Where did Lord Byron and Percy Shelley come to sip coffee while they jotted down their verses? Where did Bizet and Berlioz go to discuss their work? Where could Casanova be found trying to pick up girls? Caffè Greco, where else? Having opened in 1760, Antico Caffè Greco is the oldest café in Rome and the second-oldest in all of Italy! And you can still go there and sit where Hawthorne, Ibsen, Gogol, Goethe, Canova, and many many other literary, art, and musical greats rubbed elbows and drank coffee. On this episode, we visit the famous café, grab some espresso ourselves, and discuss what it feels like to drink coffee in the same place so many brilliant thinkers over the generations did the same.   Hear this episode transformed into a bedtime story by Sleep With Me podcast's Drew Ackerman (aka Dear Scooter).   If you'd like to learn more about Literary Rome, download Tiffany's VoiceMap audio tour Rome for Readers, a self-guided walking tour that takes you past the residences of the most famous foreign writers who visited and lived in Rome.   ***Katy's sister Dana has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 agressive brain cancer.

Soft spoken ASMR reading of The Vampyre by John William Polidori, written in 1819 as part of a short story contest with Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, and Percy Shelley. A crackling fireplace and a spooky atmosphere has been added as background ambience. Listen with headphones for the best experience. The Vampyre weaves a dark and haunting narrative, introducing Lord Ruthven—a charming yet sinister vampire. The story follows Aubrey, a young Englishman who becomes entangled in Ruthven's malevolent orbit. As they travel through Europe, Aubrey uncovers Ruthven's true nature, leading to horror and tragedy. Polidori's tale is filled with gothic intrigue, the struggle between innocence and evil, and the chilling realization that Ruthven's insidious influence may be inescapable. It's a tale that drips with suspense and dread, leaving readers captivated by its eerie allure. Soft spoken ASMR is used to provide listeners with comfort to ease symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, depression, and ptsd.

In part three of our series on author Mary Shelley, we get to explore all the trials, tribulations, and moments of jubilation often used as sources of inspiration that ultimately lead to the creation of Frankenstein. There will be love, loss, and hounding creditors that force her husband, Percy Shelley, to live underground, but such is the life of a starving, rich-kid artist. We will also finally get to meet one of the most renowned poets of all time: the handsome, suave, and brilliant Lord Byron, who would also help to inspire another classic creature of the horror genre. But how did Mary Shelley ultimately come to write the classic horror novel Frankenstein, and would it have anything to do with the eruption of a devastating volcano? Tune in for part three of Mary Shelley to find out!

In part two of our series on Frankenstein author, Mary Shelley, we see the young genius enter her teenage years, and the blossoming of her relationship with the poet, Percy Shelley. As the two fall deeper in love, we get to see how "all too human" some of these legendary figures can be with sappy love poems, theatric professions of love, dramatic imprisonments in tall towers, and parents who try to extinguish their love. However, no parental wills can keep these two love-birds apart, and they soon begin a grand adventure across the European countryside, but not before encountering some troubles brought on by their own ill-formed designs. Tune in for part two as we continue on with the life of Mary Shelley! 

It's spooky season, so we're starting up a series on the mistress of morbid herself: Mary Shelley! In our first episode, we discuss the legacy of Mary's parents, and how Mary would be raised surrounded by some of the most cutting-edge thinkers of her time. After a tragic complication arises in the birthing process, Mary's father is left to raise his daughter alone, possessing little knowledge in how to educate a young lady. While living above the family book shop on Skinner Street, Mary would listen in on her father's conversations, often with scientists, one of which included new studies on reanimating a corpse with use of electricity! Eventually, Mary would be sent to a lady's finishing school, and then to Scotland, allowing her to explore some of the more haunted corners of Dundee. Once back at home, the brilliant proto goth-girl was beginning to attract suitors, one of whom really caught her eye by the name of Percy Shelley. Tune in as we begin to explore the life of the first ever Science Fiction writer, and the mother of the macabre: Mary Shelley! (Ep. 036)

