Ses pièces ont traversé les âges, explorant l'âme humaine avec une finesse et une profondeur inégalées. Pourtant, un doute étrange plane encore autour de sa figure : et s'il n'avait jamais existé ?1. Le doute naît d'un silenceTout commence au XIXe siècle, dans une époque où la critique littéraire devient plus méthodique, presque scientifique. Des chercheurs se penchent sur la vie de Shakespeare… et découvrent un vide troublant. On connaît très peu de choses sur l'homme de Stratford-upon-Avon. Pas de lettres conservées, aucun manuscrit de pièce de sa main, pas de preuve directe qu'il ait jamais voyagé hors d'Angleterre, ni fréquenté une université. En revanche, les œuvres sont remplies de références érudites au droit, à la politique, à la géographie italienne ou à la cour d'Angleterre, que l'on imagine difficilement accessibles à un simple fils de gantier, formé dans une école de province.C'est ainsi qu'un courant de pensée émerge : celui des anti-stratfordiens, convaincus que William Shakespeare n'aurait été qu'un prête-nom, une sorte de figure publique derrière laquelle se cacherait un véritable génie littéraire. Parmi les suspects avancés, on trouve Francis Bacon, philosophe et juriste, Christopher Marlowe, dramaturge rival, ou même la comtesse de Pembroke, femme de lettres éduquée et influente. L'idée séduit jusqu'à des figures prestigieuses comme Mark Twain, Sigmund Freud ou Henry James, qui voient mal comment un homme si discret, sans archives, aurait pu écrire Hamlet, Le Roi Lear ou Othello.Mais ce doute, aussi séduisant soit-il, résiste mal aux preuves historiques.2. Les preuves de son existenceCar William Shakespeare, loin d'être un fantôme, a laissé de nombreuses traces dans les archives. Des actes de propriété, des contrats, des témoignages contemporains — notamment celui du poète Ben Jonson, qui le connaissait personnellement — confirment qu'un certain William Shakespeare était acteur, auteur et homme d'affaires à Londres. Plusieurs pièces publiées de son vivant portent son nom. Il possédait même un théâtre, le Globe, où ses œuvres étaient jouées avec succès.3. Le testament : une preuve irréfutableMais la preuve la plus tangible, la plus intime aussi, reste son testament, rédigé peu avant sa mort en 1616. Ce document de trois pages, soigneusement conservé aux Archives nationales de Londres, porte sa signature à trois reprises. On y découvre un homme soucieux de ses proches, léguant ses biens, mentionnant son épouse Anne Hathaway, ses filles, et ses collègues de théâtre. L'existence même de ce testament contredit l'idée d'un mythe vide : il y avait bien un homme derrière le nom.Fait notable : ce testament vient d'être reproduit en 100 exemplaires fac-similés, une première, permettant au public et aux chercheurs d'approcher ce texte fondateur de plus près.En conclusionLa controverse sur l'identité de Shakespeare dit beaucoup sur notre fascination pour le mystère et le génie. Mais les faits, eux, sont têtus. Grâce à des documents officiels, à des témoignages directs — et surtout à ce testament signé de sa main, récemment remis en lumière —, il ne fait plus de doute que William Shakespeare a bel et bien existé. Et que le plus grand auteur anglais était aussi un homme bien réel. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

En la primera conferencia del ciclo “Edith Wharton: su vida, su obra, su tiempo”, el filósofo y escritor Jorge Freire aborda la biografía de la escritora estadounidense Edith Wharton (1862-1937). Nacida en Nueva York durante la guerra civil estadounidense, su pertenencia a una familia de clase alta determinó la creación de sus personajes y el ambiente de sus novelas, en las que puso en cuestión el rol de la mujer en la sociedad de su tiempo. En 1907 se mudó a vivir a Francia, donde mantuvo una gran amistad con Henry James. Esta sesión incluye la lectura dramatizada de la actriz Celia Pérez.  Más información de este acto

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://n9.cl/p0g1y The Jane Austen Omnibus Narrated by Catherine Bilson, Terah Tucker, Sarah Jane Rose, Graham Scott, Denis Daly and Linda Barrans. Jane Austen commenced writing in her adolescence and continued right up to her untimely death in 1817. Her novels are reflections of the socially constricted world in which she lived, and the plots are built around the search of one or more young women for a suitable spouse. Austen's works are noted for the perceptive elegance of her prose and for vigor and detail of characterization. Celebrated critic F. R. Leavis considered Austen as one of the four great English novelists, along with George Eliot, Henry James, and Joseph Conrad. This collection contains the following titles: Sense and Sensibility (1811) Pride and Prejudice (1813) Mansfield Park and Lovers' Vows (1814) Emma (1816) Works published posthumously: Northanger Abbey (1818) Persuasion (1818) Lady Susan (1871) Unfinished works: The Watsons (1871); completed by L. Oulton (1923) Sanditon: Fragment of a Novel (1925)

The continuation of the classic ghost story by Henry James.

