Podcasts about pre raphaelite brotherhood

In this richly layered episode of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump takes listeners on an unexpected but eye-opening journey through Victorian art, elite ideology, and the philosophical roots of what would become the modern deep state. Beginning with the spiritual rebellion of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, painters who rejected academic art in favor of moral, mythic, and nature-infused themes, Matt follows the ripple effect their work had on cultural critics like John Ruskin, who laid the intellectual groundwork for a radical reimagining of economics, society, and power. From Ruskin's moral vision of wealth to the impassioned social reformism of young Oxford lecturer Arnold Toynbee, this episode traces how aesthetic and ethical movements morphed into a concrete conspiracy of influence. Matt unpacks how Toynbee's idealistic student Alfred Milner went on to help found the Rhodes-Milner Round Table, later forming the backbone of the Anglo-American Establishment, including the Council on Foreign Relations and Chatham House. It's a blueprint for elite control that began not in boardrooms, but in classrooms, galleries, and idealistic discussions about beauty and justice. With vivid historical anecdotes, philosophical depth, and trademark humor, Matt shows how the same formula repeated a century later with 1960s progressivism and the rise of the American security state. This episode is a masterclass in how culture builds empires, and why understanding art might be the first step in dismantling the system that governs us now.

The Star Wars continues! We will study written Greek myths, paintings of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, unwritten myths of the Aborigines of Australia and Polynesia. We will trace and track the first dates of the mention of the Pleiades and reclaim them from the New Age Nazis! A season finale! If all goes well you will never be the same. The preparation has prepared you for the receival of what is to come. Impossibly old dates for the early signs of natural farming and early communism. Ive pushed everything up to 11 hoping the machine can take it!This is the story of how the primordial grains, the crop wild relatives of our contemporary economic base and the political source of our conflicts came to be. Stargazing, Orion, The seven sisters, old canoes and Mayan calendars, seriously what more could you ask for!?

This week, Stauney and Sadie dive into the uncredited women who played pivotal roles during one of the biggest boys' clubs in art history: the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. We'll introduce you to trailblazers like Julia Margaret Cameron, Christina Rossetti, Evelyn De Morgan, Elizabeth Siddal, Marie Spartali Stillman, and Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale, whose influence on the movement and beyond is undeniable. Though often overshadowed by their male counterparts, these women were the true powerhouses behind the Pre-Raphaelite vision, shaping the art world in ways the "bros" could never have done alone.

Described by some as a, “charming rogue,” Charles Augustus Howell was a dodgy figure in Victorian art circles, in particular London's Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood movement. There was extortion. There was forgery. And just a whole lot of unsavory bits. Howell was an art dealer by trade who was also known to manipulate those around him so he could acquire works that would establish and increase his reputation – and his financial security. When that didn't work, in the words of biographer Humphrey Hare, "Howell did not hesitate to blackmail." So let's get to know this charming-yet-unsavory character.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We lost a real legend in Russ Nicholson this year. I can honestly say that Russ and his work sneak into my mind in short order whenever I talk about fantasy art at length, no matter the period. When we recorded this interview back in 2019, it was apparently his first appearance on a podcast, which seems bizarre considering how large his work looms over the hobby, then and now. I'll never not be bummed about a lack of Russ Nicholson in the world. Anyway, we couldn't record last week, so we thought it would be cool to bring this one out from the vault, a little in memoriam for his passing earlier this year. Original Show Notes:  This week, we talk to the incomparable artist Russ Nicholson. Russ has created countless iconic illustrations for tabletop RPGs - you probably best know his work from the original Dungeons & Dragons Fiend Folio or from countless fantasy gamebooks, like the Fighting Fantasy series. We chat about his work, his career, Ouija boards, Scottish accents and more in what, as far as Russ can recall, is his first podcast interview ever! A few notes directly from Russ after the fact: "Sorry about my memory and going off at side tangents so often but I enjoyed that...funny I have never talked in regards to the source of my artwork about the 'happenings' at our old house when I was growing up before. At least as I age, these awarenesses are rare and our present bungalow is so new there is nothing directly 'there.' Now artists - there are a few I especially rate (although I made a point of never copying) - Albrecht Durer, the Brueghals, Rembrandt, El Greco, Hals, Velazquez, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Mucha, Klimt, Toulouse Lautrec, Doré, Beardsley and Rackham, to name a few. Also pulps - Sax Rohmer, Howard, The Shadow, Weird Tales, Black Mask stories, Poe, Edgar Wallace, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Merrit, Hamilton, Jules Verne, Rider Haggard and the old pulp serials I saw at Saturday morning children's cinema - loved it all. From age ten on, when I left the countryside life for life in the city, I read a lot (up until then my mother thought I didn't read anything except comics). And that silent film I was trying to talk about - it had something similar, where a man is sitting by a rock pool (?) and these squidgy tentacled things (similar to the Grell toy Stu sent me) come out of the water and drag him to his doom. Scared me as a lad but I was in my teens so no screaming attacks (laf) and am still not fond." * * * Stu's book, Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground is for sale now! Buy it! Patreon? Discord?

