A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout.[1][2] It is considered to be Milton's masterpiece, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of all time.[3] The poem concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. ~~~~~~~ I just rebroadcast publicly available content.

Edith Wharton's Age of Innocence is a perfect novel to read in the spring — maybe its all the flowers — so I finally picked it up to re-read, in part due to this excellent episode from the Gilded Gentleman which we are presenting to you this week. The Age of Innocence is Edith Wharton's most famous novel, an enduring classic of Old New York that has been rediscovered by a new generation. What is it about this story of Newland Archer, May Welland and Countess Olenska that readers respond to today?Noted Wharton scholar Dr. Emily Orlando joins Carl Raymond on The Gilded Gentleman podcast to delve into the background of this novel, take a deep dive into the personalities of the major characters and discuss what Wharton wanted to say in her masterpiece. Edith Wharton published The Age of Innocence at a very important moment in her life. When the novel came out in 1920, she had been living in France full-time for nearly 10 years and had seen the devastating effects of World War I up close. Her response was to look back with a sense of nostalgia to the time of her childhood to recreate that staid, restrictive world of New York in the 1870s. A world that, despite its elite social cruelty, seemed to have some kind of moral center (at least to her).
When does a book transcend from contemporary literature to a classic? Does someone have to confirm its classic status? And can all Booker Prize novels be considered classics just by being part of the Booker canon? This, and more, is what Jo and James are trying to get to the heart of in this week's episode. Listen in as they discuss what makes a classic novel and chat about which Booker books should be known as classics. In this episode Jo and James: Consider what makes a classic Each pick three novels from the Booker Library that are – or should be – considered classics Discuss the plots of their chosen novels and why they are deserving of classic status Reading list: Something to Answer For by P.H.

On May 7, 1943, as World War II raged across the globe, Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead was published in America. Due to sparse reviews and minimal publicity, sales were initially low. Then an unusual thing happened, paralleling Rand's description of the gradual success of the novel's hero, Howard Roark: “It was as if an underground stream flowed through the country and broke out in sudden springs that shot to the surface at random, in unpredictable places.” As word-of-mouth readership spread, Rand's novel began appearing on best-seller lists more than a year after publication. By May 1945 it was #1 on the Los Angeles Times local best-seller list, and by August it reached #6 on the New York Times national best-seller list, remaining on that list (with few interruptions) until March 1946. In this episode, we read aloud Tom Bowden's article, “The Illustrated Fountainhead: Serializing a Classic Novel.” In that essay, he describes how Ayn Rand welcomed a newspaper syndicate's offer to popularize her best-selling novel in illustrated form. Bowden's article was originally published in New Ideal on October 12, 2022. Podcast audio:
We listen back to the Talk of Iowa book club conversation about Octavia Butler's Kindred, which is set to debut as a miniseries this month.
This episode features the Classic Novel of South Africa, The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay. We both loved this book so we spend a lot of time gushing about our protagonist Peekay and the incredible people he meets along his journey to adulthood. We encourage you to stay throughout spoilers which are between the 1:17 and 2:27 minute marks. We also discuss some of our unconventional friendships similar to Peekay and Doc's and finish with our usual segments. Enjoy!
We're back, Old Soul family! And we are covering an audience recommendation of a classic novel adaptation: David Copperfield! One of Charles Dickens's own favorite characters, the story of young David is a coming-of-age tale with lovable (and hate-able) characters that influence his life in becoming an aspiring author. This movie came to be out of producer David O. Selznick's love and devotion to his own father...and much to the opposition of his father-in-law (who was head of the studio)! We loved giving our first impressions on a story that has been on many people's bookshelves for over a century!Please Comment, Rate, and Share our episodes and tell us what you like and what you want to hear more of!— Be sure to check us out onOur website: https://the-old-soul-movie-podcast.simplecast.com/FacebookTwitter: @oldsoulpodInstagram: @oldsoulmoviepodcast
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dinitia Smith is the author of four previous novels, most recently The Honeymoon (Other Press), and her short stories have been published in numerous magazines. For 11 years, she was a reporter at the New YorkTimes where she wrote on literary topics and intellectual trends. She has won many awards for her writing, including fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ingram Merrill Foundation, the MacDowell Colony and the Bread Loaf Writers Conference. She is also an Emmy Award-winning film maker. Her film, Passing Quietly Through, was chosen for the New York Film Festival, and shown at the Whitney Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. ABOUT THE BOOK - THE PRINCE Money. Power. Sex. Family. These conflicts propel the world's greatest novels. They seared the pages of The Golden Bowl by Henry James when it was published in 1904, and they inflame Dinitia Smith's retelling, THE PRINCE creating a modern classic with twists and turns that even James couldn't imagine. Smith, a multiple award-winning former New York Times reporter, uses the modern equivalent of the glittering high society setting of the Golden Age to tell the story of a father and daughter and the prince who comes between them. Set partially on Woodford Island, based on Gardiners Island off the coast of East Hampton, THE PRINCE reconstructs the claustrophobic tension of the original while exploring the four central relationships with a fresh, modern gaze.