In Part 1 of our discussion on Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence, we welcome editor Sheila Liming to discuss the author's friendship with Henry James, a culture of elitism in New York, and the ironic meaning of "innocence" in the novel. Sheila Liming is Associate Professor at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont. She is the author of What a Library Means to a Woman: Edith Wharton and the Will to Collect Books (University of Minnesota Press, 2020) and creator of the web database EdithWhartonsLibrary.org.

Send us a textMuriel White was born into great wealth during the Gilded Age and both her parents was well known in society. Her mother's impressive beauty was written about by authors Edith Wharton and Henry James. Her father, Henry White, was one of the most respected diplomats of that era, with a career extending through WW1. Muriel married a Prussian count just before World War I and for a while had an idyllic life and became the mother of three children. The marriage ultimately failed and as Germany was overshadowed by the Nazis, Muriel was quite vocal on her opposition to them. She was allowed to stay in the family castle and sent her children away to America. While deprived of financial support and with her passport confiscated, she risked her own life in various acts of defiance, including helping to smuggle out a Jewish family. This interview with author Rick Hutto will highlight this woman's incredible life and you'll also learn about his journey as a author to write this biography. Richard Hutto website or https://rickhutto.comBook website or www.thecountess.netKathleen's author site or www.kathleenlangone.comSocial media:Instagram or @phihpodFacebook or search "Kathleen Langone Author"Threads or @phihpod

This is the 400th episode of Historically Thinking. And while it's a podcast that focuses on history, and how historians and everyone else think about the past, I do that each week through conversation. For a long time I have really wanted to believe something that Plato wrote, that “Truth, as human reality, comes about only in conversation.”  So it's fitting, I think, that we devote Episode 400 to having a conversation about conversation with Paula Marantz Cohen, author of Talking Cure: An Essay on the Civilizing Power of Conversation. In this stimulating book, Cohen travels over all the terrains of conversation, from familial conversations to the restaurants most conducive to good conversation; from gatherings of great conversationalists to surprisingly useful self-help books on conversations;  and to gossip, and those little keys that somehow unlock what Samuel Johnson termed “solid conversation”.  Paula Marantz Cohen is Dean Emerita of the Pennoni Honors College and Distinguished Professor of English at Drexel University. Among her books are Of Human Kindness: What Shakespeare Teaches Us About Empathy and six novels, including Jane Austen in Boca, which is “Pride and Prejudice set in a Jewish retirement community in Boca Raton”; the literary mystery What Alice Knew: A Most Curious Tale of Henry James and Jack the Ripper; and Beatrice Bunson's Guide to Romeo and Juliet, a novel for young adults.

We have officially moved out of the Hill House and are ready to move into Bly Manor.  The Haunting of Bly Manor is a gothic horror drama from Mike Flanagan, inspired by the works of Henry James, particularly The Turn of the Screw. Set in the 1980s, the series follows Dani Clayton, an American au pair hired to care for two orphaned children, Flora and Miles, at the eerie Bly Manor. As she settles into the grand yet unsettling estate, Dani discovers that Bly is filled with secrets, tragic histories, and lingering ghosts—both literal and emotional.  Episode 1 introduces Dani as she arrives at Bly Manor, eager to start fresh after a mysterious past haunts her. She meets housekeeper Hannah Grose, chef Owen, gardener Jamie, and the peculiar yet charming children, Flora and Miles. While the manor seems idyllic at first, strange occurrences begin—unlocked doors, unsettling reflections, and whispered warnings from Flora to stay inside at night. As the episode unfolds, it becomes clear that something sinister lurks in the shadows, watching and waiting.   We also celebrate the Stormy Skies officially getting her doctorate!