How did the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood become so famous? Did Elizabeth Siddal really almost die in a bathtub when she modelled for John Everett Millais' Ophelia? And which Rosetti painting shocked the art establishment the most? Speaking to Elinor Evans, Suzanne Fagence Cooper answers your questions on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood: a group of artists founded in 1848 who pushed the boundaries of artistic realism and courted scandal in Victorian Britain through their lifestyles and art.

A London newspaper review of the exhibition mentioned Siddal by name: “Her drawings display an admiring adoption of all the most startling peculiarities of Mr. Rossetti's style, but they have nevertheless qualities which entitle them to high praise.” The reviewer also expressed admiration for the “high, pure, and independent feeling” of Siddal's rendering of human faces in her drawings. Her painting, Clerk Saunders, was purchased by an American collector in attendance. Significant collections of her artworks can be found at Wightwick Manor and the Ashmolean.

Sally leaves a frosty boat and travels to Gloucestershire to meet her friend and fellow author Alice Jolly. They talk about Alice's epic experimental novel, Mary Ann Sate, Imbecile, which is written in rolling free verse and recounts the life of an elderly maidservant in the Stroud Valley of the 19th century.  They listen to clips from an extraordinary dramatisation of the book, and discuss spiritual autobiography, Christina Rossetti, the Psalms, and how the marginalised and dispossessed can find a posthumous voice in literature. Further Reading Sally's friend Alice Jolly has won the V.S. Pritchett Memorial Prize and the PEN/Ackerley Prize. Her novel Mary Ann Sate, Imbecile was runner up for The Rathbones Folio Prize  and longlisted for The Ondaatje Prize. She was awarded an O. Henry Award in 2021. You can find her books here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Books-Alice-Jolly/s?rh=n%3A266239%2Cp_27%3AAlice+Jolly The dramatization of Mary Ann Sate, Imbecile was created by the Red Dog Theatre Company, Jude Emmet, Kate Abraham and Simon Turner.

This long poem recounts the experiences of a sailor who, in one of the most famous tales in literature, brings a curse upon himself and his shipmates when he kills an albatross. At the beginning of the poem, the mariner stops a guest on his way to a wedding, insisting that his story must be heard. You can find the poem here, in a revised edition published in 1834: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43997/the-rime-of-the-ancient-mariner-text-of-1834 Christina Rossetti was a 19th century English writer of romantic, devotional and children's poems, celebrated for the deceptive simplicity of her lyrical language.  She was sister to the artist and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and part of the circle which formed around the artistic movement known as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Some of her best-known poems can be found here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/christina-rossetti Puddleglum appears in the children's fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia by the Oxford writer C.S.