Author, Poet, Screenwriter, and speaker Sarah Archer is joining Fika with Vicky this week for one of our Classic Conversations. This week we're focussing on the classic Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus which was written by Mary Shelley in 1818. There will be scandal, heart wrenching realities, lost love, and unwise loves. (Yes, Percy Shelley and Lord Byron, I'm pointing at you.) And all that's before we even get to the novel. Please join us as we look into this work, by a 19 year old, that still has us enthralled over 200 years later. About Sarah Archer - Sarah Archer's debut novel, The Plus One, was published by Putnam in the US and received a starred review from Booklist. It has also been published in the UK, Germany, and Japan, and is currently in development for the screen. As a screenwriter, she has developed material for MTV Entertainment, Snapchat, and Comedy Central. She is a Black List Screenwriting Lab fellow who has placed in competitions including the Motion Picture Academy's Nicholl Fellowship, the Tracking Board's Launch Pad, and the Austin Film Festival. Her short stories and poetry have been published in numerous literary magazines, nominated for the Pushcart Prize, and reached the finals of the Doris Betts Fiction Prize. She has spoken and taught on writing to groups in several states and countries, and interviewed authors around the world as a co-host of the award-winning Charlotte Readers Podcast. You can find her online at saraharcherwrites.com. About Fika with Vicky - Eternally curious about life, Vicky learned early that answers could be found in stories. Whether those stories were tales of ghosts told by her grandmother or read on Romper Room with milk and cookies, she found herself transported to other worlds. Reading to her own children, she developed an appreciation for picture books, and the illustrations that accompanied them. It was then that she realized great truths could be found with the simplest of words, and that children's books are not only for children. Through their reading she saw how vast the Juvenile and Young Adult genres had become, and the way in which they brought understanding to difficult topics. Having written her own stories, in Stick to the Story the Book, Vicky began to be interviewed. And that's when everything clicked. The idea that she could speak to the people behind the stories she loved, and learn more about them, was too tempting to ignore. Fika with Vicky was born in 2019, and with it a desire to share her passion for used book stores on rainy afternoons, folklore and fairytales, and those moments when an author solidifies all you've been thinking in one sentence. https://www.facebook.com/FikawithVicky

What if the very foundation of our society was built on a lie? Join us as Tony Arterburn delves into the rapid decline of the US dollar, the historical failure of fiat currencies, and the artificial pillars propping up our current economic state. Drawing from Percy Shelley's "Ozymandias" and an analogy from Alice in Chains' "Jar of Flies," Tony explores the consequences of overabundance and the manipulative roots stretching back to 1913 and 1971. Through a compelling mix of historical analysis and contemporary critique, we uncover the unsettling truths behind our financial systems.In a gripping analysis of political dynamics, we tackle the rumors surrounding Joe Biden's potential exit from the presidential race, comparing his situation to historical figures like LBJ and Truman. Tony and his co-hosts examine the deep state's influence in maintaining Biden's position and explore the potential implications for Donald Trump and future elections. We also shine a light on the rise of sociopathic tendencies within American governance, inspired by Doug Casey's article, dissecting how these traits mirror those seen in totalitarian regimes and the broader implications for our political landscape.Finally, we explore the seismic geopolitical shifts from the West to the East, spotlighting key organizations like the World Economic Forum and the Trilateral Commission. We discuss the importance of political engagement, especially concerning gun rights and the looming threat of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Wrapping up, Tony shares his excitement for the upcoming Bitcoin conference in Nashville and introduces a new segment called "Truth or Hitting," while expressing heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated audience. Tune in for an episode packed with thought-provoking insights and timely discussions.

