Eighteenth century prison break artist and folk hero Jack Sheppard is among history's most frequently adapted rogues: his exploits have inspired Daniel Defoe, John Gay, Bertolt Brecht, and most recently, Jordy Rosenberg, whose first novel, Confessions of the Fox (2018), rewrites Sheppard as a trans man and Sheppard's partner Bess as a South Asian lascar and part of the resistance movement in the Fens. Rosenberg embeds the manuscript tracing their love story within a satirical frame narrative of a professor whose discovery of it gets him caught up in an absurd and increasingly alarming tussle with neoliberal academic bureaucracy and corporate malfeasance. Jordy is joined here by Annie McClanahan, a scholar of contemporary literature and culture who describes herself as an unruly interloper in the 18th century. Like Jordy's novel, their conversation limns the 18th and 21st centuries, taking up 18th century historical concerns and the messy early history of the novel alongside other textual and vernacular forms, but also inviting us to rethink resistance and utopian possibility today through the lens of this earlier moment. Jordy and Annie leapfrog across centuries, reading the 17th century ballad “The Powtes Complaint” in relation to extractivism and environmental justice, theorizing the “riotous, anarchic, queer language of the dispossessed” that characterizes Confessions of the Fox as a kind of historically informed cognitive estrangement for the present, and considering the work theory does (and does not) do in literary works and in academic institutions.

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://n9.cl/p5lhm Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot Being the Prologue to the Satires By Alexander Pope Read by Denis Daly John Arbuthnot (1675-1735) was an eminent physician, scholar, satirist, and an intimate friend of Pope, John Gay, and Jonathan Swift. "He has more wit than we all have," said Swift; "and more humanity than wit." This very clever and highly-polished epistle to Dr Arbuthnot (also entitled the "Prologue to the Satires"), who was suffering from terminal illness, dates from 1734. Arbuthnot, from his deathbed, solemnly advised Pope to moderate his satire and expressed fear about the poet's personal safety from his numerous foes. Pope replied in a manly but self-defensive style. He is said at this time to have in his walks carried arms, and taken a large dog as a protector, but none of the purported enemies ever had the courage to attack him. The poem takes the form of a dialogue in which Pope vents at length about being publicly misrepresented and also taken advantage of by publishers and critics and Arbuthnot provides occasional rejoinders urging caution and moderation.
Jonathan Swift's enduring satire Gulliver's Travels was first published on October 28, 1726 - though the true identity of the book's author was concealed from readers. A spoof of Daniel Defoe's popular Robinson Crusoe, the novel bleakly satirised British society, colonialism, and the monarchy, shocking as many readers as it entertained. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal the tale's rebellious origins in Swift's social oeuvre; consider why children still relate to (abridged versions of) this highly specific political satire; and explain why Swift's creation lead directly to Yahoo! Mail… Further Reading: • ‘Why Jonathan Swift wanted to ‘vex the world' with Gulliver's Travels' (The Conversation): https://theconversation.com/why-jonathan-swift-wanted-to-vex-the-world-with-gullivers-travels-94972 • 'Letter to Jonathan Swift' (John Gay, 1726): https://walleahpress.com.au/communion8-John-Gay.html • ‘Gulliver's Travels' (Paramount, 1939): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rehNT9wIjUg Love the show?

In The Beggar's Opera we enter a society turned upside down, where private vices are seen as public virtues, and the best way to survive is to assume the worst of everyone. The only force that can subvert this state of affairs is romantic love – an affection, we discover, that satire finds hard to cope with. John Gay's 1727 smash hit ‘opera', which ran for 62 performances in its first run, put the highwaymen, criminal gangs and politicians of the day up on stage, and offered audiences a tuneful but unnerving reflection of their own corruption and mortality. Clare and Colin discuss how this satire on the age of Walpole came about, what it did for its struggling author, and why it's an infinitely elusive, strangely modernist work.This is an extract from the episode.

Reciban un cordial saludo. Desde Cali (Colombia), les habla Sergio Luis López, compartiéndoles un nuevo episodio de "Así la escuché yo..." Una de las canciones más representativas del género Salsa y de la carrera artística del cantautor panameño Rubén Blades es sin duda alguna “Pedro Navaja”, la cual se publicó inicialmente en el emblemático álbum “Siembra” de 1978, grabado por la exitosa dupla que Blades conformó junto a Willie Colón. Así la escuché yo… En un acto de total transparencia, el propio Rubén Blades ha contado en diferentes oportunidades que su inspiración para “Pedro Navaja” proviene de otra famosa canción. La canción en mención se titula "Mack The Knife" (Mack “El Cuchillo”), la cual ha sido grabada en idioma inglés por diversos artistas. A nivel mundial, la popularidad de la canción “Mack The Knife” se debe al célebre trompetista estadounidense Louis Armstrong, quien grabó una versión en 1955 con letra adaptada al inglés por Marc Blitzstein. Cuatro años después (en 1959), el español José Guardiola publicó una versión libre al castellano titulada “Mackie El Navaja”. En 1998, el también español, Miguel Ríos, lanzó otra versión al castellano de “Mackie El Navaja”, aunque con diferente letra, la cual se acerca más a la canción original alemana. Las anteriores versiones están basadas en la canción “Die Moritat von Mackie Messer” (La balada de Mackie El Cuchillo), escrita originalmente en alemán por el reconocido dramaturgo y poeta Bertolt Brecht, con música de su compatriota Kurt Weill, quienes la compusieron para la famosa “Ópera de los tres centavos”, interpretada inicialmente por Harald Paulsen en 1929. Como dato curioso, hay que decir que la “Ópera de los tres centavos” es una adaptación al alemán de la obra “The Beggar's Opera” (Ópera del mendigo) del inglés John Gay. También hay que decir que la canción “Mack The Knife” no hace parte de la ópera original inglesa, sino que fue compuesta por Brecht y Weill especialmente para la alemana “Ópera de los tres centavos”. No podemos terminar sin aplaudir el talento creador del gran Rubén Blades, quien se inspiró en una canción para componer otra en un contexto musical y social totalmente diferente; regalándonos de esta manera, una de las clásicas de la música popular bailable latinoamericana. ¿Y tú, qué opinas de este episodio?

Synopsis On today's date in 1928, Kurt Weill's “Three Penny Opera,” whose cast members portrayed thieves, murderers, and sex workers, debuted at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin. “The Three-Penny Opera” was a 20th century updating of a satirical 18th century British ballad-opera by John Gay, titled “The Beggar's Opera.” A new German text was provided by playwright Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill provided a jazzy score. “The Three Penny Opera” was a smash success in Berlin, and within a year was taken up by theaters all over Europe. But in 1933, when the Nazis came to power in Germany, all performances of “The Three Penny Opera” were banned, since Kurt Weill was Jewish, and Bertolt Brecht a communist sympathizer. Just as “The Three Penny Opera” was being banned in Germany, its 1933 American premiere in New York was a flop, and the show closed after only a dozen performances. It wasn't until 1952 that it was successfully revived in America. With a new English translation by the American composer Marc Bliztstein, the “Three Penny Opera” was reintroduced by Leonard Bernstein at a Music Festival at Brandeis University, and in 1954 reopened off -roadway in Greenwich Village to sold-out houses and rave reviews.