Had a chance this week to go and enjoy some incredible sketches and watercolours at the Ashmolean in Oxford.  The artists?  The Pre Raphaelite Brotherhood - one of my favourite groups of artists.  Somewhat uncharacteristically, we also developed some Ilford XP2 film (our daughter wants a film camera) and I've been testing a few old boxes we've had laying around for the past 20 years or more. The results, if I was being charitable, weren't a disaster.  But they weren't great either. And that's in stark contrast to the camera I am using daily: the Nikon Z9.   This camera is so utterly good that it is literally changing everything I have believed in since I first picked up a DSLR.  Have a listen and see if you agree with me (or not!) Would love to hear your thoughts. Also, a quick reminder, if you're listening to the BEFORE 20th September 2022, Sarah and I will be presenting on the Graphistudio stand at the Photography Show at 1pm - grandstanding as usual - and you can also catch us on the BIPP stand, doing business and portfolio reviews. See you there! Cheers P.

Art, and the pursuit of pleasure and beauty, were of the utmost importance among members of the Aesthetic Movement in the second half of the 19th century, such as Oscar Wilde and William Morris (to name a few). I explain how Aestheticism was a reaction to certain Victorian-Era ideals, discuss some of the biggest influences on the Aesthetes, and describe characteristics and examples of Aesthetic art and literature. ***** References “Aestheticism: The Art of Beauty.” https://exploringyourmind.com/aestheticism-the-art-of-beauty/#:~:text=Aestheticism%20was%20an%20artistic%20movement%20that%20arose%20against,freedom%20of%20expression%20against%20the%20restrictive%20Victorian%20conformity.

We're kick-starting season two of the podcast with a discussion of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the portrayal of women in their artwork. We'll cover a lot of ‘tragic women', from Ophelia to Jochebed to Lilith, and have a look into the potential hypocrisy of these ‘rebellious' artists. To see the artworks or articles I talk about during the episode, throw a follow to @pullingbackthecanvas on Instagram where I'll also update about upcoming episodes and other arty goodness!

Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti (12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882), generally known as Dante Gabriel Rossetti (/rəˈzɛti/),[1] was an English poet, illustrator, painter, and translator, and member of the Rossetti family. He founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Huntand John Everett Millais. Rossetti was later to be the main inspiration for a second generation of artists and writers influenced by the movement, most notably William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. His work also influenced the European Symbolists and was a major precursor of the Aesthetic movement.Bio via Wikipedia See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

John Keats (31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English poet prominent in the second generation of Romantic poets, with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, although his poems were in publication for only four years before he died of tuberculosis at the age of 25.[1] They were indifferently received by critics in his lifetime, but his fame grew rapidly after his death.[2] By the end of the century he had been placed in the canon of English literature and become the inspiration for the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, with a strong influence on many writers; the Encyclopædia Britannica described one ode as "one of the final masterpieces". Jorge Luis Borges called his first encounter with Keats's work an experience that he felt all of his life.[3] It had a style "heavily loaded with sensualities", notably in the series of odes. Typically of the Romantics, he accentuated extreme emotion through emphasis on natural imagery. Today his poems and letters remain among the most popular and analysed in English literature. Especially acclaimed are "Ode to a Nightingale", "Ode on a Grecian Urn", "Sleep and Poetry" and the sonnet "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer".Bio via Wikipedia See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week we talk about Christina Rossetti, the "cool aunt" of the Victorian era. Join us to learn about some of her short poems including An Apple Gathering and her relationship to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

When you think about Raphael's work, you probably picture all the virtues of a Renaissance old master: beauty, elegance, dexterity… Well, that is definitely not what the seven members of the 1848 Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had to say about him. In fact, they would most likely call him a corrupting influence in the way academies taught art from that point on in history. The remedy they proposed? A short-lived, yet influential art movement that sought to return to the spirituality, abundant detail, intense colors and complex compositions of the Italian Quattrocento (15th century). Although the Brotherhood was dissolved by 1851, their principles lived on to inspire future generations of artists. Wanna learn more?