Paola Tonussi"Poesie"Rupert BrookeInterno Poesiawww.internopoesialibri.comCuratela e traduzione: Paola TonussiPostfazione: Silvio RaffoDefinito come «il migliore dei Georgiani» da Ezra Pound, Rupert Brooke (1887-1915) è il poeta della transience, la bellezza che presto svanisce. Celebre per i sonetti di guerra, da lui poco considerati, Brooke è poeta ben più intenso del mito creato da quei versi e dalla morte precoce nell'azzurro Egeo: una leggenda, un'illusione che colma il disperato bisogno d'ideale degli inglesi in guerra, ma deforma il giovane agitatore socialista e amante dei cruenti elisabettiani nell'idolo dell'establishment. Di straordinaria maestria tecnica adagiata su un letto formale, la sua poesia s'immette nel solco di Marvell e l'assunto nostalgico del tempo che va, quale tentativo di fermare l'istante, la bellezza dai piccoli piedi sempre in fuga, transitoria. Nei così detti “ugly poems” si rivela invece poeta di acuminata ironia, il primo a considerare temi tabù per l'epoca – decadimento fisico della vecchiaia, avversione per la banalità borghese, contrasto tra eros e matrimonio. Con occhi addestrati alle visioni – Donne, Marvell, Webster, Milton – quella di Rupert Brooke è una poesia molto più moderna della sua fama, che va scoperta e restituita al suo vero orizzonte: la meraviglia della linea inglese, da Shakespeare a Auden.Rupert Brooke, nato a Rugby nel 1887 è l'astro della sua generazione: brillante sportivo, studioso che concorre alla riscoperta di Donne, Webster e gli elisabettiani, i cui saggi lo rendono Fellow del King's College a Cambridge. Personalità affascinante, sognatore che scrive versi in giardino e vegetariano ante litteram, attrae a Grantchester, il villaggio fuori Cambridge dove vive, amici e artisti: Virginia Woolf, Forster, Lytton Strachey, Maynard Keynes, Duncan Grant e altri. Ammirato da Pound e Henry James, Eliot e Fitzgerald, è il poeta della transience, la bellezza che presto svanisce, l'amico generoso che lascia la propria eredità letteraria ai poeti Gibson, Abercrombie e de la Mare, perché possano scrivere senza assilli pratici. Oltre i “sonetti di guerra” che gli danno fama di war poet quasi suo malgrado, Rupert Brooke pubblica in vita una sola raccolta, Poems 1911, che rivela agli inglesi un Marvell minore e una poesia colma d'ironia, levità ed eccezionale maestria tecnica. La seconda raccolta, Poems 1914, esce postuma: il poeta muore infatti andando ai Dardanelli nell'aprile 1915, ed è sepolto a Sciro nell'Egeo dai compagni soldati destinati a morire poco dopo di lui. IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

It's the conclusion to "The Jolly Corner"! Spencer Brydon lived in Europe for 33 years (as did his creator, Henry James) before returning to his childhood home in New York City. Europe has changed him - and he can't help thinking, as he observes a highly transformed New York, that he'd have been a very different person had he stayed in America during those crucial decades at the end of the nineteenth century. He finds himself roaming his old deserted house on "the jolly corner" late at night, hunting for the phantom of the self that might-have-been, until he finally sees something that shocks him into unconsciousness. In this episode, Jacke presents the rousing conclusion to this fascinating story of nostalgia, regrets, wonder, selfhood, friendship, and terror. PLUS Irish novelist and essayist Colm Tóibín (The Master, On James Baldwin) stops by to discuss his selection for the last book he will ever read. Enjoy!

After spending decades in Europe, the American Henry James felt haunted by the idea that he'd given up something essential. Inspired by a trip home to New York City, the place of his birth, he wrote an astonishing story about a man who creeps through his childhood home late at night, searching for ghosts, and one in particular he's desperate to see: the American version of himself that didn't ever get a chance to live. In this episode, Jacke reads and analyzes the middle of Henry James's "The Jolly Corner."

Tonight's reading comes from The Portrait of a Lady. Written by Henry James and published in 1881, this story follows a young American woman who travels to Europe. My name is Teddy and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest. Sleep is so important and my mission is to help you get the rest you need. The podcast is designed to play in the background while you slowly fall asleep.For those new to the podcast, it started from my own struggles with sleep. I wanted to create a resource for others facing similar challenges, and I'm so grateful for the amazing community we've built together.

