Today's poem is a particularly novel example of an ancient writerly tradition: writing about how hard it is to write. Happy reading.On February 9, 1874, Amy Lowell was born at Sevenels, a ten-acre family estate in Brookline, Massachusetts. Her family was Episcopalian, of old New England stock, and at the top of Boston society. Lowell was the youngest of five children. Her elder brother Abbott Lawrence, a freshman at Harvard at the time of her birth, went on to become president of Harvard College. As a young girl she was first tutored at home, then attended private schools in Boston, during which time she made several trips to Europe with her family. At seventeen, she secluded herself in the 7,000-book library at Sevenels to study literature. Lowell was encouraged to write from an early age.In 1887 Lowell, with her mother and sister, wrote Dream Drops or Stories From Fairy Land by a Dreamer, printed privately by the Boston firm Cupples and Hurd. Her poem “Fixed Idea” was published in 1910 by the Atlantic Monthly, after which Lowell published individual poems in various journals. In October of 1912, Houghton Mifflin published her first collection, A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass.Lowell, a vivacious and outspoken businesswoman, tended to excite controversy. She was deeply interested in and influenced by the Imagist movement, led by Ezra Pound. The primary Imagists were Pound, Richard Aldington, H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), and Ford Madox Ford. This Anglo-American movement believed, in Lowell's words, that “concentration is of the very essence of poetry” and strove to “produce poetry that is hard and clear, never blurred nor indefinite.” Lowell campaigned for the success of Imagist poetry in America and embraced its principles in her own work. She acted as a publicity agent for the movement, editing and contributing to an anthology of Imagist poets in 1915.Lowell's enthusiastic involvement and influence contributed to Pound's separation from the movement. As Lowell continued to explore the Imagist style she pioneered the use of “polyphonic prose” in English, mixing formal verse and free forms. Later she was drawn to and influenced by Chinese and Japanese poetry. This interest led her to collaborate with translator Florence Ayscough on Fir-Flower Tablets in 1921. Lowell had a lifelong love for the poet John Keats, whose letters she collected and whose influence can be seen in her poems. She believed him to be the forbearer of Imagism. Her biography of Keats was published in 1925, the same year she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection What's O'Clock (Houghton Mifflin Company, 1925).A dedicated poet, publicity agent, collector, critic, and lecturer, Amy Lowell died on May 12, 1925, at Sevenels.-bio via Academy of American Poets Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Seamus O'Malley is an associate professor at Yeshiva University. His first book was Making History New: Modernism and Historical Narrative (Oxford University Press, 2015). He has co-edited three volumes, one of essays on Ford Madox Ford and America (Rodopi, 2010), a research companion to Ford (Routledge, 2018) and a volume of essays on the cartoonists Julie Doucet and Gabrielle Bell (Mississippi, 2018). He is the chair of the Ford Madox Ford Society and co-chair of the Columbia University Seminar for Irish Studies. In this interview he discusses his new book, Irish Culture and "The People": Populism and Its Discontents (Oxford UP, 2022), a study of the rhetoric of populism and uses of the seemingly simple concept “The People” in Irish political and literary discourse. Irish Culture and ‘The People' argues that populism has been a shaping force in Irish literary culture. Populist moments and movements have compelled authors to reject established forms and invent new ones. Sometimes, as in the middle period of W.B. Yeats's work, populism forces a writer into impossible stances, spurring ever greater rhetorical and poetic creativity. At other times, as in the critiques of Anna Parnell or Myles na gCopaleen, authors penetrate the rhetoric fog of populist discourse and expose the hollowness of its claims. Yet in both politics and culture, populism can be a generative force.  Daniel O'Connell, and later the Land League, utilized populist discourse to advance Irish political freedom and expand rights. The most powerful works of Lady Gregory and Ernie O'Malley are their portraits of The People that borrows from the populist vocabulary. While we must be critical of populist discourse, we dismiss it at our loss. This study synthesizes existing scholarship on populism to explore how Irish texts have evoked "The People"--a crucial rhetorical move for populist discourse--and how some writers have critiqued, adopted, and adapted the languages of Irish populisms.