Lizzie Siddal was a young working class woman in Victorian London who longed for more. Desperate to be accepted as a poet and a painter, Lizzie found her way into the art scene by becoming the main muse of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. She may be most recognisable face of the art movement, but her own talents were submerged (much like Ophelia) by the demands of the famous men around her. Heidi and Becki muse on the idea of the muse - must they always be female? How have they changed through history? Will anyone make them a sandwich?

Although Sandro Botticelli mustn't've been cool enough to have a Ninja Turtle named after him, he certainly was one of the most influential old masters of the Italian Renaissance. Not only was he one of the painters that participated in decorating the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican; he was also a key influence behind Neo-Platonism in the arts during his lifetime, as well as one of the artists whose legacy contributed to the creation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in the late 19th century. His most famous work, The Birth of Venus (mid-1480s), is one of the most celebrated paintings of art history. Wanna learn more about it? Tune in for today's Chart episode!

He was a child prodigy who, at the age of eleven, became the youngest student to enter London's Royal Academy School of Art. Later he would become one of the founding members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood shocking the classical art establishment. But eventually he developed his own realistic style of art and became one of the wealthiest artists of his day. In this episode, we will learn about John Everett Millais.

He was born into an Italian family steeped in a rich cultural and literary heritage which greatly influenced him throughout his life. Often torn between either being an artist or a poet, he chose both. In this episode, we'll talk about Dante Gabriel Rossetti, one of the founding members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, as well as one of his most famous works, The Day Dream.

Versione audio: Nel 1848, a Londra, un gruppo di giovani pittori e poeti fondò la Confraternita preraffaellita (Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood). Si trattò di un movimento, permeato di religiosità e di tendenze spiritualistiche, che ambì a recuperare gli ideali cavallereschi del Medioevo e che fece propria la poetica stilnovistica dell’idealizzazione della donna. I Preraffaelliti. I temi favoriti […] L'articolo I Preraffaelliti proviene da Arte Svelata.

For this episode, Helen Victoria Murray and I revisited Desperate Romantics (2009), the show that made a generation of teens (or maybe just us) fall in love with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. We discussed the differences between Victorian fame and 2000s celebrity, the relationship between aesthetics and accuracy in artists' biographies, and all the ways in which William Morris deserves better.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a secret society of painters in the mid 19th century that formed as a rebellion against the "dark and unimaginative" mainstream artists of the time. But we don't care about them. In this episode, we will talk about the women who truly made this artistic movement possible, The Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood. These "stunners" (aka models) rose from low social classes into something like stardoms through their work with the Pre-Raphaelite painters. Some started their own businesses or launched painting careers of their own. They were friends, colleagues, and competitors to one another, and all were fascinating women in their own right. P.S. the really long named painting that Sabrina botched should be “A Converted British Family Sheltering a Christian Missionary from the Persecution of the Druids.

In which Charis and Sharon return from their short hiatus to talk about traaaaaiiiiinnnnssss. That's right, this is the first of two episodes on THE FIVE RED HERRINGS! Our friend Angela Hines joins us to represent the pro-timetables point of view. We discuss Sayers' correspondence about the novel with her publisher, as well as how the book differs from the previous Lord Peter mysteries. We also cover the scene of the murder, discuss a depiction of marriage in THE FIVE RED HERRINGS, and get ourselves tangled up trying to distinguish which Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood version of "The Lady of Shalott" we're respectively referring to. This episode covers roughly the first half the novel and does not give away the whodunnit.

Join us in the fairy circle to learn about the painting "Midsummer Eve" by Edward Robert Hughes. He was influenced by aestheticism, his uncle who was also an artist, and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood; ultimately studying at the Royal Academy of Arts.  Ok Gallery-whisperers let's tread softly through the fog that lingers and hides shadows, and that could possibly even disguise shadowy creatures and beings that may belong in fairyland and not a borough of London.  If you're new to the Whispering Gallery podcast and our spooky, spine-tingling and hard-to-believe art stories I hope you'll subscribe and join our community!

