Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 12, 2026 is: fulcrum • FULL-krum • noun In technical use, fulcrum refers to the support on which a lever moves when it is used to lift something. In figurative use, fulcrum refers to a person or thing that makes it possible for something to function or develop, or in other words, one who plays an essential role in something. // Although the lead actor was phenomenal, critics suggested that the supporting cast was the real fulcrum of the show. See the entry > Examples: “The moral fulcrum of Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, in which a scholar gains knowledge and power through a demonic pact, is a relatively straightforward statement on the human condition.” — Eric Olson, Literary Hub, 14 Jan. 2026 Did you know? The Latin word fulcrum, which refers to the head or back support of a couch, comes from the verb fulcīre, which means “to prop, support.” When fulcrum was first used in English in the 17th century, it referred to the point on which a lever or similar device (such as the oar of a boat) is supported. The literal use easily supported figurative use, and it didn't take long for the word to develop a meaning referring to one deemed essential to the function or development of something. Despite fulcrum's multiple senses, the word's meanings have kept a steady theme. In zoology, fulcrum refers to a part of an animal that serves as a hinge or support, such as the joint supporting a bird's wing.

Chris Clements and Sean Noble return for a hard-hitting discussion on the accelerating march of Marxism in America—and why the New York City primary elections should be viewed as a national wake-up call. This wasn't the Democratic establishment at work. This was Zohran Mamdani's coming-out party. Riding a wave of Democratic Socialist activism, Mamdani helped propel three like-minded congressional candidates to victory, demonstrating that the movement is no longer confined to the political fringe. Chris and Sean argue that this is part of a long-term strategy: capture city governments, reshape local institutions, and ultimately transform the country from the ground up. These were not isolated elections. They are a blueprint.  The conversation then shifts to Arizona, where Republican primaries are beginning to take shape. Chris and Sean break down the latest debates in the governor's race and Arizona's First Congressional District while questioning the political logic behind David Schweikert's decision to leave Congress for a gubernatorial race where the electoral math simply doesn't appear to work.  They also examine the latest revelations from former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard concerning COVID-19 and renewed scrutiny surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci—known to longtime Light Beer Dark Money listeners as "Dr. Faustus." With Senator Rand Paul subpoenaing Fauci to testify before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Chris and Sean ask whether years of unanswered questions may finally lead to accountability—or even justice.  Despite the alarming headlines, the episode ends where Light Beer Dark Money always does—with hope. America remains the greatest experiment in self-government ever conceived, built on faith, freedom, and free enterprise. But those principles are under sustained attack. Chris and Sean discuss why so many Americans are being taught to hate their own country, why democratic socialism has become politically fashionable, and what defenders of liberty must do before the window to act closes.  The battle for America's future isn't coming. It's already here.  #FaithFreedomFreeEnterprise #PrattPodcast #Communism #Marxism #DemocraticSocialism #NewYork #ArizonaPolitics #TulsiGabbard #RandPaul #DrFaustus #COVIDOrigins #Politics #Liberty   Subscribe for weekly conversations on Faith, Freedom & Free Enterprise with Sean Noble and Chris Clements.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! Summerween continues with an in-depth discussion of the very first Paranormal Activity. How did this landmark horror movie advance so many subgenres at the same time, from found footage to haunted house and horror romance? How does it weaponize almost every single seemingly innocent element of the setting and performances into becoming part of its creature design? And HOW does a movie that we've been watching and rewatching for almost twenty years still keep us up at night? Comparisons include: The Blair Witch Project, Midsommar, Tolkien's fractal introduction of Shelob, The White Stripes song Ball and Biscuit, and maybe ten seconds of Doctor Faustus.