Cynicism is usually seen as a provocative mode of dissent from conventional moral thought, casting doubt on the motives that guide right conduct. When critics today complain that it is ubiquitous but lacks the serious bite of classical Cynicism, they express concern that it can now only be corrosively negative. The Function of Cynicism at the Present Time (Oxford UP, 2020) takes a more balanced view. Re-evaluating the role of cynicism in literature, cultural criticism, and philosophy from 1840 to the present, it treats cynic confrontationalism as a widely-employed credibility-check on the promotion of moral ideals--with roots in human psychology. Helen Small investigates how writers have engaged with Cynic traditions of thought, and later more gestural styles of cynicism, to re-calibrate dominant moral values, judgements of taste, and political agreements. The argument develops through a series of cynic challenges to accepted moral thinking: Friedrich Nietzsche on morality; Thomas Carlyle v. J. S. Mill on the permissible limits of moral provocation; Arnold on the freedom of criticism; George Eliot and Ford Madox Ford on cosmopolitanism; Bertrand Russell, John Dewey, and Laura Kipnis on the conditions of work in the university. The Function of Cynicism treats topics of present-day public concern: abrasive styles of public argument; debasing challenges to conventional morality; free speech, moral controversialism; the authority of reason and the limits of that authority; nationalism and resistance to nationalism; and liberty of expression as a core principle of the university. Helen Small is Merton Professor of English Language and Literature at the University of Oxford. She is the author of The Value of the Humanities (OUP, 2013) and The Long Life (OUP, 2007) (winner of the Truman Capote Prize for Literary Criticism (2008) and the British Academy's Rose Mary Crawshay Prize (2008)), and editor of The Public Intellectual (Blackwell, 2002). She has written widely on literature and philosophy, nineteenth-century fiction and public moralism, and the relationship between the Humanities, Sciences, and Social Sciences.

Cynicism is usually seen as a provocative mode of dissent from conventional moral thought, casting doubt on the motives that guide right conduct. When critics today complain that it is ubiquitous but lacks the serious bite of classical Cynicism, they express concern that it can now only be corrosively negative. The Function of Cynicism at the Present Time (Oxford UP, 2020) takes a more balanced view. Re-evaluating the role of cynicism in literature, cultural criticism, and philosophy from 1840 to the present, it treats cynic confrontationalism as a widely-employed credibility-check on the promotion of moral ideals--with roots in human psychology. Helen Small investigates how writers have engaged with Cynic traditions of thought, and later more gestural styles of cynicism, to re-calibrate dominant moral values, judgements of taste, and political agreements. The argument develops through a series of cynic challenges to accepted moral thinking: Friedrich Nietzsche on morality; Thomas Carlyle v. J. S. Mill on the permissible limits of moral provocation; Arnold on the freedom of criticism; George Eliot and Ford Madox Ford on cosmopolitanism; Bertrand Russell, John Dewey, and Laura Kipnis on the conditions of work in the university. The Function of Cynicism treats topics of present-day public concern: abrasive styles of public argument; debasing challenges to conventional morality; free speech, moral controversialism; the authority of reason and the limits of that authority; nationalism and resistance to nationalism; and liberty of expression as a core principle of the university.

The Good Soldier

The writer Jean Rhys is best known for Wide Sargasso Sea, her haunting prequel to Jane Eyre, yet her own life would have made for an equally compelling novel. Miranda Seymour, author of the definitive Jean Rhys biography I Used to Live Here Once, joins the Slightly Foxed team to follow Rhys's often rackety life and shine light on her writing. Born Ella Gwendolen Rees Williams on the island of Dominica, she dreamed of being an actress. And she did play many roles over the years: raconteur, recluse, wife (three times), grieving mother, enthusiastic drinker . . . But her most important role was that of a writer. We begin in the Caribbean with Smile Please, Rhys's unfinished autobiography of her early years, where we meet a white creole girl who feels like an outsider. This feeling lingers, whether she is living in squalid London, on Paris's Left Bank or in rural Devon. The women in her novels feel it too: Anna adrift in London in Voyage in the Dark, Julia leaving Paris in After Leaving Mr Mackenzie, Antoinette bound for Mr Rochester's attic in Wide Sargasso Sea. The voice of Sacha rings out in a BBC radio play of Good Morning, Midnight many years after its publication, bringing Rhys into the spotlight. Embezzlement, incarcerations, fisticuffs in the street and an unsuccessful menage à trois all trouble her at times, yet she wins over many supporters along the way, among them the writer Ford Madox Ford, the editors Francis Wyndham and Diana Athill, and her loyal friend Sonia Orwell. Then we're back in Paris, browsing the shelves of the Shakespeare and Company bookshop, and selecting some New Year reading recommendations – post-apocalyptic science fiction by John Christopher, travels Along the Enchanted Way in Romania, and the artistic life of Alison vividly told in words and pictures by Lizzy Stewart.