Book: The Time Machine by H G Wells Film: The Time Machine (1960) Published in 1895, the science fiction novella would popularize time travel using a device or a contraption. The story shares Wells socialist political views, his views on life and abundance and contemporary angst against industrial relations. The 1960’s George Pal MGM film, starring Rod Taylor, Yvette Mimieux and Alan Young would use stop motion animation to help flourish the story. The film was a box office success. Pal wanted to film in London but to budgetary reasons had to settle for Culver City in California. Interesting fact, George Pal was going to film a sequel but unfortunately, he died before production.

George Orwell is often quoted and references to 1984 have been showing up everywhere on social media in recent months. Could we really be headed to 1984? In this episode I give my take on the situation and why I think George Orwell may have missed some key indicators that lead to authoritarian/totalitarian regimes. The Western world may be on the brink as never before, but I am not convinced it will be as Orwell feared so many years ago. I believe Modern Economic Theory will play a key role in Government control, this episode outlays my viewpoints and argument. https://www.investopedia.com/modern-monetary-theory-mmt-4588060

Did You Know?: The concept of Frankenstein was conceived in 1817 when Mary and her husband spent the summer with Lord Byron. Good Boy is an entry of the Into The Dark series under the Blumhouse banner and exclusive to Hulu. Staring Judy Greer, good boy is about a supernatural emotional support dog named Reuben who kills those who give his owner Maggie (Played by Greer) too much anxiety. This dark comedy is carried by Greer, whose performance is both funny and a departure from what she is normally seen in. Jeff carries us through the plot of the movie & points out the dark comedy that makes this movie an entertaining afternoon watch. Fun Fact: Chico The Dog, who plays Reuben, is a Dachshund-Terrier mix. Tune in to hear Jeff and Heather's candid thoughts on the masterpiece scenes of each monster movie, how Frankensteinand Good Boy compare, and how Jeff and Heather relate to aspects of each.

George Eliot's famous classic novel Middlemarch has been republished under the author's real name. The author Mary Ann Evans used a male pseudonym to sell more books. Her book Middlemarch, which received several accolades, was originally published in eight installments from 1871 to 1872. The novel narrated what provincial life looked like in the fictitious town of Middlemarch. The story featured characters from different walks of life and focused on the struggles of the main character Dorothea with her marriage. Under the pseudonym George Eliot, Evans also authored Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, and Silas Marner. Middlemarch is only one of 25 titles by female authors re-released under their writers' real names. The practice of using male pseudonyms was common among 19th-century female authors. Other authors who did the same include Violet Paget, whose pen name was Vernon Lee, Charlotte Brontë, who originally published Jane Eyre as Currer Bell, and her sister Emily, who wrote Wuthering Heights under the name Ellis Bell. The re-publication of the classic novels is part of the Reclaim Her Name campaign, which marks the 25th anniversary of the Women's Prize for Fiction. Novelist Kate Mosse launched the Women's Prize in 1996 to recognize female writers. E-books of titles under the Reclaim Her Name collection can be downloaded for free. In addition, physical copies of the books with cover art by female designers have been donated to the British Library. According to the organization behind the project, the Reclaim Her Name initiative was started to make women writers more visible, give them the credit that they deserve, and encourage conversations about the challenges they have faced in the literary field.