Musik und Literatur – bei kaum einem Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts fließen beide Kunstformen so eng zusammen wie in den Texten von Thomas Mann. Ob er als Essayist über die Opern von Richard Wagner schreibt, ob er in den Buddenbrooks den kleinen Hanno am Klavier fantasieren lässt oder im Davoser Berg-Sanatorium ein ganzes Kapitel dem Hören von Schallplatten widmet – Musik war für Thomas Mann ein „Lebenselixier“. Kein Wunder also, dass er im fortgeschrittenen Alter mit „Doktor Faustus“ einen ganzen Musiker-Roman geschrieben hat, die fiktive Biografie eines Komponisten. In unserer Reihe „Klassiker der Musik-Literatur“ stellt uns das Buch Christoph Vratz vor – für ihn ist „Doktor Faustus“ einer der Meilensteine der Musik-Literatur.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! In this episode, we argue that Miranda Priestly isn't actually the devil. With the help of the greatest play ever written, Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, we're taking a closer look at The Devil Wears Prada to better understand the movie's classic villain, as well as that strangely hopeful ending.

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Prof. Albert Cheng of the University of Arkansas and Center for Strong Public Schools' Alisha Searcy speak with Stephen Greenblatt, Cogan University Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University and one of the world's foremost scholars of Renaissance literature. Greenblatt discusses his acclaimed book, Dark Renaissance: The Dangerous Times and Fatal Genius of Shakespeare's Greatest Rival, and explores the remarkable life, work, and legacy of Christopher Marlowe. He explains how Marlowe, the son of a cobbler from Canterbury, rose through England's demanding classical education system to become one of the boldest playwrights of the Elizabethan era. Prof. Greenblatt examines the political and cultural climate of Elizabethan England, shaped by censorship, religious conflict, and surveillance, and how those pressures influenced Marlowe's daring artistic voice. Greenblatt also unpacks enduring mysteries surrounding Marlowe's life, including theories that he served as a secret agent for Sir Francis Walsingham, Queen Elizabeth I's spymaster. He also discusses Marlowe's landmark plays Tamburlaine and Doctor Faustus, his celebrated poetry, and the dramatic innovations that transformed English theater. Additionally, he also reflects on Marlowe's rivalry with Shakespeare, mysterious death, and enduring influence on literature today. In closing, Prof. Greenblatt reads a passage from his book, Dark Renaissance: The Dangerous Times and Fatal Genius of Shakespeare's Greatest Rival.

These martyrs gave glorious witness to Christ during the persecutions of Diocletian. St Januarius, Bishop of Benevento in Italy, was arrested and cast into a burning furnace, but he stood in the midst of the flames, singing praises to God, and emerged unharmed. After other cruel tortures, he was bound and cast in prison in Pozzuoli, along with his deacon Faustus and his reader Desiderius. With them in prison were two deacons from Pozzuoli, Proclus and Sossus, and two laymen, Eutychius and Acutius. All seven were cast to wild beasts; but when the animals came near the Saints, they fell affectionately at their feet and refused to harm them. Finally, all seven Christians were beheaded. Some Christians from Naples secretly took the body of Januarius and buried it in their church. Countless wonders have been worked at his grave, including the restoration of a dead man to life.

How far would you go to achieve your deepest dreams? That's the question author Karl Ove Knausgård explores in his latest novel, The School of Night. Internationally acclaimed and award-winning Norwegian author Knausgård is known for blending everyday characters with transcendent perceptions of reality, and this new installment of The Morning Star series continues this thread while examining the power of human ambition. Set in 1985 London, a city rife with possibility and desire, Knausgård's story follows Kristian Hadeland, a young photographer who believes his art is destined for greatness. His family, however, never understood him, and his fellow photography students bore him. When he meets Hans, an eccentric Dutch artist, the future he yearns for is possible—as long as he is willing to sacrifice everything and stop at nothing. Twenty-four years later, Kristian sees his dreams come true. A major retrospective of his work is held in New York City. Yet his past catches up to him, and Kristian's world begins to crumble. Success comes at a price, but is he prepared to pay it? In a twist on Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, Karl Ove Knausgård questions what we will do to achieve success—and how far we are willing to fall. The fourth novel in The Morning Star series that collides the ordinary with the extraordinary, The School of Night is a tale about dark temptations and moral depravity, and what we forget when we bargain with the devil. Karl Ove Knausgård's first novel, Out of the World, was the first ever debut novel to win the Norwegian Critics' Prize, and his second, A Time for Everything, was longlisted for the 2010 International Dublin Literary Award. The My Struggle cycle of novels has been heralded as a masterpiece wherever it has appeared. His work is published in thirty-five languages. Knausgaard's newest novel, The School of Night, will be published by Penguin Press in January 2026. Elizabeth DeNoma wears a number of hats within the publishing world. She's a translator from Scandinavia languages (whose most recent work is SNOW: A History by Sverker Sörlin), a ghostwriter and developmental editor, as well as a literary agent at the boutique international agency of Sebes, Bisseling, and Kleuver.