Plague! Corpse dismemberment! Pretty costumes! Derpy greyhounds! Necrotic Herbs! This episode has a little bit of everything. It takes you on a journey through five centuries to discuss the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood’s obsession with Boccaccio’s story about a young woman named Lisabetta and her most beloved pot o’basil. Come for the learning, stay in spite of my telling you how to carry the body of a full-grown man up dorm stairs.

This week, we talk to the incomparable artist Russ Nicholson. Russ has created countless iconic illustrations for tabletop RPGs - you probably best know his work from the original Dungeons & Dragons Fiend Folio or from countless fantasy gamebooks, like the Fighting Fantasy series. We chat about his work, his career, Ouija boards, Scottish accents and more in what, as far as Russ can recall, is his first podcast interview ever! * * * A few notes directly from Russ after the fact: "Sorry about my memory and going off at side tangents so often but I enjoyed that...funny I have never talked in regards to the source of my artwork about the 'happenings' at our old house when I was growing up before. At least as I age, these awarenesses are rare and our present bungalow is so new there is nothing directly 'there.' Now artists - there are a few I especially rate (although I made a point of never copying) - Albrecht Durer, the Brueghals, Rembrandt, El Greco, Hals, Velazquez, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Mucha, Klimt, Toulouse Lautrec, Doré, Beardsley and Rackham, to name a few. Also pulps - Sax Rohmer, Howard, The Shadow, Weird Tales, Black Mask stories, Poe, Edgar Wallace, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Merrit, Hamilton, Jules Verne, Rider Haggard and the old pulp serials I saw at Saturday morning children's cinema - loved it all. From age ten on, when I left the countryside life for life in the city, I read a lot (up until then my mother thought I didn't read anything except comics). And that silent film I was trying to talk about - it had something similar, where a man is sitting by a rock pool (?) and these squidgy tentacled things (similar to the Grell toy Stu sent me) come out of the water and drag him to his doom. Scared me as a lad but I was in my teens so no screaming attacks (laf) and am still not fond." * * * You can see scads of Russ' art on his blog, The Gallery.

Episode 12 of the Museum of Femininity Podcast and Part 3 in our Pre Raphaelite Sisters series.In this episode I explore the life of Maria Zambaco, a wonderful artist who made gorgeous art medals as well as painted. She was of Greek Origin and unlike both of the women in this series was wealthy, previously married and had children. She was the lover and muse of Edward Burne Jones who painted her obsessively and very nearly ran away with Maria, which ended in scandal and tragedy. However, Maria was no victim and was able to rise above her failed relationship with Burne Jones to live a full and happy life under her own terms.I am so sorry for the multitude of ways I pronounce 'Maria' and hope it is not too distracting!Source MaterialThe Last Pre Raphaelite by Fiona McCarthyPre Raphaelite Sisters by Jan MarshThe Blog 'Behind Every Man' For photo sources please follow us on Instagram @themuseumoffemininity

Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson was a British poet. He was the Poet Laureate of Great Britain and Ireland during much of Queen Victoria's reign and remains one of the most popular British poets. Although decried by some critics as overly sentimental, his verse soon proved popular and brought Tennyson to the attention of well-known writers of the day, including Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Tennyson's early poetry, with its medievalism and powerful visual imagery, was a major influence on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of Victorian-era painters. A number of phrases from Tennyson's work have become commonplaces of the English language, including "Nature, red in tooth and claw," “Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all," "Theirs not to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die," "My strength is as the strength of ten, / Because my heart is pure," "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield," "Knowledge comes, but Wisdom lingers," and "The old order changeth, yielding place to new.”  He is the ninth most frequently quoted writer in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. Today we examine three of Tennyson’s poems, “Ulysses,” “The Lady of Shalott, and “Tears, Idle Tears.”                  