"Frankenstein" è un capolavoro narrativo entrato nella leggenda, ma non tutti sanno che anche la vita della sua creatrice, Mary Shelley, all'epoca della scrittura, una ragazza di appena diciannove anni, fu altrettanto avventurosa e leggendaria. La sua fama è stata adombrata per lungo tempo, prima da quella dei suoi genitori, Mary Wollstonecraft e William Godwin, entrambi intellettuali, poi da quella del marito, il poeta Percy Shelley. In questo episodio, Eleonora Gallitelli, ci racconta il lavoro della biografa, Fiona Sampson, che in "La ragazza che scrisse Frankenstein. Vita di Mary Shelley", edito da Utet nel 2018, ha cercato di ridare centralità alla scrittrice, combinando l'indagine sulle fonti con l'interpretazione della sua interiorità. Per Gallitelli tradurre questa biografia ha significato entrare in dialogo con più voci, ma anche capire l'importanza di “inventare se stessi”.Infinity © 2024 by Giovanni Cascavilla is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International.

Silena Santoni"La mia creatura"Giunti Editorewww.giunti.itDa sempre, Mary inabissa il suo straordinario talento di scrittrice sotto il peso dei fantasmi e delle colpe. È solo l'amore folle per Percy Shelley che la tiene in vita: per quell'uomo anticonformista e geniale, romantico e crudele, Mary è disposta a tutto. Anche a perdere sé stessa. Pierre è un montanaro pacifico e curioso che gestisce con la moglie una locanda sulla riva del Lago di Ginevra. Quando vede sopraggiungere a Villa Diodati l'eccentrico poeta Lord Byron con i suoi ospiti, ne è stregato. Inizia a spiarli: Percy Shelley, Claire Clairmont, Polidori si lasciano andare alle più depravate sregolatezze mentre ai margini, come estranea agli eventi, Mary li osserva. È il 1816, “l'anno senza estate”, e a Villa Diodati sta per consumarsi una vicenda oscura che, fra crimini e inquietanti ossessioni, porterà Mary a concepire la sua creatura: un mostro spietato che, nel metterla di fronte agli incubi più cupi, le darà finalmente anche la forza di liberarsene. Per diventare immortale. Un romanzo gotico ispirato alla vita di Mary Shelley che intreccia verità e finzione in un'emozionante storia di rivalsa femminile. Un'eroina tormentata, magnetica, indimenticabile.Silena Santoniè nata e vive a Firenze. Per molti anni ha insegnato Lettere nella scuola secondaria di I e II grado. Scrive brani e adattamenti teatrali per la compagnia Katapult, nella quale ha a lungo recitato. Una ragazza affidabile (2018), il suo romanzo d'esordio, è stato un grande successo di critica e pubblico, al quale hanno fatto seguito Piccola città (2020) e Volver (2022), tutti pubblicati da Giunti Editore.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

In this episode we will look at one of English literature's greatest names, the Romantic Poet, Lord Byron. It is claimed outside of the U.K. he is the second most read British author behind Shakespeare.We first mentioned Byron in our second episode, Science Fiction Satan, where we quoted contemporary poet Robert Southey who dubbed Byron and his good friend Percy Shelley as ‘The Satanic School'. Southey claimed their work was, ‘characterised by a Satanic spirit of pride and audacious impiety.'Add to Southey's glowing endorsement, there is of course the more famous quote about Byron from Lady Caroline Lamb who called him, ‘Mad, bad and dangerous to know.'Then there's his work, poems and plays about the apocalypse, angels of death, vampires, defying the gods, a tribute to Dante's inferno, Lucifer and St Peter litigating over a King of England at the very gates of Heaven, an ode to Napoleon, likening him to our favourite disrupter, the witch of Endor from first Samuel, the devil's drive or the story of Cain told from the point of view of murderous Cain himself.After all of that, how could I resist doing an episode about this man? There are cameo guest appearances by The Young and the Restless, Forrest Gump, Joel Olsteen, Alexander the Great, William the Conqueror, John ‘Foul Weather Jack' Byron, Don Juan, Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, John ‘Captain Mad Jack' Byron, Marchioness of Carmarthen, Amelia Osborne, Catherine Gordon, George Gordon Byron, William Chaworth, Harrow Vs Eton Cricket match, Trinity College at Cambridge, William Fletcher, Hellespont, Greece, Dardanelles, Swimming World Magazine, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Clara Claremont, Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, Switzerland, Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus, Elvis, John Polidore, The Vampire, Bram Stoker, Dracula, John Milton, Darth Vader, Wolverine, The Phantom of the Opera, Venice, Ottomans, Thomas Moore, #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science #History #Atheism #ConspiracyTheory #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Skeptic #Debunk #poetry 