Although the writer Henry James (1843-1916) was born in New York City's Washington Square, he spent most of his adulthood in Europe, where he wrote such masterpieces as The Portrait of a Lady, The Wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowl. Late in life, he returned to New York after a thirty-three year absence to find the city much transformed, as skyscrapers and grand public buildings - museums and libraries and opera houses - now dominated the scene. In this episode, Jacke reads and comments upon the opening of James's 1908 story "The Jolly Corner," in which a man revisits his childhood home in New York after a thirty-three year absence and finds himself chasing memories, ghosts, and other figments of his imagination.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 15, 2025 is: livid • LIV-id • adjective Livid means "very angry, enraged, or furious." It may also describe things having a dark purplish or reddish color. // The teen's parents were livid when they discovered she had lied about her whereabouts. // He had a livid bruise on his right arm. See the entry > Examples: "Activists and vulnerable nations were understandably livid at the failure to garner stronger commitments on the reduction of fossil fuel use, noting that ... fossil fuels are barely referenced despite being the primary driver of global emissions." — David Carlin, Forbes, 26 Nov. 2024 Did you know? Livid has a colorful history. The Latin adjective livēre, "to be blue," gave rise to Latin lividus, meaning "discolored by bruising." French adopted the word along with its meaning as livide, which English borrowed in the 15th century as livid. For a few centuries the English word described bruised flesh as well as a shade of dark gray and other colors having a dark grayish tone. By the 18th century people were livid, first by being pale with extreme emotion ("a pale, lean, livid face" —Henry James), and then by being reddish with the same ("His face glared with a livid red." —James Francis Barrett). By the late 19th century a livid person could also be furiously angry, which is the word's typical application today.

Josh and Drusilla discuss Jack Clayton's gothic masterpiece, The Innocents (1961). From wiki: “The Innocents is a British-American 1961 gothic psychological horror film directed and produced by Jack Clayton, and starring Deborah Kerr, Michael Redgrave, and Megs Jenkins. Based on the 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw by the American novelist Henry James, the screenplay was adapted by William Archibald and Truman Capote, who used Archibald's own 1950 stage play—also titled The Innocents—as a primary source text. Its plot follows a governess who watches over two children and comes to fear that their large estate is haunted by ghosts and that the children are being possessed.”Also discussed: killer kids, The Palm Beach Story, Midnight (1939), A Small Back Room, The Lost Weekend, and other alcoholic movies.

Can be haunted by your unlived life? Henry James, master of psychological fiction, invites us into the labyrinth of the human mind with his haunting tale, "The Jolly Corner." Spencer Brydon, returning to his childhood home after decades abroad, becomes ensnared in a web of regret and possibility. As he prowls the empty rooms, James's acute psychological insights illuminate the shadows of Brydon's consciousness. The line between reality and imagination blurs, leading to a chilling confrontation with the specter of an unlived life. This is no mere ghost story, but a profound exploration of identity, choice, and the paths not taken.

Though not yet the Dantesque hells that they are today, airports in 1954 were already places of union, separation, and general existential anxiety. This meditation comes from a serious and sphinx-like Winters at the height of his poetic development–though not yet at his own “terminal,” here he is a man who already has plenty to look back on. Happy reading.(Arthur) Yvor Winters was born in Chicago on October 17, 1900. While studying at the University of Chicago he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and decided to relocate to Santa Fe, New Mexico, for the sake of his health. His early poems, published in 1921 and 1922, were all written at a tuberculosis sanitarium. He enrolled at the University of Colorado in 1925, where he earned his bachelor's and master's degrees. In 1926, he married the poet and novelist Janet Lewis. He spent two years teaching at the University of Idaho in Moscow before entering Stanford University as a graduate student, receiving his PhD in 1934. From 1928 until his death, he was a member of Stanford's English department.Winters's books of poetry include The Early Poems of Yvor Winters, 1920–1928(Swallow Press, 1966); Collected Poems (1952; revised edition, 1960), winner of the Bollingen Prize; Poems (Gyroscope Press, 1940); Before Disaster (Tryon Pamphlets, 1934); The Proof (Coward-McCann, Inc., 1930); and The Immobile Wind (M. Wheeler, 1921). In Defense of Reason (Swallow Press, 1947), Winters's major critical work, is a collection of three earlier studies: The Anatomy of Nonsense (New Directions, 1943); Maule's Curse (New Directions, 1938); and Primitivism and Decadence (Arrow Editions, 1937).Winters was also a prolific and controversial critic who believed that a work of art should be “an act of moral judgement” and attacked such literary icons as T. S. Eliot and Henry James. The chair of the Stanford English department notoriously denounced Winters as a “disgrace to the department.”Winters's honors include a National Institute of Arts and Letters award as well as grants from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. He died on January 25, 1968, in Palo Alto, California.-bio via Academy of American Poets This is a public episode.