Clip from our latest Patreon-exclusive bonus episode covering The Bride!, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Psycho Killer, and Scream 7! LISTEN TO ALL 42 VOLUMES OF THE BREAKFAST BUFFET The world of horror is never dull. In today's episode, we're covering two ravenously bold, fascinating movies and two others that were crushingly disappointing and non-committal. Scream 7 is the Hallmark version of The Rise of Skywalker, an insult to the whip-smart commentary-focused filmmaking that began the franchise. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a gonzo meditation on violence, cruelty, and hope that refuses to make even one easy or obvious narrative choice. Psycho Killer is a genuinely fascinating, puzzling misstep that manages to entirely waste an interesting premise and strong creature design in favor of a Wile E. Coyote-style twist. The Bride! reminds us why we go to the movies, for big swings, breathtaking style, and original, fearless storytelling. Also, for Cam at least, for new and novel stagings of Doctor Faustus -- in this case, what might be the definitive and damningly American version of the tale.

70 años después de su muerte, la obra de Thomas Mann queda libre de derechos. Nos parece motivo suficiente para dedicarle un programa monográfico y repasar sus obras más destacadas, de Los Buddenbrook a Doctor Faustus. Con Rubén Amón, Sergio del Molino, Rosa Belmonte, Isabel Vázquez y Guillermo Altares.

'Hero and Leander' was published in 1598, and anyone who came across it in a stationer's shop in Elizabethan London would have known that its author was dead, killed in a brawl in Deptford in 1593. Christopher Marlowe's sensational life as playwright and spy is matched by the wit, sophistication and eroticism of his eccentric retelling of Ovid's myth, based on a 6th-century version by Musaeus. Seamus and Mark begin their new series by looking at the playful but often troubling treatment of desire in a poem that contains one of the most explicit depictions of sex in English poetry.

The History of the Damnable Life and Deserved Death of Doctor John Faustus, is the book that is the source for Christopher Marlowe's play. Chapter by chapter we will wander through the twists and turns of this story. This was a tricky episode to record, as I had made a decision to use a specific version of the text with very odd versions of place names - I lost all ability to say these places in any comprehensible way, but hopefully it isn't too weird. CW: Infanticide, anti-Catholic and Islamphobic sentiments, especially towards the end. The latter section with the problematic depiction of Islamic culture, also features a host of sexual consent issues. Chapter Twenty-Two: How Doctor Faustus made his journey through the principal and most famous lands in the world.   Our patrons also get an exploring session looking in detail at the text - join our chat here.

We always win any Devil's bargain when Dr. Paul Bishop graces the Virtual Alexandria. He'll discuss his new book, Jung and the Epic of Transformation Vol. 2: Goethe's “Faust” as a Text of Transformation. We'll explore a crucial text in the bridge of the spirit, widely considered the most critical work of German literature, spanning the cosmic journey from a prologue in heaven to hell. Paul's analysis delves into the protagonist's profound dilemma of the split personality and his existential self-alienation, which drives him to embrace ceaseless activity and a perilous descent into the depths of the unconscious, seeking fulfillment in the Unattainable. We'll examine how themes like redemption, eternal growth, and the concept that all transient reality is merely a likeness reveal the enduring mystery and importance of this work as an epic of transformation.

