CONTENT WARNING: Byron's poetry contains lots of Orientalist language. He may have experienced and perpetrated sexual abuse and we discuss that all in this episode. We read "Mazeppa" by Lord Byron, along with some of his other poetry, and discussed him and the young and foolish second generation of English Romantic poets. We're all extremely on-brand in this episode. Linnea is obsessed with the Romantics' obsession with incest. Manik is obsessed with Germans. Jessica has a novel idea, and Reidan discovers the genesis of horse-girls.Mentioned in this episode:* How Byron invented the wild horse trope: https://lithub.com/how-lord-byron-invented-the-wild-horse/ * Spoken word Mazeppa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Jc4-vjjcE * Cats in black https://i.pinimg.com/originals/46/69/26/4669262769189837a77de36fc26d1ea8.jpg * Lizst's "Mazeppa"* Young Romantics by Daisy Hay*The Shadow of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón* Greta Gerwig's Little Women* Persuasion by Jane Austen* Puskin's "Poltava" and Eugene Onegin