On the night of 18th April, 2015 a 90-foot fishing boat packed with migrants sent out a distress signal. It collided with a vessel responding to that call and sank between Libya and the Italian island of Lampedusa. Between 770 and 1,100 people drowned. Now the wreck has been raised and installed at the Arsenale, the historical naval yards in Venice - as an art work. Tim Marlow, director of exhibitions at the Royal Academy, considers the controversy surrounding this, and discusses with John Wilson other works that have drawn his attention at the Biennale. Elizabeth Macneal’s debut novel The Doll Factory, the subject of a bidding war between publishers, is the story of a young woman who finds herself part of the circle around the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The author was also inspired by her fascination with the Victorian taste for collecting. She talks to Front Row about creating a character in charge of her own destiny, about the book’s success - and about her other career, being a potter. At the Venice Biennale, the British artist and author Edmund de Waal introduces us to his two-part project, Psalm, which opened this week at different venues. At the 16th-century Ateneo Veneto he has created a Library of Exile made of porcelain which holds almost 2000 books by exiled writers, from Ovid to the present day. To the north of the island, at the Jewish Museum, he’s installed a series of porcelain, marble and gold works that reflect the literary and musical heritage of the 500-year-old Ghetto.

Celebrated as the iconic model and muse for the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Elizabeth Eleanor Siddall has become one of the most recognisable faces in the history of Western art. However, famed for her beauty and romanticised for her tragic personal life, Lizzie Siddall's own art and poetry was largely brushed aside, diminished by the grandeur of the "great men" who surrounded her. Come with us as we button our bonnets and prepare for some grave-digging in order to examine the mythic story of her life and death, and the long undervalued significance of her own work.If you want to support Deviant Women, follow us on: PatreonTwitter @DeviantWomenFacebook @deviantwomenpodcastInstagram @deviantwomenpodcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Back in 1848, a gang of rather pretentious young men with a sentimental disaffection for daily life started their own cultural revolution. They were artists, poets and intellectuals of independent means, intent on shaping a new, idealised world of their own through their own creations. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood were to some extent an early version of the 1960s cultural revolution. Their artistic achievements have left a stunning legacy. Many would agree that works like Ophelia and the Lady of Shallot truly embody the modern perception of what art is supposed to be. But there is a darker side to this glorious success story. In many of their works is depicted a woman – a red-headed, pale and often fragile depiction of femininity that repeats across innumerable works by the Pre-Raphaelites. In this episode you’ll discover: - The powerful tragedy behind the world’s most famous red-haired muse - The soaring artistic heights and the depraved troughs of the Pre-Raphaelites’ counter-cultural lifestyle - The poignant legacy of a female artist whose life was cut short all too soon Find more on our site: http://www.footnotesofhistory.com/26 Join the FoH Legion: http://www.footnotesofhistory.com/join

We speak to John Holmes about the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's use of scientific methods in their art practice. What was the extent of their relationship with science, and how can we see their work in a new context if we re-examine it through this lens? https://artuk.org/discover/stories/art-matters-podcast-the-pre-raphaelites-relationship-with-science

Donna and Tom discuss the Victiorian poet, Christina Rossetti. A member of the remarkable Rossetti family (her brother was the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood) her most famous poem is probably "Goblin Market", which is still in print today. She spent much of her life unhappy, in emotional turmoil, wrestling with her personal demons, but always creating prolific amounts of poetry. As poets (especially women poets) of the Victorian era go, her name is one of the most well known.   Music by Stefan Kartenburg, featuring Dimitri Artmenko on strings, and it's from dig.ccMixter.  Our website is gallusgirlsandwaywardwomen.weebly.com, and you can find us on Twitter @gallusgirlstory

Hannah Lyons gives a TORCH bite-size talk at the Ashmolean Museum's DEADFriday event

Victoria Reynolds Farmer moderates a discussion of the poetry of Christina Rossetti with Leah Henning and Lisa Korthals. Topics include: The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Christianity in "Up-Hill," and proto-feminism in "Goblin Market."

