Författarna Christoffer Carlsson och Lina Wolff gästar Lundströms Bokradio för att bokcirkla om klassikern Middlemarch av George Eliot som nu kommer i en ny svensk översättning. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Den viktorianska romanen Middlemarch har utsetts till den bästa romanen på engelska någonsin. Virginia Woolf kallade den på sin tid, i ett berömt citat, ”en av de få romanerna på engelska skrivna för vuxna”. Författaren heter George Eliot, som är en pseudonym för Mary Anne Evans. Född 1819 i en engelsk småstad, bosatte sig i London 1850, där hon blev självförsörjande. Hon levde med en filosof och kritiker som redan hade fru och barn. I samtiden var hon en mycket läst författare, hennes böcker sålde och hon jämfördes med Charles Dickens. Trots framgångarna behöll hon sin pseudonym. Romanen Middlemarch publicerades i åtta delar åren 1871 och 1872.Tillsammans med författarna Christoffer Carlsson och Lina Wolff dyker vi ner i denna kända klassiker.

Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Anne Evans, later Marian Evans. It is her seventh novel, begun in 1869 and then put aside during the final illness of Thornton Lewes, the son of her companion George Henry Lewes. During the following year Eliot resumed work, fusing together several stories into a coherent whole, and during 1871–72 the novel appeared in serial form. The first one-volume edition was published in 1874, and attracted large sales. Subtitled "A Study of Provincial Life," the novel is set in the fictitious Midlands town of Middlemarch during the period 1830–32. It has multiple plots with a large cast of characters, and in addition to its distinct though interlocking narratives it pursues a number of underlying themes, including the nature of marriage, idealism and self-interest, religion and hypocrisy, political reform, and education. The pace is leisurely, the tone is mildly didactic (with an authorial voice that occasionally bursts through the narrative), and the canvas is very broad.

Sally takes time off from trying to unblock her sink to conduct a creative writing lesson with her student, Evelyn. They discuss a single sentence in a short story written by Katherine Mansfield, the modernist writer who died 100 years ago this month. After Evelyn leaves, Sally settles down to read Mansfield's diaries, immersing herself in her scribblings both funny and profound.   Further Reading: Katherine Mansfield was a writer, essayist and journalist who primarily wrote short stories and poems which explored existential anxiety and issues of sexuality and class. She was born in New Zealand in 1888, travelling to Britain aged 19 with the initial intention of becoming a professional musician. She became a well-known figure in bohemian London, befriending members of the Bloomsbury Group, publishing short stories in literary magazines and hanging around with writers such as DH Lawrence. She became a close friend and rival of Virgina Woolf; Woolf said of her, “I was jealous of her writing. The only writing I have ever been jealous of.” Some critics consider Mansfield to have been a major influence on Woolf's work. Like Woolf, Mansfield suffered from ill-health. She was left devastated by the death of her brother Leslie Beauchamp in France in 1915, killed by a faulty hand grenade.  She wrote in her diary: “Yes, though he is lying in the middle of a little wood in France and I am still walking upright, and feeling the sun and the wind from the sea, I am just as much dead as he is”. She died aged 34 of pulmonary tuberculosis, with much of her work unpublished. Two volumes of her short stories (The Dove's Nest in 1923, and Something Childish in 1924); a volume of poems; The Aloe; Novels and Novelists; and collections of her letters and journals were all published posthumously. The story Sally and Evelyn discuss, The Garden Party, was published in 1922. Jacob's Room is a novel published by Virginia Woolf in 1922, the same year Mansfield published The Garden Party and the year before Mansfield's death. It tells the story of Jacob who, like Woolf's brother-in-law and Katherine Mansfield's brother, was killed in the First World War. In a radically experimental form, Jacob's story is told almost entirely through the recollections of those who knew him. Jacob keeps an old sheep skull in his room, a classic memento mori symbol. Middlemarch, A Study of Provincial Life, is one of the most famous novels in the English language. Published in instalments in 1871 and 1872, it was written by Mary Anne Evans under the pseudonym George Eliot. Although Virginia Woolf described it as "the magnificent book that, which with all its imperfections, is one of the few English novels written for grown-up people”, she was one of its few fans at the time; the novel was little read and was underappreciated until at least the middle of the 20th century. The book follows the stories of a vast canvas of characters in a town and surrounding villages, with at least four main plots and many other narrative strands, which intertwine to create a complex whole, which often confounds the reader's first reactions. The American fiction writer Michael Gorra has written of Middlemarch: “If you really read this novel, you will learn about yourself; if you listen to her, if you let her sentences penetrate, you will find out things about yourself that you didn't and maybe don't even want to know. Each page is a lesson in how to be honest with yourself.” The producer of the podcast is Andrew Smith: https://www.fleetingyearfilms.com The extra voice in this episode is Emma Fielding.