Writer Brian Hall joins host Catherine Nichols to discuss Ford Madox Ford's 1928 quartet of novels, Parade's End, focusing particularly on the first book, Some Do Not.... Their conversation covers the book's place in Modernist literature, comparisons to the work of E.M. Forster and Virginia Woolf, and particularly its descriptions of World War One: as granular as a soldier's perspective on the field all the way outward to the war's effects on every part of British society. Brian Hall is the author of eight books, five of them novels, including The Saskiad (Houghton-Mifflin, 1997); I Should Be Extremely Happy In Your Company (Viking, 2003); and Fall of Frost (Viking, 2008). The Saskiad, a coming-of-age novel about a precocious and imaginative young girl, has been translated into 12 languages. I Should Be Extremely Happy In Your Company was named one of the best novels of the year by The Boston Globe, Salon Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, and The Christian Science Monitor. Fall of Frost was named one of the best novels of the year by The Boston Globe and The Washington Post. His most recent novel is The Stone Loves the World (Viking, 2021). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this special episode of Money on the Left, the MotL Collective shares an audio recording from a conference panel titled, “Monetary Modernism.” Featuring papers by Scott Ferguson (University of South Florida), Rob Hawkes (Teesside University), and Maxximilian Seijo (University of California, Santa Barbara), the panel was presented at the Hopeful Modernisms conference organized by the British Association for Modernist Studies (BAMS) at University of Bristol, June 22 - 25, 2022. The conference sought to revive hopeful and more generative impulses in modernist art and literature, challenging a persistent view of modernism as relentlessly bleak and angst-ridden. It did so, moreover, for a present moment similarly burdened by dead-end accelerationist and pessimist imaginaries. The panel begins with Rob Hawkes. He introduces the BAMS audience to the wide-ranging contributions of the Money on the Left Editorial Collective. He also makes the case for reading Georg Friedrich Knapp's early twentieth-century chartalist approach to money as a modernist project deeply entwined with myriad other aesthetic modernisms. In the first presentation, Scott Ferguson explores how Len Lye's Rainbow Dance (1936), a short experimental promotional film for British public postal banking,embraces the abstractness, publicness, and heterogeneous plentitude of both money mediation and avant-garde cinema. In the second talk, Rob Hawkes uncovers how tensions between fixed and fluid understandings of identity formation and history inform John Maynard Keynes' chartalist-inspired writings on money as much as Nella Larsen's 1929 novella Passing and Ford Madox Ford's 1933 novel The Rash Act. Lastly, Maximilian Seijo's presentation carefully works through metaphors for money in Virginia Woolf's book-length feminist essay, A Room of One's Own (1929), complicating the text's appeals to monetary substances and fluids by teasing out its experimental approach to imagining non-patriarchal infrastructures for provisioning aesthetic work. If you are interested in the texts and images that accompany some of the presentations, see here for Rob Hawkes' slides and here for Scott Ferguson's PowerPoint deck.

Stephen Crane (1871-1900) lived fast, died young, and impressed everyone with his prose style and insight into the human condition. While he's best known today for his novels The Red Badge of Courage and Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (along with some classic short stories like "The Open Boat," "the Blue Hotel," and "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky"), his literary fame during his life was supplemented by his notorious exploits. Shipwrecks, romance, scandal, and high-profile court cases - and he somehow also found time to befriend literary lions like H.G. Wells, Ford Madox Ford, Henry James, and Joseph Conrad. In this episode, Jacke talks to Crane's biographer Linda H. Davis, whose new book Badge of Courage: The Life of Stephen Crane goes deep into the life and mind of the man whose own powers of empathy made him a staple of twentieth-century bookshelves and syllabi.  Additional reading suggestions: Episode 110 - Heart of Darkness - Then and Now Episode 316 - Willa Cather (with Lauren Marino) Episode 275 - Hemingway and the Truth (with Richard Bradford) Help support the show at patreon.com/literature or historyofliterature.com/shop.