HE LEARNED THERE'S NO APPEAL FROM VIGILANTE LAW! Mat Karney knew the score in Toltec Valley. A man needed enough land and water for his cattle or he was through. When Mat's neighbor, Big Tom Parks, began sneaking in nesters, a showdown was inevitable. Especially when Parks had the Law in his vest pocket. But Mat never figured that the blow-off would have the savage ferocity of a maddened herd on a rampage. Nor did he expect to find himself hunted by hardcases and deputies alike. Then there were two prairie women; one loved him, one hated him. Both had reason to want him dead. This is a thundering novel of the authentic West that will grip you―it ranks with the best. In it you will meet: Mat Karney: He knew that the only language men understood in Toltec Valley was gun talk. Big Tom Parks: He was adept at getting around the law because he'd paid to drill its loopholes. Sally Flandreu: When her Pa passed, she took on a man's job raising her family and running the homestead — even though she knew hot lead might be the payoff. Tex Smith: This deputy was Tom Park's top gunhand, tied to his boss by unseen ropes. Juanita Evans: This south-of-the-border fireball could give any man a burn; but her heart burned for Mat — whether he wanted it or not. Jerry Hackett: He had a special talent for gun-play — especially from the back. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Podcast for Classic Novel
Meet the main characters of the book in episode 2.
The Search Is on for a New Director at Portland’s Regional Arts and Culture CouncilDuring outgoing director Eloise Damrosch’s 30-year tenure, the Regional Arts and Culture Council has grown from a small Multnomah County bureau to a flourishing tri-county arts council. In the first of several stories, we look at the search for her replacement to oversee the $9 million arts office. It could be one of the most important hires for decades to come.Kent Nerburn’s Classic Novel, “Neither Wolf Nor Dog,” Hits the Big Screen and the U.K. - 6:36A notable writer has quietly relocated to Portland from Minnesota. Kent Nerburn has written and edited more than a dozen award-winning books and has been praised as one of the few authors who can respectfully bridge the gap between Native American and non-Native cultures. His 1994 book, “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” — about his travels with a Lakota elder — has become a cult classic, and now it’s been made into a movie that’s currently screening in Corvallis and opening in Portland Aug. 11 at Cinema 21, with dates still to come in Bend, Ashland, Salem, Pendleton, Klamath Falls and Sisters. (You can find confirmed theaters on the film's Facebook page.) It also recently made a splash in the U.K. due to an unlikely fan: musician Robert Plant.Suspended Moment: Two Artists Explore a Devastating Act of War - 21:25A Portland visual artist and a choreographer have come together for a performance work that bears witness to the nuclear annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the lingering, complex Japanese and American narratives that have evolved since. Yukiyo Kawano is a Japanese visual artist living in Portland who grew up in Hiroshima, and choreographer and dancer Meshi Chavez is from Albuquerque. They’ve performed their collaboration, "Suspended Moment," in places with strong ties to atomic history, like Los Alamos, New Mexico, and the Hanford Site, and are now bringing it to Portland on Aug. 9, the 72nd anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki, as part of an event organized by Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility: Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki - from Despair to Hope.Portland State Chamber Choir Releases the First U.S. Album of Songs by Latvian Composer Eriks Esenwalds - 28:31The Portland State University Chamber Choir sings way above its weight class, regularly challenging professional choirs to top laurels at international competitions, and a lot of the credit goes to PSU’s dynamic choral director, Ethan Sperry. Sperry has formed creative partnerships with collaborators from around the globe, including one of Europe’s hottest young Mozarts, Eriks Esenwald.The Portland State Chamber Choir has premiered a number of Esenwald’s works over the years, and this week it is releasing the first U.S. album of his music, “The Doors of Heaven.”To Open or Not to Open? With Eclipse Tourists on the Way, Businesses in Grant County Have to Decide - 37:15Counties and towns in the path of the coming eclipse are all wrestling with two huge questions: Just how many people are going to show up for this massive celestial event, and how do we prepare for them? After all, travel officials are estimating 1 million people are headed to Oregon alone.Grant County is in the odd position of having experienced big influxes of people a couple of times, from large firefighting teams to the annual Rainbow Gathering earlier this summer. We checked in with business owners to hear what they’ve learned about staying open for the extra patrons — or not.Remembering Oregon Poet Laureate Peter Sears - 42:36Poet and teacher Peter Sears died July 20. Sears came to Oregon in 1974 and was active in the state’s literary community for more than 40 years, serving as Oregon’s seventh Poet Laureate from 2014 to 2016. One of his goals as Poet Laureate was to broaden the base of the “global linguistic community” — instead of reading by himself as he traveled the state, he sought out people creating works in their native languages to share the stage and read with him. Elizabeth Rusch’s New Piano-Themed Children’s Book: "The Music of Life" - 47:01Once upon a time, a few hundred years ago, there were two kinds of keyboards: soft ones and loud ones. If you wanted to play loudly and softly on the same instrument, you were out of luck. Then one man in 17th century Florence changed that. Portland author Elizabeth Rusch tells his story in her new children’s book, “The Music of Life.” She and pianist collaborator David Saffert joined OPB’s Dave Miller to talk about the book and to illustrate what makes a piano so special.
What does it mean to be a martyr? What does it mean to be an apostate? How should we understand people who choose one or the other? These are the questions asked by Shusaku Endo in his novel Silence, in which he tells the story of Japanese Catholics and foreign missionaries during Japan's “Christian Century” (1549-1650). Despite being published nearly fifty years ago, this novel continues to receive attention and spark debate. Dr. Mark Dennis and Dr. Darren Middleton, both of Texas Christian University, continue the discussion in their edited volume Approaching Silence: New Perspectives on Shusaku Endo's Classic Novel, published by Bloomsbury. Through a collection of thought-provoking essays, this anthology deals with these, and related questions, from multiple perspectives, leading to a rich discussion. This anthology also includes an afterword by Martin Scorsese on his film adaption of Silence. I hope you will enjoy the interview. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