¡No es un audiolibro! Si hablamos de Mary Anne Evans, seguramente, a más de uno le cueste localizarla en el panorama literario. Bien distinto resulta si el nombre que mencionamos es el pseudónimo con el que el firmó sus novelas, poesía y ensayos: George Eliot. Esta escritora talentosa, referente para autores posteriores como Virginia Woolf, es una de las narradoras más portentosas del siglo XIX inglés. En este nuevo programa temático de La Milana Bonita recuperamos su legado con un análisis (minúsculo si lo comparamos con la cantidad de temas que podríamos haber tratado) de Middlemarch. Middlemarch es una ciudad literaria (creada por la autora) de provincias que da título a esta impresionante narración. En este espacio y en una época de enormes cambios (pensemos que estamos en pleno desarrollo del ferrocarril, la Revolución Industrial y que en el 1832 se aprobaría de Ley de Reforma) transcurre el relato de las vidas de una serie de personajes fascinantes: Dorothea Brooke (punto de partida y final de la historia), Lydgate, Edward Casaubon, Arthur Brooke, Rosamond, Ladislaw y un largo etcétera. Se trata de una novela coral en donde las aspiraciones de todos estos personajes, unido a su idealismo, les obligan a enfrentarse a fracasos de muy diversa índole. Nadie triunfa. Todos los personajes, de alguna manera, deben enfrentarse a sus limitaciones y, en este sentido, en una sociedad donde impera el “Just do it”, consideramos que es una novela de una vigencia abrumadora. Únete a nosotros en esta lectura y disfruta con la gran narradora escondida bajo el pseudónimo. Merece la pena pararse a disfrutar de esta. Además, tenemos la suerte de que nos acompaña en este programa la directora de comunicación del sello Seix Barral: Anna Portabella. Como ven, un programa repleto de contenidos para gozar durante casi dos horas, simplemente, con la literatura. ¡La revolución ha comenzado!

As novelist John Connolly publishes a prequel to his hugely successful Charlie Parker thriller series, he and critic Suzi Feay discuss the art of creating a prequel, both in books and on screen, from Endeavour to Hannibal Rising to The Wide Sargasso Sea. From the Minack Theatre, nestled in the cliffs of west Cornwall, to Cirencester’s Barnfest, and Brighton Open Air Theatre, many theatre-goers have turned to the great outdoors as indoor theatres remain shuttered due to Covid-19 restrictions. The Maltings Theatre in St Albans has just kicked off its 6th annual outdoor festival, set in a Roman Theatre built in 140AD, with a programme that includes The Merry Wives of Windsor, Henry V and HMS Pinafore. Its Artistic Director, Adam Nichols, joins John Wilson to discuss the joys, challenges and opportunities of outdoor theatre. Around the UK, the pandemic has caused arts venues, organisations and establishments to have to make dramatic cuts to their output and costs just to stay afloat. With no definite end in sight when they can start generating income again, redundancies seem inevitable. Plus Suzi Feay comments on the publication of 25 books by female authors who will be known, for the first time, by their real names. All of them are women who wrote under male pen-names - including George Eliot, whose Middlemarch will now be republished with the name Mary Anne Evans on the cover.

ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Från januari 2017. Pheidíou eimí eller Jag tillhör Fidias. Så står det skrivet i botten på en kanna i bränd lera, som hittats vid utgrävningar i grekiska Olympia. Just den här sortens kärl kallades under antiken oinochoe och användes för vin. Den är sprucken och ser inte ut som något särskilt den typ av kantstötta föremål som det går tretton på dussinet av i arkeologiska museer runt hela Medelhavet. För tvåtusen femhundra år sedan stod den, fylld med vin, på bordet i en stenhuggarverkstad. Redan då fick den förmodligen sitt första nagg i kanten, kanske omkullvält under en festmiddag. Säkert hade det grumliga vinet redan då lämnat intorkade spår i glasyren på insidan, utan att ägaren brytt sig om att torka bort dem. Sin anspråkslöshet till trots, bär kannan på en svindlande dimension. Den har tillhört Fidias, den grekiska antikens mest berömda konstnär. För atenarna högg han den tolv meter höga Atenaskulptur som en gång stod i Parthenon, Akropolisklippans största tempel. Därtill den numer omstridda Parthenonfrisen, som också prydde templet men under 1800-talet togs till Storbritannien och små småningom hamnade på British museum i London, där den finns än idag. Fidias låg också bakom ett av antikens sju underverk: den tretton meter höga gudabilden i elfenben och guld i Zeustemplet i Olympia. När arkeologer på 1950-talet stötte på den där vinkannan just i Olympia, var det en triumf: inskriptionen jag tillhör Fidias bekräftade att någon som hette så faktiskt hade funnits. Han var inte bara en konsthistorisk legend, ett påhittat namn som dröjt sig kvar genom millenierna utan en man av kött och blod som levt på mitten av 400-talet före vår tideräkning. Dessutom: just där kannan grävdes fram, i en enkel byggnad intill Zeustemplet, fann man också gjutformar för fasaddekorationer och påbörjade småskulpturer. Detta var Fidias ateljé. Kannan finns att se på museet i Olympia. Det är kanske löjligt, men jag kan börja gråta när jag står framför ett meddelande som det i botten på den där vinkannan. I bokstävernas snabbt dragna linjer, i fingrarnas spår och handens avtryck imploderar årtusendena. Keramikern, som snabbt skrev i den mjuka leran, känns mycket närvarande. För att inte tala om Fidias skulptören, vars namn och konst jag känner till, har varje kväll slutit handen om den där kannan tills den blivit sprucken och nött. Inför sådana där små mänskliga spår öppnas dörr mot historien på ett sätt som inte ens Parthenon förmår överträffa. Inte bara jag går igång på sådana där saker. Det gör också brittiska Kathryn Hughes, som är litteraturkritiker och akademiker med den viktorianska eran som specialitet. I Victorians Undone. Tales of Flesh in the Age of Decorum närmar hon sig allt det där lite simpelt vardagsnära, som gör att sedan länge döda 1800-talsmänniskor plötsligt känns mycket levande. Charles Darwin, till exempel. I boken finns ett foto på hans skägg, eller rättare sagt, en tuss av det. Det ställdes ut på Natural History Museum i London 2008, efter att en släkting hittat tussen i ett gammalt kuvert. Darwin brukade rycka strån ur skägget medan han satt i djupa tankar över sina anteckningar. Morgonen efter hans död samlade dottern därför in de hårstrån som då låg spridda över alla papper och uppslagna böcker på hans skrivbord, och sparade tussen till eftervärlden. Det är äckligt på ett fascinerande vis. Men vem visste, att det där karaktäristiska skägget, som vi så självklart förknippar med Charles Darwin, i själva verket var anlagt för att skymma den store vetenskapsmannens ansikte? Det visar sig, att författaren till Om arternas uppkomst var en osedvanligt blyg viktorian med svajigt självförtroende. Helskägg blev för honom den perfekta maskeringen, trots att det var helt omodernt när han hoppade på trenden. De flesta andra män hade mutton chops, det vill säga lammkotletter, som kortklippta men breda polisonger kallades. Picadilly Weepers var också populärt: ett slags utkammat långhårigt kindflax som inte såg riktigt klokt ut. För att inte tala om the Newgate Frill, eller hakremmen, som blev populär under det tidiga 1850-talet: skägg som växer ganska fritt strax under käklinjen och på halsen, med en ofrivilligt komisk effekt som Kathryn Hughes liknar vid en uppochnedvänd gloria. En av Darwins bästa vänner syntes med en sådan. Själv lät han skägget växa fritt, så till den milda grad att ingen vid den lördagssoaré som Royal Society höll i april 1866 kände igenom honom förrän lagom till kaffet. Vilket han, om man ska tro Kathryn Hughes, säkert bara var lättad över. Hennes grepp syftar att visa hur viktorianerna i konflikt med den etablerade historiska bilden egentligen inte alls var pryda och eteriska utan tvärtom fullständigt fixerade vid världsliga, kroppsliga ting. Som författaren George Elliots högerhand, till exempel. Enligt ett elakt rykte, som spreds redan medan hon levde, var den groteskt stor eftersom hon som ung arbetat hårt i familjens ysteri och utvecklat abnorm muskelmassa. Som motbevis för Kathryn Hughes fram en vit skinnhandske som tillhört författaren, och som på ett mirakulöst sätt dykt upp långt efter hennes död. Den är i näst minsta handskstorleken: bara 6,5. Det är egentligen inte svårt att i tanken föreställa sig vilka hinder en yrkesverksam och samhällsengagerad kvinna som George Elliot, eller Mary Anne Evans som egentligen hette, måste stött på i ett London där kvinnor ännu förvägrades rösträtt och inte var fullvärdiga medborgare. Ändå: ett världsligt ting som en handske gör alla de kval och kompromisser hon måste gjort så mycket mer konkret påtagliga. Hon, som använde ett mansnamn som pseudonym, hade alltså pyttesmå händer och bar vita handskar med pärlformade knappar och snirklig kant vid handleden. Journalist, intellektuell och författare, fri i anden men på jorden fastlåst i det viktorianska samhällets könsbundna föreställningar om hur kvinnor bör klä sig oavsett om de kallade sig George i förnamn. Historien, tror jag, består av både strukturer och individer. För nog blir alla paradigmskiften och tolkningsmodeller inte bara mer begripliga utan också mer betydelsefulla i det ögonblick vi inser att bakom dem stod helt vanliga människor. Precis som vi drack de vin ur spruckna krus, namnade sina ägodelar, var blyga och i otakt med de senaste polisongtrenderna och kämpade för att kunna vara både kvinna och intellektuell.  Då och då, kan man väl anta, blev de förmodligen också undone det vill säga, inte bara på det viset som Kathryn Hughes titel Victorians Undone i första hand leder tankarna till: att bli avklädd och granskad under sitt snygga skal utan också i betydelsen utom sig själv, oredig och vilse i tillvaron precis som vi.