The Money on the Left Editorial Collective is proud to present a recent talk by English literature scholar Rob Hawkes titled, “‘The Power of Money is so Hard to Realize’: Literature, Money and Trust in George Gissing's 1891 Novel New Grub Street.” In it, Hawkes draws out urgent, though regularly overlooked linkages between modern money and modern literature. In particular, he explores British novelist George Gissing’s reflexive and genre-bending book to pose the problem of social trust from a neochartalist or MMT-informed perspective. Dr. Rob Hawkes is Senior Lecturer in English Studies at Teesside University in the United Kingdom; a Fellow of the English Association; and a member of the Executive Steering Committee of the British Association for Modernist Studies. He is the author of Ford Madox Ford and the Misfit Moderns: Edwardian Fiction and the First World War (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) and co-editor several related books on Ford Madox Ford. Recently, he contributed ‘Openness, Otherness, and Expertise: Uncertainty and Trust in Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle’ to the collection, Comedy and the Politics of Representation: Mocking the Weak, edited by Helen Davies and Sarah Ilott (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018). And he is now working on a monograph on literature, money, and trust from the 1890s to the 1980s. To contact Dr. Hawkes, email him at r.hawkes@tees.ac.uk. Or, you can find him on Twitter @robbhawkes.

We take a look at The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford.

The first rule of Fight Club is... talk about it incessantly because it's been over 20 years and we're still bickering about it. So where do we stand on the great "is it misunderstood?" debate? How do we feel about its treatment of masculinity and questions of class? Also, the ever-important question: Brad Pitt or Edward Norton?Warning: Contains swearing and discussions of lots of objectionable content, including sex, violence, and suicide.Some Links You Might Find Interesting:Second Selves, Second Stories: Unreliable Narration and the Circularity of Reading in Ford Madox Ford’s The Good Soldier and Chuck Palahniuk’s / David Fincher’s Fight Club by Christina WaldFight Club author Chuck Palahniuk on his book becoming a bible for the incel movement by Ben Beaumont-ThomasFight Club and the World Trade Center: On Metaphor, Scale, and the Spatio-temporal (Dis)location of Violence by P.

Nuchtchas, host of the Nutty Bites podcast joins us for our last recording of 2019. The Great War looms large for the characters of Parade's End (2013), a five-part mini-series based on the novels by Ford Madox Ford. Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Christopher Tietjens, a real "mug" of the landed gentry, who wrestles with his obligations toward his rotter of a wife, Sylvia, and his affections for the far sweeter but nonetheless impassioned suffragette Valentine. It's a comedy, we were told. (14:34 - 1:22:00) ... The backwaters of Louisiana is the setting for True Detective (2014), HBO's crime anthology series that had one good season. When a deceased woman is found artfully posed way out in the sticks, surrounded by sticks, Matthew McConaughey's Rust and Woody Harrelson's Marty are tasked with finding the killer. But not before much ponderous pontificating on mankind's existence in this giant gutter in outer space we call Planet Earth. (1:22:01 - 2:36:10) ... Also, Run and House of the Dragon. (0 - 14:33).

Soraya and Jeff are once again joined by the fab Lina Litonjua to discuss the show held on Thursday, October 3rd, 2019 at The Roxy in Hollywood, CA. featuring The Long Ryders with opening act Ford Madox Ford (which includes former Dils and Rank & File member Chip Kinman).

For years, Mike would see references to Ford Madox Ford in articles about famous modernist writers and think: "I should really check that guy out one of these days." Well, listeners, that day is today. Mike drags Tom along for an exploration of The Good Soldier, Ford's most famous book, a short novel about two couples whose lives intersect at a German spa for people with heart ailments. "This is the saddest story I have ever heard," the book begins, before plunging readers into a sometimes disorienting tale of infidelity and (maybe?) murder. We talk about the book's non-chronological storytelling technique, as well as the unreliable narrator at its center, whose version of events we're never quite sure how much to trust. Also this week: #DonutQuest2019 continues, with Tom bringing over a couple samplings from his home state of New Jersey.