For 1800 years, Western conceptions of the end of the world were dominated by the Book of Revelation: Armageddon, the Millennium, Judgement Day. But in 1816, political upheaval, Enlightenment science and the Romantic imagination converged to give birth to a radical idea: the end of the world without God. When Lord Byron, Mary Shelley and Percy Shelley came together beside Lake Geneva that summer, a volcanic eruption was producing endless rain and apocalyptic prophecies. Drawing on his new book Everything Must Go: The Stories We Tell About the End of the World, Dorian explains how that season of confusion and gloom led to not just Frankenstein but Byron's revolutionary poem Darkness. And how the deaths of her companions led Mary to write The Last Man, the first ever novel about a world-destroying pandemic. It's a story of personal tragedy, temporary climate change, shocking new ideas about the past, present and future of life on earth, and the summer that kicked off two centuries (and counting) of apocalyptic fiction.

While much recent ecocriticism has questioned the value of nature as a concept, Thought's Wilderness: Romanticism and the Apprehension of Nature (Stanford UP, 2022) insists that it is analytically and politically indispensable, and that romanticism shows us why. Without a concept of nature, Greg Ellermann argues, our thinking is limited to the world that capitalism has made. Defamiliarizing the tradition of romantic nature writing, Ellermann contends that the romantics tried to circumvent the domination of nature that is essential to modern capitalism. As he shows, poets and philosophers in the period such as Immanuel Kant, G. W. F. Hegel, Mary Wollstonecraft, William Wordsworth, and Percy Shelley were highly attuned to nature's ephemeral, ungraspable forms: clouds of vapor, a trace of ruin, deep silence, and the "world-surrounding ether." Further, he explains how nature's vanishing—its vulnerability and its flight from apprehension—became a philosophical and political problem. In response to a nascent industrial capitalism, romantic writers developed a poetics of wilderness—a poetics that is attentive to fleeting presence and that seeks to let things be. Trying to imagine what ultimately eludes capture, the romantics recognized the complicity between conceptual and economic domination, and they saw how thought itself could become a technology for control. This insight, Ellermann proposes, motivates romantic efforts to think past capitalist instrumentality and its devastation of the world. Ultimately, this new work undertakes a fundamental rethinking of the aesthetics and politics of nature.  Greg Ellermann is Lecturer in English at Yale University.

Découvrez l'abonnement "Au Coeur de l'Histoire +" et accédez à des heures de programmes, des archives inédites, des épisodes en avant-première et une sélection d'épisodes sur des grandes thématiques. Profitez de cette offre sur Apple Podcasts dès aujourd'hui ! Saviez-vous que le premier roman de science-fiction a été écrit par une femme ? Mary Shelley a donné vie à Frankenstein à seulement 19 ans ! Dans un récit inédit, Virginie Girod vous raconte l'histoire de cette femme de lettres pas comme les autres. Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin naît hors mariage à Londres en 1797 : ses parents, des intellectuels, croient en l'amour libre et à l'égalité des hommes et des femmes. A une époque où on éduque les filles pour qu'elles deviennent de bonnes épouses, la jeune Mary est élevée pour penser par elle-même. Parmi les fréquentations de son père se trouve le poète Percy Shelley, un autre anticonformiste. C'est le premier amour de Mary. On raconte que leur premier rendez-vous a lieu sur la tombe de la mère de la jeune femme ! Le père de Mary ne voit pas cette liaison d'un bon œil. Et pour cause : Percy est déjà marié ! À seulement 17 ans, Mary, sa belle-sœur Claire et Percy s'enfuient. En six semaines, ils traversent l'Europe sur plus de 1 300 km. Fauchée et enceinte, Mary rentre en Angleterre avec pour ambition de repartir au plus vite. C'est chose faite deux ans plus tard. Percy, Mary, Claire et son nouvel amant, le célèbre poète Lord Byron, se retrouvent au bord du lac Léman. Le cadre est idéal, mais la météo est désastreuse. Pour passer le temps, les écrivains se lancent dans un défi littéraire : écrire une ghost story, une histoire de fantômes, un sous-genre du fantastique alors très à la mode. Alors que les poètes s'embourbent dans une prose qu'ils maîtrisent mal, Mary Shelley s'appuie sur les dernières avancées scientifiques pour construire une intrigue plausible au regard du fol espoir que les premières expériences électriques font naître. Dans la nouvelle qu'elle écrit, c'est le courant électrique qui donne vie à Frankenstein, un être composé à partir de morceaux de cadavres. Mais la créature échappe à son créateur... Publié une première fois anonymement, ce qui est devenu un roman n'est attribué à Mary Shelley qu'en 1823. Longtemps réduite à la femme du poète Percy Shelley, il faudra presque deux cents ans pour que son génie littéraire ne soit reconnu à sa juste valeur.