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. In 1859 the poet Edward FitzGerald published a long poem based on the verses of the 11th-century Persian scholar Omar Khayyam. Not a single copy was sold in the first few months after the work's publication, but after it came to the notice of members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood it became enormously influential. Although only loosely based on the original, the Rubaiyat made Khayyam the best-known Eastern poet in the English-speaking world. FitzGerald's version is itself one of the most admired works of Victorian literature, praised and imitated by many later writers. With: Charles Melville Professor of Persian History at the University of Cambridge Daniel Karlin Winterstoke Professor of English Literature at the University of Bristol Kirstie Blair Professor of English Studies at the University of Stirling Producer: Thomas Morris.

Co-curator of the Pre-Raphaelites exhibition Jason Rosenfeld explores the legacy of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 20th and 21st century popular music, art, design, fashion and film.

With Mark Lawson In Meryl Streep's latest film, Hope Springs, she and Tommy Lee Jones play a middle-aged couple whose marriage has become stale, after more than three decades together. They attend a series of therapy sessions in an attempt to revive their relationship. Writer and critic Gaylene Gould reviews. The work of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood has been brought together in a major exhibition, for the first time in nearly 30 years. The show at Tate Britain aims to display the breadth, influence and radical intentions of the group, and includes major works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt. Rossetti biographer Dinah Roe reviews. Daniel Evans, Artistic Director of Sheffield Theatres, discusses his new production of Macbeth and why he has no fear of saying the play's name. As a new documentary, released today, charts how independent record shops are disappearing from our high streets, David Hepworth recalls the very specific pleasures of hours spent flicking through the racks of LPs and singles. Producer Claire Bartleet.

Though never officially a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, this colleague of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Morris was, by inclination and practice, sympathetic to the realist ambitions of the movement. Born in Calais, Madox Brown studied in Belgium and was influenced by the German Nazarene painters in Rome before his first liaison with Pre-Raphaelitism. Working with pure colours and clear contours on a dazzling white ground, and carefully composing his subjects from well-lit life, Brown achieved a sense of pageantry in this tableau. Its lower portions are especially immediate, an extensive cleaning having revealed the glorious condition of the original paintwork. Though Brown began his original composition in Rome, the final canvas was begun in London in 1847, and completed in 1851. Rosetti modelled for Chaucer, while others of the Pre-Raphaelite circle appear as supernumeraries. It was Brown's desire in this, surely one of the greatest modern British paintings in Australia, to encapsulate an historical moment: the birth of the English language in the person of Chaucer. The Tate Gallery in London possesses a study for the work, exact in detail but much reduced in scale. AGNSW Handbook, 1999.

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the life and work of the Victorian poet Christina Rossetti. Rossetti was born into an artistic family and her siblings included Dante Gabriel, one of the leading lights of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, to whose journal, 'The Germ', Christina contributed poems. She was a devout Anglican all her life and her religious beliefs are a recurring theme in her work. Christina never married, although she was engaged twice - one of her fiancés was the Pre-Raphaelite painter, James Collinson. She spent her time writing and volunteering for charitable works. It is said she even considered going to the Crimea with Florence Nightingale, but in the end ill health prevented her from doing so. Best known for her ballads and long narrative poems, she also wrote some prose and children's verses. Christina was admired by contemporaries including Swinburne, Tennyson and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Her work was to have an influence on later writers such as Virginia Woolf and Gerard Manley Hopkins. Rossetti's poetry has a spirituality and sensitivity that has led to her redisovery in recent decades, not least by feminist critics who praise her powerful and independent poetic voice.

Victorian art, love, poetry and life are analyzed and discussed by professors Richard Ruppel and Wendy Salmond during Poetry Week at Chapman University. Ruppel, professor of English, breaks down the poems by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning and Christina Rosseti. Salmond, professor of art, connects artwork and poetry through analyzing the works of William Hunt, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and others.