We frequently worry that we live in a “distracted age.” But perhaps the human condition is always to live “almost always in one place with our minds somewhere quite another” (Ford Madox Ford, “On Impressionism”). Join John’s conversation with Marina Van Zuylen of Bard College. Van Zuylen, the author of The Plenitude of Distraction, makes … Continue reading "8 Distraction, a Conversation (Marina Van Zuylen and John Plotz at Harvard’s Mahindra Center)"

--About the Lecture By 1947, the year of his first visit to America, Evelyn Waugh had wounded most of his friends. He had tried to bully John Betjeman and Lady Diana Cooper into Catholicism; he had condemned Olivia Plunket-Greene, the woman who had brought him to the Church, as a traitor to the faith; he had lampooned Cyril Connolly in mordant literary reviews. When, two years later, Nancy Mitford entertained him in Paris and he conscientiously insulted all her friends, she asked him why he needed to be so cruel. 'You have no idea,' he replied, 'how much nastier I would be if I was not a Catholic. Without supernatural aid I would hardly be a human being.' This much-quoted remark from Christopher Sykes’s biography is often set alongside another. Hilaire Belloc, after a visit from Waugh, described him as 'possessed'. Waugh’s American experience, however, reveals a much more sympathetic character. In 1944, after Waugh broke a leg while learning to parachute, the army gratefully allowed him extended leave, during which he wrote Brideshead Revisited (1945). Appearing with the Armistice, it transformed his career. In America, it was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection. At a time when most of his countrymen were suffering the austerities of the aftermath, Waugh became rich, and he had the Americans to thank for this. But he didn't. In 1947, he travelled to Hollywood to negotiate the film rights for an additional $100,000. Waugh preferred to visit Forest Lawn and the pets' cemetery to attending script conferences, so, although this trip resulted in no film, it did produce The Loved One (1948), an hilarious satire of the American Dream. Waugh's agent advised him not to publish it in the US. Waugh ignored his advice, and the book rocketed into the best-seller list. His celebrity status had never been higher there. Two more American journeys, however, present us with a quite different personality. He believed that American Catholicism was likely to be the Church's powerhouse in the post-war world, and he determined to do what he could to support it. A lecture tour was planned for January 1949. Before that, in November 1948, he went on a research trip to discuss the faith with the monks, Bishops and Professors. Less than a year after completing The Loved One, he was returning to the country his book had savaged in search of spiritual enlightenment. Everywhere he went, he amused and baffled his hosts. He would not play the celebrity game. The great art of public presentation, he felt, was that people should never know what to make of you. A contract existed between writer and public. 'The writer,' he once wrote, 'sweats to write well; the reader sweats to make dollars; writer and reader exchange books for dollars.' That was the end of the matter. He did not seek intimacy with strangers. But this was not arrogance or hypocrisy. In fact, he was withdrawing from the world, in search of contrition, compassion and humility. --About the speaker Martin Stannard is Emeritus Professor of Modern English Literature at the University of Leicester.

In de eerste aflevering van deze podcast trekt Johan Van Cauwenberge naar de voormalige slagvelden van de Somme in Noord-Frankrijk. Hier werd in 1916 één van de grootste veldslagen uit WO I uitgevochten. Veel Britten vochten hier, waaronder J.R.R. Tolkien, Ford Madox Ford, George Butterworth ... Ze komen allemaal aan bod in deze eerste aflevering. Johan neemt op zijn tocht ook zijn zoon mee, de striptekenaar Conz. Historica Sophie De Schaepdrijver volgt hen in gedachten en geeft context en commentaar.