One final bonus episode before getting back to business as usual! This time, Dave ruins the work of Percy Shelley. Editing by Dave Babbitt.

Community is a vital component to our mental, emotional and spiritual health as well as a formative influence on our creative work.Throughout history, artists have gathered together with other artists for mutual support, inspiration and the sharing of ideas. Despite the overarching digital landscape of our present day, the need for gathering together is no less important. In fact, it could be argued that it is all the more important so we do not lose touch with what it means to be human, to look another person in the eyes and share our stories around a common table. Community creates an ecosystem of trusted voices who can appreciate and critique our work, contribute to our artistic growth and create a sense of belonging. And it is within the womb of creative community where seeds of culture begin to germinate. Creative community contributes to and challenges the larger cultural values, upholds traditions or gives a platform to needed voices of change. Establishing creative/spiritual community facilitates shared experiences and creates a safe place to explore new concepts in art and deeper explorations of theology. The artist's role in shaping culture cannot be overstated. Percy Shelley wrote that “poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.” Therefore as artists of faith or those responsible for leading faith communities, if we care about where our culture is headed, we need to take seriously our responsibility to nurture the artist's voice in our midst. Starting Tuesday January 30th, we'll begin a short series of conversations on how creativity, community and culture give shape to the life of the artist. We'll be featuring many of the voices who will be performing or presenting with us at The Breath and the Clay gathering.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast to follow along and if you want to take a deeper dive into these topics, you can sign up at Patreon.com/makersandmystics and participate in our regular online community discussions.

Episode 070: King Lear by William Shakespeare Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Paul Prescott Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. The poet Percy Shelley called King Lear “the most perfect specimen of the dramatic art existing in the world”. It is a prodigious play in every sense. There are ten major roles, it has multiple significant plot lines, an elemental stormy setting, intense domestic conflict, and acts of war and violence which roll on with a propulsive tragic energy and conjure a challenging philosophical vision. As we record this episode a new production directed by and starring Sir Kenneth Branagh arrives in London's West End. I am very pleased to be joined in this episode by Paul Prescott, who is an academic, writer and theatre practitioner specialising in Shakespearean drama.

Starting Thursday, we will publish three stories a week with releases every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Philip K. Dick returns to the podcast in two days. Now for the oldest story we have ever narrated and the author who many believe wrote the first true work of science fiction. Mary Shelley was born in London in 1797. She did not have an easy life. Her mother died 11 days after giving birth to her. Her father remarried but she and Mary didn't get along. IN 1814 Mary began a romance with one of her father's political followers, Percy Shelley, even though he was already married. She and Perry faced ostracism, constant debt and the death of their prematurely born daughter. Mary Shelley is best known for her novel Frankenstein which was originally released anonymously on the first of January 1818. Why was it published anonymously? Because she was afraid that the nature of the subject matter would cause such an outrage if written by a woman that she would lose her children. At the time it would have been very shocking for a woman to write a novel about murder and horror. In addition to several novels, Shelley wrote more than 20 short stories. This is the first, but will not be the last time you will hear one of her stories on our podcast.

