L'excentricité : une signature britannique ? Nous sommes en 1933. Paul Morand, écrivain et diplomate, qui sera épinglé plus tard pour sa proximité avec le régime de Vichy, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, publie une sorte de récit de voyage consacré à On peut y lire : « A leur amour de l'excentricité seul, on peut déjà juger que les Anglais sont un grand peuple. Tout l'univers, écrasé par le « comme-il-faut », le « déjà-vu », les impératifs publicitaires de la radio, aplati sous les modes absurdes qu'invente le haut commerce, accepte mollement des idées, des vêtements ou des opinions politiques toutes faites, mais à Londres, l'air semble plus léger lorsqu'on a la chance de rencontrer, dans les rues de Saint James, un de ces personnages, hélas de plus en plus rares, que Thackeray nomme « un caractère ». Tel Lord Petersham, qui coupait lui-même ses vêtements et fabriquait son cirage, goûts simples qui ne l'empêchaient pas toutefois d'avoir trois cent soixante-cinq tabatières, une par jour de l'année. Ou Lord Egerto, chez qui la table était toujours mise à douze couverts pour ses douze chiens, lesquels d'ailleurs portaient des bottes (…). La même année, Edith Sitwell, poétesse, essayiste, née dans le, fait de ses considérations sur ces « English Eccentrics », elle écrit : « L'excentricité est un fait particulier aux Anglais, tout spécialement selon moi parce qu'ils sont convaincus de leur propre infaillibilité, emblème et patrimoine de la nation britannique ». Au XXe siècle, l'excentricité des élites britanniques dépasse largement les mondanités, elle est un nouveau souffle. Comment s'exprime-t-elle ? Pénétrons dans un monde qui nous paraît « so bizarre » … Invité : Thierry Coudert « Anglais excentriques » aux éditions Tallandier. Sujets traités : excentricité, britannique, Paul Morand, Londres, Tel Lord Petersham, Lord Egerto, Edith Sitwell, Yorkshire, mondanités Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be : https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Et si vous avez apprécié ce podcast, n'hésitez pas à nous donner des étoiles ou des commentaires, cela nous aide à le faire connaître plus largement.

How do you create a biopic of one of the most famous First World War poets?   This month we're joined by Dr Jane Potter (Oxford Brookes) to discuss the 2021 film Benediction about the life of Siegfried Sassoon.   Along the way we explore the long shadow of Regeneration, soldiers in drag, and the brilliance of Edith Sitwell. We also get very excited by a surprise cameo from the star of a previous episode!   References: Alice Winn, In Memoriam (2023) Benediction' is a shattering biopic of the English war poet Siegfried Sassoon, LA Times  Benediction review – Terence Davies' piercingly sad Siegfried Sassoon drama, The Guardian Brian Bond, The Unquiet Western Front (2008) Edith Sitwell, Wheels (1919) Jane Potter, Selected Letters of Wilfred Owen (2023) Regeneration, dir by Gillies MacKinnon (1997) Siegfried Sasson, The Complete Memoirs of George They Shall Not Grow Old, dir by Peter Jackson (2018)

As the CBSO prepares for a summer of tours to Aldeburgh, Japan, and the BBC Proms, the orchestra's new Chief Conductor Kazuki Yamada speaks to presenter Tom Service about the joy of music and the goosebumps he experiences while conducting. Tom travels to the South Downs to speak to Australian director Barrie Kosky about a new production, opening this weekend at Glyndebourne, of Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites. He's joined by sopranos Golda Schultz and Sally Matthews, as well as conductor Robin Ticciati, to talk about the story of sixteen nuns who meet their death at the hands of the French Revolution. Amid rehearsals at the Royal Opera House, Music Matters hears about the World Premiere of a new ballet, Untitled 2023 – a collaboration between the Royal Ballet's resident choreographer Wayne McGregor and composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir. They discuss the somatic relationship between body, dance and music, and why listening to Thorvaldsdottir's compositions is not a passive experience. And one hundred years after its premiere at the Aeolian Hall in June 1923, Tom speaks to the writer and broadcaster William Sitwell about his great-aunt Edith Sitwell's creative relationship with the composer William Walton – a collaboration which resulted in the entertainment, Façade. He's also joined by writer and researcher Lucy Walker. Together they discuss the work's nonsensical parody of popular music, jazz, and poetry and knotty issues it presents to contemporary audiences.

Inner city life in Chicago's Bronzeville and the experiences of ordinary people inspired the first poetry collection published by Gwendolyn Brooks in 1945 and she followed this with a sequence of poems Annie Allen and a novella Maud Martha depicting Black women entering adulthood.