Valentine und Christopher finden sich wieder und müssen nun nach vier Jahren Ausnahmezustand ihre Realität neu zusammensetzen und gestalten. // Aus dem Englischen von Joachim Utz / Mit Jens Harzer, Felix Goeser, Anna Drexer, Caroline Ebner, Moritz Kienemann, Wolfram Koch, Manfred Zapatka, Shenja Lacher, Oliver Nägele / Ton und Technik: Marcus Huber, Fabian Zweck, Andreas Meinetsberger /Assistenz: Kathrin Herm, Stefanie Ramb / Bearbeitung, Komposition und Regie: Klaus Buhlert / BR 2018

Endgültig und unwiederbringlich zerfällt die alte Ordnung, privat wie gesellschaftlich, mit dem Ende des Krieges, dem Tag des Waffenstillstands, mit dem der dritte Band, "Der Mann, der aufrecht blieb", beginnt. // Aus dem Englischen von Joachim Utz / Mit Jens Harzer, Felix Goeser, Anna Drexler, Jeanette Spassova, Wiebke Puls, Shenja Lacher, Moritz Kienemann / Ton und Technik: Marcus Huber, Fabian Zweck, Andreas Meinetsberger /Assistenz: Kathrin Herm, Stefanie Ramb / Bearbeitung, Komposition und Regie: Klaus Buhlert / BR 2018

Christopher Tietjens ist ein Held vom alten Schlag, der wohl letzte verbliebene Gentleman im England des beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts. Die immer korrupter und unmoralischer werdende Gesellschaft - allen voran seine untreue Ehefrau Sylvia - machen es ihm zunehmend schwer, seine noblen Ideale von Selbstlosigkeit und Zurückhaltung zu bewahren. Im ersten Band, "Manche tun es nicht", ist der Rosenkrieg mit seiner Frau Sylvia, die zwischenzeitlich mit einem anderen durchgebrannt war, in vollem Gange. Da bricht der Erste Weltkrieg aus und Christopher Tietjens meldet sich freiwillig, er flüchtet gleichsam an die Front und lässt die junge Valentine Wannop, in die er sich verliebt hat, zurück, ohne sich mit ihr eingelassen zu haben. Denn Tietjens gehört zu denen, die moralisch integer bleiben wollen, die es eben nicht tun. // Aus dem Englischen von Joachim Utz / Mit Jens Harzer, Felix Goeser, Bibiana Beglau, Stefan Merki, Wiebke Puls, Stefan Wilkening, Manfred Zapatka, Anna Drexler, Caroline Ebner, Jeanette Spassova, Wolfram Koch, Wowo Habdank, Oliver Nägele, Franz Pätzold, Steven Scharf, Wowo Habdank / Ton und Technik: Marcus Huber, Fabian Zweck, Andreas Meinetsberger /Assistenz: Kathrin Herm, Stefanie Ramb / Bearbeitung, Komposition und Regie: Klaus Buhlert / BR 2018

Christopher Tietjens zieht in den Ersten Weltkrieg und muss an zwei Fronten gleichzeitig kämpfen: Als Soldat gegen die Deutschen, als Ehrenmann gegen die Intrigen seiner Frau. Ford Madox Ford zeichnet mit seiner Tetralogie das Porträt einer Gesellschaft im Umbruch, vom Viktorianismus hin zur Moderne: Frauen kämpfen um das Recht zu wählen, die Elite verliert sich in Diskussionen um Rang und Namen, die Wirtschaft ist in Schieflage geraten, Ehe und Familie haben durch den allgemeinen Trend zur Untreue an Wert. // Aus dem Englischen von Joachim Utz / Mit Jens Harzer, Felix Goeser, Bibiana Beglau, Stefan Merki, Steven Scharf, Anna Drexler, Franz Pätzold, Jeanette Spassova, , Oliver Nägele, Franz Pätzold, Wowo Habdank / Ton und Technik: Marcus Huber, Fabian Zweck, Andreas Meinetsberger /Assistenz: Kathrin Herm, Stefanie Ramb / Bearbeitung, Komposition und Regie: Klaus Buhlert / BR 2018

"Keine Paraden mehr", der zweite Band, zeigt den Helden dann in Frankreich an der Front, inmitten von Waffenlärm, Schlamm und Blut, während seine Ehefrau sich vor der Presse inszeniert. Erst als ihr klar wird, dass Tietjens sich neu verliebt hat, versucht sie, ihn zu verführen und zurückzugewinnen. // Aus dem Englischen von Joachim Utz / Mit Jens Harzer, Felix Goeser, Shenja Lacher, Johannes Silberschneider, Oliver Nägele, Achim Buch, Moritz Kienemann, Franz Pätzold / Ton und Technik: Marcus Huber, Fabian Zweck, Andreas Meinetsberger /Assistenz: Kathrin Herm, Stefanie Ramb / Bearbeitung, Komposition und Regie: Klaus Buhlert / BR 2018

