow their minds to be polluted with fairy tales. They were going to be taught the “real world.” This attitude is a victory for the powers of this world. A friend of mine, a fine storyteller, remarked to me, “Jesus was not a theologian. He was a God Who told stories.” Yes, God Who told stories. Madeleine L'Engle The general fate of sects is to obtain a high reputation for sanctity while they are oppressed, and to lose it as soon as they become powerful.

XV. For fans of the great period television and film dramas Downton Abbey and Brideshead Revisited (among many others), one of the great pleasures is seeing the grand, sumptuous, imposing interiors of some of England's greatest homes used as stage sets in the drama.  This week's episode features Nick Dawes, master specialist and appraiser seen regularly on "Antiques Roadshow" who shares some insight into the decorative arts collections of some of these fictitious as well as some very real families.  Visit the Gilded Gentleman website for more information.