‘She was a woman ahead of her time, she pushed every boundary.’ For this week’s Open County, Helen Mark heads to the Warwickshire landscape of Nuneaton where she walks in the footsteps of one of Britain’s greatest authors and through the locals who are celebrating her legacy today, Helen comes face to face with the woman herself – 200 years after her birth. Mary Anne Evans (22 November 1819 – 22 December 1880) is best known by her pen name George Eliot. An English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era, her novels reflected the landscape and the lives of those she lived amongst. 200 years on from her birth we meet the community that continue to celebrate her life today and the shifting landscape that still holds traces of Mary Anne’s rural beginnings. Presented by Helen Mark Readings by Eleanor Charman from Sudden Impulse Theatre Produced by Nicola Humphries

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss what Virginia Woolf called 'one of the few English novels written for grown-up people'. It was written by George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Anne Evans (1819-80), published in 8 parts in 1871-72, and was originally two separate stories which became woven together. One, 'Middlemarch', focused on a doctor, Tertius Lydgate and the other, 'Miss Brooke', on Dorothea Brooke who became the central figure in the finished work. The events are set in a small town in the Midlands, surrounded by farmland, leading up to the Reform Act 1832, and the novel explores the potential to change in matters of religion, social status, marriage and politics, and is particularly concerned with the opportunities available to women to lead fulfilling lives. The image above shows Rufus Sewell and Juliet Aubrey in the BBC adaptation, from 1994 With Rosemary Ashton Emeritus Quain Professor of English Language and Literature at University College London Kathryn Hughes Professor of Life Writing at the University of East Anglia And John Bowen Professor of Nineteenth-Century Literature at the University of York Producer: Simon Tillotson.

Mary Anne Evans, aka Marian, or better yet George Eliot, was a Victorian Era novelist, poet, journalist, and translator, known best for her seven novels including her masterpiece, entitled Middlemarch. Now, for the podcast, I am not going to be referring to Marian as George Eliot because she really only went by George Eliot on paper, so I’ll do my best to establish that early and avoid confusion. After a week of research, I am obsessed with this woman for so many reasons, every one of which I will get to within our allotted timeframe covering Marian’s life, and just to really get you hooked for this week, you should know that she was a true pioneer for female writers. Not only did she write novels that portrayed the multifaceted nature of real life in provincial England, but also threw convention out the door when it came to love no matter how many dinner parties she was shunned from. Her life was a proverbial middle finger to the tight collars of the day, and from an early age she lived her life the way she saw fit, not how others thought it ought to be. Her pen name was adopted for the sole reason of wanting her work to be judged on equal footing with ALL writers, not just her female contemporaries, who already were finding their writing marginalized into a 19th century chick lit genre. There is a reason why the name George Eliot is still as resonating of a force amongst the literary community as it was one hundred and fifty years ago, and that is because Marian was an absurdly gifted, honest, and intriguing author. So let’s just get right into it.

This week, Rebecca and Lindsay explore two women writers of yore: English novelist Mary Anne Evans aka George Eliot who adopted a male pen name in hopes of being taken more seriously and poet Phillis Wheatley who was brought to the States as a slave, but carved a path to freedom with her sharp mind and poetry. 

Craig returns this week for a talk about George Eliot (pen name for Mary Anne Evans) and her novel Silas Marner, which starts out as a bummer but gradually becomes an uplifting little story. We also talk about Craig’s vacation and the Baldwin brothers, among other things. This week’s episode is brought to you by Squarespace.