Ford Madox Ford bildet die in allen sozialen Schichten vorherrschende Orientierungslosigkeit durch seine Erzählweise ab, er vermischt Perspektiven, innere Monologe, Bilder und Erinnerungen, die umherfliegen wie Granatensplitter. // Aus dem Englischen von Joachim Utz / Mit Jens Harzer, Felix Goeser, Bibiana Beglau, Manfred Zapatka, Achim Buch, Franz Pätzold, Johannes Silberschneider, Stefan Wilkening, Moritz Kienemann / Ton und Technik: Marcus Huber, Fabian Zweck, Andreas Meinetsberger /Assistenz: Kathrin Herm, Stefanie Ramb / Bearbeitung, Komposition und Regie: Klaus Buhlert / BR 2018

Als Epilog rekapituliert der vierte Band, "Zapfenstreich", schließlich aus der Sicht vieler verschiedener Figuren in Christopher Tietjens Umfeld, was sich in den vergangenen Jahren ereignet hat. Tietjens lebt zusammen mit Valentine, die ein Kind von ihm erwartet, seinem sterbenden Bruder Mark und dessen französischer Geliebter auf dem Familienanwesen. Der Bruder hat am Tag des Waffenstillstandes beschlossen, nie mehr zu sprechen. Diese Sprachlosigkeit angesichts der inneren und äußeren Umwälzungen des Systems ist symptomatisch für den gesamten Text und für die Zeit, in der er spielt. Das nicht Gesagte oder nicht Sagbare ist auch die Herausforderung für die siebenteilige Hörspielproduktion, die Klaus Buhlert aus Ford Madox Fords vier Romanbänden inszeniert hat. Die Bruchstücke, Wortfetzen, Eindrücke und Vorstellungen verdichten sich immer wieder zu dynamischen Musiktableaus, die das Kriegsgetöse lautmalerisch hörbar machen, die Leitmotive hervorheben und so ihr eigenes akustisches Bild von Ford Madox Fords Welt zeichnen. // Aus dem Englischen von Joachim Utz / Mit Jens Harzer, Steven Scharf, Anna Drexler, Caroline Ebner, Bibiana Beglau, Felix Goeser, Wowo Habdank, Joschka Walser, Jeanette Spassova, Franz Pätzold, Wiebke Puls / Ton und Technik: Marcus Huber, Fabian Zweck, Andreas Meinetsberger /Assistenz: Kathrin Herm, Stefanie Ramb / Bearbeitung, Komposition und Regie: Klaus Buhlert / BR 2018

Writing about the Scottish-born novelist Margot Livesey, the author Alice Sebold remarked, “Every novel of Margot Livesey’s is, for her readers, a joyous discovery. Her work radiates with compassion and intelligence and always, deliciously, mystery.” How has Margot Livesey managed to create this suspense in novel after novel, including in contemporary classics such as The Flight of Gemma Hardy, The House on Fortune Street, and her most recent work, Mercury? Host Jacke Wilson is joined by the author for a conversation about her readerly passions and writerly inspirations, including Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Ford Madox Ford’s The Good Soldier, and James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the life and works of William Hazlitt. Hazlitt is best known for his essays, which ranged in subject matter from Shakespeare, through his first meeting with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, to a boxing match. What is less well-known, however, is that he began his writing life as a philosopher, before deliberately abandoning the field for journalism. Nonetheless, his early reasoning about the power of the imagination to take human beings beyond narrow self-interest, as encapsulated in his 'Essay on the Principles of Human Action', shines through his more popular work.Hazlitt is a figure full of contradictions - a republican who revered Napoleon, and a radical who admired the conservative philosopher Edmund Burke. His reputation suffered terribly from his book 'Liber Amoris', a self-revealing memoir of his infatuation with his landlady's daughter. But in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, his importance was acknowledged by writers like Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson and Ford Madox Ford. In the 180 years since his death, his stature as perhaps the finest essayist in the language has grown and grown.