Producer: Robyn Read Poets in Vogue curated by Sophie Oliver, Sarah Parker and Gesa Werner runs Feb 17th to June 25th 2023. It includes a skirt that belonged to Sylvia Plath, a reconstruction of Anne Sexton's red ‘reading dress', creative interpretations of Audre Lorde's, Edith Sitwell's and Stevie Smith's signature looks, a fabric-adaptation of a poem by Gwendolyn Brooks and the clothes-performances of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha.

Isabel Allende was born in Peru in 1942 and raised in Chile. Most famous for her novel The House of the Spirits, her works have been both bestsellers and critically acclaimed, translated into more than forty-two languages and selling more than seventy-five million copies worldwide. Her latest book, Violeta, is a fictional account of one woman's life through an extraordinary century of history. Isabel talks about her life, her special relationship with her mother and her pursuit of equality. Freya McClements reports from Derry/Londonderry where The White Handkerchief, a play marking the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, is about to open. Freya speaks to members of the production team and hears about plans for a public memorial to commemorate the dead and injured this coming Sunday. A new recording by Roderick Williams and Tamsin Dalley of Facade, an “entertainment” by Edith Sitwell and William Walton, has been released 100 years after its first performance. Dame Edith's great nephew William Sitwell and Professor Faye Hammill discuss the story behind the piece, its impact and the part it has played in the movement of Modernism.

Heart And Mind By Edith Sitwell

We are nearing the first day of winter, a season that's fairly polarizing.  What is the purpose of winter, what can we learn from nature?  If you practice yoga, what is the purpose of savasana?  How do we feel about rest and restoration, not for others and not sometimes; but for ourselves, regularly.  Join me as we discuss the purpose of rest and surrender in our lives, do we really understand it?   “He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities.”   Benjamin Franklin    “Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is time for home.”   Edith Sitwell   “The light of winter is the poetry of patience.” ~unknown   “Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.” Paul Theroux    “Sometimes nature appears in whites so we can color it with our dreams.” ~Angela Rexario   “If I lay here, if I just lay here.  Will you lie with me and just forget the world?” ~Snow Patrol    “Surrendering doesn’t mean you’re weak.  Surrendering means you are wise for accepting what is and strong enough to trust what will be. “ ~Wattney @Wattneypoetry on IG https://www.amazon.com/Black-Sheep-Wattney-Lander/dp/1687569908/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=wattney&qid=1608214624&sr=8-1   “Savasana is the absence of all patterns - neurological, emotional and physical.  It is the ultimate release of the known and unknown world, where awareness is all that is left, without the illusion of the separation of the seer.  The world as a whole appears without the subject of ‘I’” ~Rodney Yee   “Your definition of desirable and undesirable as well as good and bad, all come about because you have defined how things need to be in order for you to be okay. The part of you inside that’s not okay with itself can’t face the natural unfolding of life because it’s not under your control. Decide not to fight with life.  Realize and accept life is not under my control.  Life is continually changing and if I try to control it, I’ll never be able to fully live it.” “The Untethered Soul” by Michael A Singer.

We delve into the Greek myth of Eurydice reinterpreted by the great English poet Edith Sitwell. From the male perspective through the ages to the feminine voice that asserts her own experience of death and the underworld into wisdom.

Dr. Susan Kavaler-Adler a psychoanalyst and clinical psychologist in private practice and founder of The Object Relations Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis where she is a training analyst, is a prolific writer and thinker celebrated for integrationist approach to Object Relations thinking. The Compulsion to Create: Women Writers and their Demon Lovers, originally published by Routledge in 1993 and recently re-published by ORI Academic Press in 2013, is Dr. Kavaler-Adler’s first of five published book a labor of her love for the creative process which earned her an honorary Doctorate of Literature from Ignatius University. Dr. Kavaler-Adler calls into question the myth that one must be crazy to be creative and raises concern about the implication that therapeutic intervention is a deterrent to creative growth. For Dr. Kavaler-Adler, the therapeutic process is an inherently creative process. Like the artists encounter with her work, the subject’s encounter with the couch involves an engagement with the unconscious. A comprehensive analysis of Object Relations theory organizes this study around the the Demon Lover theme which appears in both literature and psychoanalysis. Dr. Kavaler-Adler’s own definition emerges from her theory that mourning is an important developmental process, one which, when stunted due to pre-oedipal arrest, leads to what she calls The Compulsion to Create a state of psychological and creative compulsion which hinders psychic and creative growth. Dr. Kavaler-Adler’s The Compulsion to Create is a psycho-biographical examination of esteemed women writers, among them, Anais Nin, Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickinson, Edith Sitwell, and most comprehensively, the famed Bronte sisters. Dr. Kavaler-Adler’s unique psycho-biographical approach considers not just the relationship between one work and another, but also the relationships between the biographical context which each work proceeds from as it is created, as well as the biographical context it intervenes in when published. In this way, Dr. Kavaler-Adler explicitly connects the manifestation of the writers object relations in her life as well as in her art. Her exquisitely researched book clearly insights the meaningful and inherent engagement between the woman writers life and art at the level of the unconscious. She poetically explains an author’s work is a reflection of the authors internal world just as dreams are. Above all, Dr. Kavaler-Adler encourages a positive engagement between the creative and therapeutic process, arguing that profound creative developments can proceed from effective therapeutic interventions which revive the subject from a state of psychic arrest and the creative collapse which results from it. Dr. Susan Kavaler’s list of publications including her most comprehensive contribution to Object Relations thinking The Klein-Winnicot Dialectic (Karnac 2014) can be found on her website where opportunities to study the Object Relations approach from a clinical standpoint and seek treatment in individual and group settings can also be found, including a group for writers which has been held monthly for 21 years. She has previously been interviewed on New Books in Psychoanalysis by Claire-Madeline Culkin about her later publication The Anatomy of Regret (Karnac 2013). Claire-Madeline Culkin is an analytically minded author. She is currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at Sarah Lawrence College and holds a BA in Psychology from Eugene Lang College, The New School for Liberal Arts.