In this week's episode of Book Talk for BookTok, Jac and Amy sit down with Natasha Siegel, author of As Many Souls as Stars, a hauntingly beautiful sapphic romantasy inspired by the Faustus legend. Together, they explore how Natasha's background in historical fiction, romance, and Jewish-Danish heritage shaped her richly imagined world of love, loss, and the meaning of the soul. Through the lenses of literary analysis and character psychology, we unpack: How Natasha's research for Solomon's Crown and The Faithless informed her fantasy world-building The subversion of the Faustian Bargain trope and why Cybil's resistance makes the story unforgettable Why sapphic romance was essential—not optional—for the emotional truth of Miriam and Cybil's journey The book's exploration of humanity, identity, and transformation Which side characters Natasha wishes she could have written more of (and what might come next) If you love sapphic fantasy, queer romance, and emotionally charged romantasy with literary depth, this conversation is for you. As Many Souls as Stars combines feminine power, moral complexity, and lush romantic tension, making it a must-read for fans of T. Kingfisher, Samantha Shannon, and Alix E. Harrow. About the Guest: Natasha Siegel is a London-based author of historical fiction, fantasy, and romance. Her debut, Solomon's Crown, was a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice. Her latest, As Many Souls as Stars, reimagines the Faustus myth through a sapphic lens, blending moral temptation with tender humanity.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! For die-hard fans of horror and fantasy like us, Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein might just be the perfect film — and it's also almost certainly the best adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel ever made. In this episode, Cam leads us on a whirlwind tour through the source material's intimate relationship with Doctor Faustus and some of this rendition's most thrilling and thoughtful additions to that proud lineage. We also explore the film's kaleidoscopic structure within the frame of a familiar favorite, analyze Del Toro's sumptuous directorial style, and take a closer look at his (pun intended) Creature design.

Episode 191:For today's guest episode it is a welcome return to Ricky Dukes, artistic director of Lazarus Theatre Company. Following on from our conversation about ‘Henry V' Ricky and I went on to discuss ‘Julius Caesar'. Not surprisingly our conversation pulled out some alternative points to those I raised in my episode on the play, especially when it came to talking about aspects of staging the play and the impact of the female roles in the play, which I did not mention in any detail previously. So, please see these two episodes as complimenting each other, but as long as you are familiar with the play you don't need to have listened to my episode first, or, for that matter, our earlier discussion of ‘Heny V', to enjoy this one. Ricky Dukes is an award-winning Director, Practitioner and Teacher based in the West Midlands and London. In 2007 he founded Lazarus Theatre Company and is the company's current Artistic Director for which he won Best Artistic Director in the 2012 Fringe Report Awards. His work is ensemble led with actor detail at its heart creating large scale visual, visceral, and vibrant theatrical experiences. Ricky has gone on to direct over 40 productions for Lazarus Theatre Company including: The Changeling, Hamlet, Doctor Faustus, Oscar Wilde's Salomé, Macbeth, Marlowe's Edward II, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, Tis Pity She's A Whore, and Dido, Queen of Carthage. Ricky also runs workshops for actors under the ‘Lazarus Gym' banner, and I have put links in the show notes to his activities so you can follow that up further if you wish.Check out Lazarus Theatre here: https://www.lazarustheatrecompany.co.ukSupport the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

Episode 187:This episode is both an ending and a beginning. An ending because it is the last of the recent run of consecutive guest episodes – next time we will be returning to Shakespeare, Jonson and their plays – but it is also the first of what I hope will be a series of guest episodes attached to each of the very significant Shakespeare plays that are coming up soon. With the very well-known and arguably greatest of Shakespeare's plays the task of providing some meaningful commentary is, I have found, very daunting, so I thought it would be a good idea to have another view on these plays to bring another perspective to them besides my own. I am also keen for those views to be born from the practical experience of producing the plays and understanding them from an actor's perspective and therefore as a result of close exploration of the text.