Catholic critics of feminism often start with the assumption that the "first wave" of feminism, led by 19th-century figures such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, was basically a good thing and compatible with Catholic teachings; only later in the 1960s and 70s, according to this narrative, was the movement "hijacked" by "radical feminists". The only problem is that when one actually looks closely at feminism in its early form, whether that of Stanton and Anthony or even earlier with Mary Wollstonecraft, one finds obvious continuities with so-called "radical feminism". On the level of ideas, we find Enlightenment individualism, rationalism, and egalitarianism attacking as oppressive the natural institutions of marriage and family and the divinely ordained hierarchies of the Church. On the personal level, feminism was from the beginning the brainchild of traumatized, miserable women who had deeply dysfunctional relationships with the men in their lives - their ideas eagerly championed by men like Percy Shelley, who "liberated" women in order to exploit them. Carrie Gress returns to the show to discuss her book The End of Woman: How Smashing the Patriarchy Has Destroyed Us, which tells the stories of feminist pioneers from Wollstonecraft, Stanton, and Shelley to Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem.

The English Romantic poet Percy Shelley, who died in 1822 at age 29, played a significant role in developing the ideas of the feminist movement, author Carrie Gress says. Ideas of the “the occult, smashing the patriarchy, and free love” played a significant role in Shelley's writing and ideology, says Gress, author of the new book “The End of Woman: How Smashing the Patriarchy Has Destroyed Us.”Shelley was a “barbaric man” who was “involved in the occult,” Gress says. His wife was Mary Shelley, author of the 1818 novel “Frankenstein,” she notes, and Shelley drew on the ideas of her parents—a vision of a “women's revolution where there's no monogamy, there's no marriage, all of these things are just erased, and people just live this bucolic life without any reference to their human nature.” Shelley's ideology contributed to the modern feminist movement, a movement that has led to what Gress calls “The End of Woman.”Gress, also a fellow at the Washington-based Ethics and Public Policy Center, joins the show to discuss the history of feminism and explain how the feminist movement has harmed women and left women unfulfilled.Enjoy the show!

Your hosts take another step on their journey to the center of the Discworld with “The Truth” by Terry Pratchett. They argue quite a bit about books as content vs. physical object and it is tenuously related to the text, we promise. They somehow end up referencing Percy Shelley more than once, and they also discuss whether this book belongs in the “Industrialization” Discworld series, vampires fitting in, and puppies not drowning.Find us on discord: https://discord.gg/dpNHTWVu6b or support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fictionfanspodThanks to the following musicians for the use of their songs:- Amarià for the use of “Sérénade à Notre Dame de Paris”- Josh Woodward for the use of “Electric Sunrise”Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License

Often overshadowed by her renowned literary creation, Frankenstein, Mary Shelley's own remarkable life story is nothing short of a gripping tale of love, tragedy, and groundbreaking literary achievements. In the early 19th century, amidst a society that restricted women's roles and ambitions, Mary Shelley defied all odds and emerged as one of the most influential figures in the history of literature. Born into a world of literary brilliance, as the daughter of the prominent feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and political philosopher William Godwin, young Mary was destined for greatness. We uncover her resilience in the face of personal tragedies, including the untimely deaths of her children and tumultuous relationship with Percy Shelley. She went through unimaginable ups and downs, mostly from the ages of 16 to 24!  We also get into the captivating circumstances that led to the conception of Frankenstein, a tale of science, ambition, and the human condition that continues to resonate with readers and scholars worldwide.

This time: the tumultuous history of Atheism. The concept has been around since the ancient world but for centuries it was demonised and suppressed. Who could believe such a thing? Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey track the ultimate heresy from the earliest days of western civilisation to the freethinkers of the Enlightenment and the bare-knuckle oratory of the New Atheists. What's the difference between atheism, agnosticism, secularism and deism? What does it stand for? Can it explain the world while also satisfying the need for meaning and community? Was totalitarianism the monstrous zenith of atheism or just a substitute religion? Thomas Paine, Bertrand Russell, Percy Shelley, Albert Camus, Richard Dawkins and more feature in the story of the fight for the right not to believe in God.