Dr. Kavaler-Adler’s The Compulsion to Create is a psycho-biographical examination of esteemed women writers, among them, Anais Nin, Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickinson, Edith Sitwell, and most comprehensively, the famed Bronte sisters. Dr. Kavaler-Adler’s unique psycho-biographical approach considers not just the relationship between one work and another, but also the relationships between the biographical context which each work proceeds from as it is created, as well as the biographical context it intervenes in when published. In this way, Dr. Kavaler-Adler explicitly connects the manifestation of the writers object relations in her life as well as in her art. Her exquisitely researched book clearly insights the meaningful and inherent engagement between the woman writers life and art at the level of the unconscious. She poetically explains an author’s work is a reflection of the authors internal world just as dreams are. Above all, Dr. Kavaler-Adler encourages a positive engagement between the creative and therapeutic process, arguing that profound creative developments can proceed from effective therapeutic interventions which revive the subject from a state of psychic arrest and the creative collapse which results from it. Dr. Susan Kavaler’s list of publications including her most comprehensive contribution to Object Relations thinking The Klein-Winnicot Dialectic (Karnac 2014) can be found on her website where opportunities to study the Object Relations approach from a clinical standpoint and seek treatment in individual and group settings can also be found, including a group for writers which has been held monthly for 21 years. She has previously been interviewed on New Books in Psychoanalysis by Claire-Madeline Culkin about her later publication The Anatomy of Regret (Karnac 2013). Claire-Madeline Culkin is an analytically minded author. She is currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at Sarah Lawrence College and holds a BA in Psychology from Eugene Lang College, The New School for Liberal Arts.

Dr. Susan Kavaler-Adler a psychoanalyst and clinical psychologist in private practice and founder of The Object Relations Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis where she is a training analyst, is a prolific writer and thinker celebrated for integrationist approach to Object Relations thinking. The Compulsion to Create: Women Writers and their Demon Lovers, originally published by Routledge in 1993 and recently re-published by ORI Academic Press in 2013, is Dr. Kavaler-Adler’s first of five published book a labor of her love for the creative process which earned her an honorary Doctorate of Literature from Ignatius University. Dr. Kavaler-Adler calls into question the myth that one must be crazy to be creative and raises concern about the implication that therapeutic intervention is a deterrent to creative growth. For Dr. Kavaler-Adler, the therapeutic process is an inherently creative process. Like the artists encounter with her work, the subject’s encounter with the couch involves an engagement with the unconscious.

In 18th-century England, wealthy landowners would sometimes hire people to live as hermits in secluded corners of their estates. In today's show we'll explore this odd custom and review the job requirements for life as a poetic recluse. We'll also meet a German novelist who popularized an American West he had never seen and puzzle over some very generous bank robbers. Sources for our feature on ornamental hermits: Gordon Campbell, The Hermit in the Garden, 2013. Alice Gregory, "Garden Hermit Needed. Apply Within," Boston Globe, May 19, 2013.