Chapter 1 What's Washington Square by Henry James"Washington Square" is a novel by Henry James, first published in 1880. It tells the story of Catherine Sloper, a wealthy but socially awkward young woman living in New York City during the 19th century. The narrative explores her relationship with her domineering father, Dr. Austin Sloper, who disapproves of her suitor, Morris Townsend, seeing him as a fortune hunter. The novel delves into themes of love, loss, and the constraints of society. Catherine's struggle for autonomy, compounded by her father's skepticism and her own insecurities, positions the novel as a study of character and moral complexity. James' nuanced prose captures the subtleties of personal relationships against the backdrop of New York's upper-class society, making it a compelling exploration of social norms and individual desires.Chapter 2 Washington Square by Henry James Summary"Washington Square" is a novel by Henry James, first published in 1880. The story is set in New York City during the early 19th century and revolves around the life of Catherine Sloper, a young woman living in a wealthy but emotionally cold household.Catherine is the daughter of Dr. Austin Sloper, a well-respected but stern physician, and his deceased wife, who was a glamorous socialite. Catherine is described as plain and socially awkward, in stark contrast to the vibrant world that her mother once inhabited. Following her mother's death, Dr. Sloper becomes increasingly critical and dismissive of Catherine, believing that she lacks the charm and capabilities to attract a suitable husband.As the story unfolds, Catherine meets and falls in love with Morris Townsend, a charming and attractive young man who appears to be drawn to her wealth rather than her personality. Despite her father's disapproval of Morris—whom he considers a gold digger—Catherine is determined to pursue the romance. Dr. Sloper tries to dissuade Catherine from the relationship, but she is resolute in her feelings.The novel explores themes of love, money, familial obligation, and social class. It showcases James's keen observation of social dynamics and the complexities of human relationships, particularly through Catherine's struggles with her father and her own emotions. As the plot progresses, Morris's true intentions become dubious, and his reluctance to commit to Catherine as her fortune comes into question. This leads to a push-and-pull dynamic between love and financial security. Ultimately, Dr. Sloper's stern, oppressive nature clashes with Catherine's desire for independence and happiness.The novel concludes ambiguously, with Catherine's decision to stand firm in her beliefs, leaving the reader to ponder her future and the sacrifices she has made for love and self-identity. "Washington Square" is often regarded as a profound character study, examining the intersections of romance, ambition, and the constraints imposed by society and family.Chapter 3 Washington Square AuthorHenry James, an American-British author, is well-known for his psychological realism and intricate narratives that explore the consciousness of his characters.

For better or worse, Bertrand Bonello's The Beast is one of the most memorable movies of 2024. A discombobulating sci-fi trip through time that stars Lea Seydoux and George Mackay, it explodes the kernel of loneliness at the center of Henry James' 1903 novella - The Beast in the Jungle - into something much more...perplexing.

Along with their acclaimed novels and short works of fiction, Henry James and Edith Wharton both extensively explored the genre of the ghost story, enormously popular throughout much of the 19th century. In nearly all of their ghostly tales, James and Wharton explore the inner depths of the human psyche and the all-too-human emotions of fear, abandonment, passion and loss. Carl is joined by returning guest Dr. Emily Orlando, author and professor of English at Fairfield University, for an in-depth look at examples of the ghost story from both Henry James and Edith Wharton. Carl and Emily delve into James'  techniques of horror and suspense in his masterpiece "The Turn of the Screw" and how Wharton explored the ambiguities and challenges of marriage and abandonment in several of her stories including "The Lady's Maid's Bell", "Afterward", "Pomegranate Seed" and perhaps her own masterpiece -- "All Souls". Orlando was also featured in the Gilded Gentleman episode -- Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence 

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936) was an English journalist, novelist, poet, and short-story writer. He was born in British India, which inspired much of his work.Kipling's works of fiction include the Jungle Book duology (The Jungle Book, 1894; The Second Jungle Book, 1895), Kim (1901), the Just So Stories (1902) and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888). His poems include "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" (1919), and "If—" (1910). He is seen as an innovator in the art of the short story. His children's books are classics; one critic noted "a versatile and luminous narrative gift".Kipling in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was among the United Kingdom's most popular writers. Henry James said "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius, as distinct from fine intelligence, that I have ever known." In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, as the first English-language writer to receive the prize, and at 41, its youngest recipient to date. He was also sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and several times for a knighthood, but declined both. Following his death in 1936, his ashes were interred at Poets' Corner, part of the South Transept of Westminster Abbey.-bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe
