Some of his most famous novels include "Far from the Madding Crowd" (1874), "The Mayor of Casterbridge" (1886), "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" (1891), and "Jude the Obscure" (1895). These works often challenged the moral conventions of the time and faced controversy for their frank discussions of sexuality and societal norms. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Additional Resources: Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy http://www.loyalbooks.com/book/tess-of-the-durbervilles

Thank you!“It all started with Miss Prim.For many years, I was convinced of a tragic lie: that novels were lesser things than non-fiction. In my youth, a novel was a school assignment to trudge through, because some conclave of intellectuals blessed it with merit. At best, the story within would relate to some "real" thing of interest. This conviction became less of one over time. And it changed completely in January when the ancient widow character in The Awakening of Miss Prim shook my depths. From there I began novel reading for pleasure; to soften all the hardness; to elevate the soul.I am not a speedy reader, but I managed 13 novels this year. I painted a little painting for each book, which I happily display here.” -Kelly CurtisFeatured books in this episode:* The Great Divorce CS Lewis* The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis* The Awakening of Miss Prim: A Novel by Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera * Little Women by Louisa May Alcott* Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery* Jane Austen's books* Echo Mountain by Lauren Wolk* Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy* The Scent of Water by Elizabeth Goudge * The Dean's Watch by Elizabeth Goudge* Skyward Novellas by Brandon Sanderson* Lord of the Rings by J.

Enthusiasms taken too far!'Far From The Madding Crowd' by Thomas Hardy is a small & simple tale of love, betrayal, anger and heartbreak. It's set in Wessex during Victorian England in the farmland countryside. The young, beautiful Bathsheba is courted by 3 suitors: mild-mannered shepherd Gabriel, distinguished farmer Boldwood and dashing sergeant Troy.I summarised the book as follows. "It's a bare bones tale that probably strays into too much simplicity. I found it hard to connect with any character other than Gabriel and even then not deeply so. It's not a great love story and is probably better suited for kids. Personally I would recommend his other famous work 'Tess Of The d'Urbervilles' rather than this one."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

Today my friend Julia Seymour joins me to continue the conversation on Far From the Madding Crowd. We discuss how our love of the story has grown with each reading, our mutual love of Gabriel Oak, and our newfound respect for Thomas Hardy's writing.

Ashley & Matt have seen the 2005 Pride & Prejudice, and the 2015 Far From the Madding Crowd, but neither remember them. What to do? Re-watch them, of course! Listen as we discuss two film adaptations of 19th century British novels in our latest episode.
I've recently re-read one of my favorite books of the last twenty years, Far From the Madding Crowd. I have to admit that I started reading it with some trepidation. Would I love it as much this time as the last? I am happy to report that I loved it as much, if not more, on this reading. Join me as I introduce part one of this sweeping, tragic romantic classic.

We rarely find a more determined fictional female character in literature from the late 19th century than Bathsheba Everdeen. Guided by a strong will and a deep-rooted desire to build her path while keeping her full independence, Bathsheba learns the hard way that love and companionship are still not that bad after all. A film full of breathtaking landscapes, a plot with unexpected twists, and a love story to remember, Far from the Madding Crowd made us think about women's leadership in an unusual time and place as well as the hard choices we sometimes get in life. ***Spoiler alert! While reviewing this film, we go through key scenes and may reveal the ending, so be warned of spoilers!***Sources and other links:Carey Mulligan on how she suggested casting Matthias Schoenaerts as Gabriel Oakhttps://youtu.be/or_CQ_iAWA8Carey Mulligan interviewhttps://youtu.be/jxgCL96ILsg Making of “Far from the madding crowd”https://youtu.be/JHhhXcxbwgwQ&A Session with Thomas Vinterberg and Matthias Schoenartshttps://youtu.be/JbJBZaK7Kio
This week on the podcast, we bring you another of our “Best of The Literary Life Podcast” episode replays. On today's episode we delve into the literary life of the mysterious Mr. Banks. Cindy begins the interview asking Thomas about his family background and the influence of his parents on his own reading life. He shares about many of the books he loved in childhood and how that shaped his tastes in literature. He also talks about how he approached school learning as opposed to his personal reading. Angelina asks Thomas to tell about how he fell in love with poetry and how he ended up going to college even though that was not his original goal. He also shares more about his reading as an adult, as well as his habit of commonplacing quotations. Commonplace Quotes: …but I was glad to sing again too; it had been a greater loss that I realized in that particular wintering which saw the waning of my voice. It wasn't about the vanity of being able to trill out a fine song; it was about the joy of singing for its own sake. Katherine May Michael explains to Adam in the last book of Milton's Paradise Lost, that tyranny exists in human society because every individual in such a society is a tyrant within himself, or at least is if he conforms acceptably to his social surroundings. Northrup Frye The Gods that are wiser than Learning But kinder than Life have made sure No mortal may boast in the morning That even will find him secure. from “A Rector's Memory” by Rudyard Kipling Time, Real and Imaginary by Samuel Taylor Coleridge On the wide level of a mountain's head, (I knew not where, but 'twas some faery place) Their pinions, ostrich-like, for sails out-spread, Two lovely children run an endless race, A sister and a brother ! This far outstripp'd the other ; Yet ever runs she with reverted face, And looks and listens for the boy behind : For he, alas! is blind! O'er rough and smooth with even step he passed, And knows not whether he be first or last.