Edith Sitwell (1887-1964) var en kvinna som inte gick spårlöst förbi, varken som poet eller person. Kanske allra mest det senare. Hennes egna och excentriska stil väckte förundran, och beundran. I år är det femtio år sedan Edith Sitwell avled, men hon fortsätter att fascinera och inspirera både modeskapare och musiker. Hej Morrissey. Någon så kallad kvinnlig blygsamhet led hon inte av. När hon som liten flicka fick frågan om vad hon skulle bli som stor, svarade hon självklart: Ett geni. Mer om Edith Sitwell hör ni i veckans STIL. I dag har man även börjat omvärdera Edith Sitwell arbete som poet, något som under hennes senare livstid skymdes av hennes färgstarka personlighet. Men helt oälskad och oförstådd var hon sannerligen inte. 1954 utsågs hon till ”Dame of the British Empire”, den högsta orden man kan få som kvinna i Storbritannien. Men kanske ligger hon idag än mer rätt i tiden. Hon ansåg att mycket av en dikts mening ligger i ljudet den skapar och började redan 1922 läsa sina dikter till musik på scen. Att kalla Edith Sitwell för den första vita kvinnliga rapparen är kanske att ta i, men helt fel är det inte heller.   I veckans program har vi träffat en svensk färgstark kvinna som, likt Edith Sitwell, är dramatisk och ”liteförmycketavallt” – Ann-Sofie Francisca Lundin som uppträder under namnet Min Stora Sorg. Vi har även fått en pratstund med The Space Lady, som besökte Stockholm för ett par veckor sedan. Det är artistnamnet på Susan Dietrich Schneider, en kvinna som har befunnit sig ute i samhällets periferi under större delen av sitt liv. Utrustad med en liten synth och med en vingprydd hjälm på huvudet har hon under många år försörjt både sig själv och sin familj som gatumusikant i San Francisco och Boston. Genom sin musik och sina gatuframträdanden har The Space Lady med tiden blivit en slags kultfigur, hennes heminspelade låtar har nyligen getts ut på nytt och nu, vid 66 års ålder, har The Space Lady bytt ut gatan mot scenen. Vi tar även en titt på den senaste modeaccessoaren – katten. Som Edith Sitwell hade flera stycken av. Modeskaparen Karl Lagerfeld har inte bara gjort sin vita fluffiga katt Choupette till en stjärna genom att göra henne till omslagskisse på tyska Vogue. Han har skaffat henne konto på både instagram och twitter, gjort henne föremål för boken Choupette: The Private Life of a High-Flying Fashion Cat (i vilken hon ger moderiktiga tips om allt från kosthållning till klädstil). I november lanseras dessutom en kollektion med accessoarer – The Choupette Capsule Collection”. Katten har helt klart slagit ut chihuahuan som den mest moderiktiga accessoaren, och inget framkallar sådana känslor av ”awwwwwww”, som youtubeklipp på just katter. Varför? Det har vi kollat upp. Veckans gäst är Johan Hakelius, författare till flera böcker om brittiska excentriker.

En 1919, un jeune compositeur français du nom de Darius Milhaud, qui n’est alors qu’un tout jeune homme de 23 ans, compose Cinéma-fantaisie, ébauche de ce qui va devenir le célèbre Boeuf sur le toit, créé à Paris le 21 février 1920. Il s’agit à l’origine d’une pièce pour violon et piano destinée à accompagner un film muet de Charlie Chaplin. Membre, avec notamment Georges Auric et Francis Poulenc, du tout nouveau Groupe des Six, dont le mentor est le poète et dandy Jean Cocteau, Milhaud a été marqué par l’influence de son aîné Erik Satie (1866-1925), dont il va pour ainsi dire poursuivre l’esprit surréaliste. Au même moment, de l’autre côté de la Manche, William Walton, « l’enfant terrible de la musique anglaise », signe Façade sur des poèmes d’Edith Sitwell, qui, au début des années 1920, joue à Londres un rôle analogue à celui de Cocteau à Paris. L’univers déjanté des enfants terribles de la musique française et anglaise rencontre celui des surréalistes avant la lettre. Guy Marchand, musicologue, et Guylaine Massoutre, professeure, auteure et critique littéraire, s’entretiennent avec l’animateur Stéphane Lépine

Richard Greene's Boxing the Compass recently won the Governor General's Award for English Poetry.  Here's how the jury saw it: "Richard Greene's Boxing the Compass leaves us feeling unmoored, adrift across time and voice. The matchless long poem at its heart pulls us back to our always-moving selves, on an always-moving earth. We follow him in his offbeat but strangely familiar travels." Here's my review of the book in the Globe and Mail Originally from St. John's, Newfoundland, now living in Cobourg, Ontario, Richard is not only a poet, he's also a biographer, critic and professor of English at the University of Toronto. He edited Graham Greene: A Life in Letters (2007) and has written a biography of British poet Edith Sitwell.  Boxing the Compass is his third collection of poetry.