Analysing the romance drama film Far From The Madding Crowd (2015), exploring the different suitors and their own interpretations of love in the realms of Bathsheba Everdene. We follow various stories, a heiress of a farm, an ex-farmer, the neighbour, the sergeant, all in search for some sort of peace and prosperity. Their stories tell us of the beauty and the burden of love. How conversations hold so much weight, and even in the smallest of gestures could tilt someone's cold heart. How an idea can make a new life, but the old one can tear it apart. And how someone can give you so much attention at the beginning, and yet, in the end, present their true selves that hinders your progress. It's difficult to maintain a balance when it comes to work, life and love. These ideas, these actions, these coincidences, all far from prying eyes, all far gossip, all behind closed doors. Are all far from the madding crowd.

Anthony reviews the romantic drama "Far From The Madding Crowd" spoiler-free!
In this episode Marc and Kristina begin their exploration of crowd behavior, its characteristics, the motivations that underpin it and how it became a subject of psychological interest. This episode gives an overview of some of the famous moments in crowd history (peasant's revolt, French and American revolutions, Stonewall Riots, the occupation of Alcatraz, etc.) as well as a gloss of some of the most prominent theories on crowd behavior. This will set the stage for parts 2 and 3 in this arc, which will look at one specific theory and how it works and then the application of that theory to a real life crowd situation.

Grahame. Angelina, Thomas and Cindy set out to introduce this book in its historical and literary context, as well as address a few of the challenges people may have on their first reading of The Wind in the Willows. They also discuss some other pertinent topics such as Edwardian cultural concerns, the form of this novel, the rebirth images in the opening chapters, and the echoes of this book in other literature.

Commonplace Quotes: There is no vice so simple but assumes/ Some mark of virtue on his outward parts. William Shakespeare, from The Merchant of Venice A boat will not answer to the rudder unless it is in motion. The poet can work upon us only as long as we are kept on the move. C. S. Lewis, from his Preface to Paradise Lost One does not argue about The Wind in the Willows. The young man gives it to the girl with whom he is in love, and, if she does not like it, asks her to return his letters. The older man tries it on his nephew, and alters his will accordingly. The book is a test of character. We can't criticize it, because it is criticizing us. But I must give you one word of warning. When you sit down to it, don't be so ridiculous as to suppose that you are sitting in judgement on my taste, or on the art of Kenneth Grahame. You are merely sitting in judgment on yourself. You may be worth: I don't know, but it is you who are on trial. A. A. Milne Sonnet to the River Otter by Samuel Taylor Coleridge Dear native brook! wild streamlet of the West! How many various-fated years have passed, What happy and what mournful hours, since last I skimmed the smooth thin stone along thy breast, Numbering its light leaps! Yet so deep impressed Sink the sweet scenes of childhood, that mine eyes I never shut amid the sunny ray, But straight with all their tints thy waters rise, Thy crossing plank, thy marge with willows grey, And bedded sand that, veined with various dyes, Gleamed through thy bright transparence! On my way, Visions of childhood! oft have ye beguiled Lone manhood's cares, yet waking fondest sighs: Ah! that once more I were a careless child!

Suzanne Venker is an author and marriage coach who walked onto the battlefield of the sexual holy war in 2012. She's written books, appeared on radio shows, and developed a coaching practice to bring couples closer together by helping both women AND men women extract the feminist programming embedded in our psyches. She's on the front lines in a way that I think few are, seeing the ways that feminism warps, distorts, and even shatters women's hopes for a happy family life. In our conversation we discussed: The journey she took to talking about women and men professionally The feminist mind, and if it can be deprogrammed, or better yet, when The fascinating story of how her stock brother mother helped teach her vital lessons about femininity Why she's taking a break from podcasting and writing, and what she's got planned next A discussion of sex before marriage, and when and why it should should occur, from a secular perspective Suzanne and I have a lot of fun talking. I have enormous respect for her speaking truth quietly and clearly. And I also honor her courage to be disliked.
