This week we're going back to the eighties, a time of momentous change, as chronicled by John Walsh in his new book Circus of Dreams. John, renowned literary editor, journalist, author and popular panellist on Radio Four's The Write Stuff, persuades us that the eighties were probably the most exciting time to work in the literary world. The decade was hit by a tsunami of talent as new authors like Martin Amis, Rose Tremain, Jeanette Winterston, Hanif Kureshi, Ian McEwan, Julian Barnes, Sebastian Faulks, Douglas Adams and Salman Rushdie and many more exploded onto the scene and changed the literary landscape forever. Together with Sally Emerson, who was then Editor of Books and Bookmen and is now an award-winning and highly acclaimed anthologist, novelist, short story and travel writer, John takes us on a highly entertaining journey back to the days before computers when business was done in pubs or parties, office life was ramshackle and fun and writers were the great glittering stars of their day. John brushed shoulders with everyone from Andrew Neil and Rupert Murdoch to every author you've ever heard of. It was an exciting time and John and Sally transport us back to it with their insider knowledge, much laughter and hilarious anecdotes.

In this episode I'm joined by Dr Barbara Franchi, who researches into neo-Victorian fiction, intertextuality and echoes of Empire. We consider issues such as the risks of nostalgia in society, and the enduring legacy of the 19th century in neo-Victorian works. We discuss the idea of a neo-Victorian 'canon' and how literature and critical scholarship is redefining this concept - as well as the whole genre of neo-Victorianism. We consider the roots of the field and genre in the reaction to Thatcherism, and how the British-centric approach is actually an Anglocentric one, and narrowed to a specific idea of Englishness. About my guest: Dr Barbara Franchi obtained her PhD in 2017 from the University of Kent, where she wrote a thesis on A. S. Byatt's fiction and intertextuality. She holds a BA in Modern Languages and an MA in English and Postcolonial studies, both from the University of Venice (Italy). Her research focuses on contemporary women's writing, cultural memory, historical fiction, and echoes of Empire in all of the above: it is through these angles that she approaches neo-Victorianism. She has published book chapters and articles on neo-Victorian and neo-historical authors such as Byatt (in Sea Narratives, ed. Charlotte Mathieson: Palgrave 2016), Eleanor Catton (Partial Answers, 2018), Rose Tremain and Isabel Allende (Neo-Victorian Studies, 2019), and David Mitchell (with the Italian journal MediAzioni, 2019). Future publications include a chapter on Byatt's The Children's Book and Peacock and Vine (in Neo-Victorian Decadences, forthcoming within Rodopi's Neo-Victorian series), and an article on the novelist's short stories (in the Journal of the Short Story in English). She has also worked on travel studies, co-editing Crossing Borders in Victorian Travel: Spaces, Nations and Empires (Cambridge Scholars 2018, with Elvan Mutlu): the collection examines imperialism and intercultural crossovers in Victorian travel writing, covering travel accounts, fiction and journalism. She has taught at the Universities of Newcastle, Kent, and Canterbury Christ Church, and is now a Teaching Fellow at Durham University.For more information on Barbara's work, check out the details below:Email: Barbara.Franchi@durham.ac.ukTwitter: barbara_franchiAcademia: https://durham.academia.edu/BarbaraFranchiCheck out Barbara's suggestions:Angels and Insects (1995 film)Sophie Ellis-Bextor -- Love is a Camera (2014 single and video)Sarah Waters : The Little StrangerAbdulrazak Gurnah - Desertion, AfterlivesEpisode Credits:Episode Writer, Editor and Producer: Emma CatanMusic: Burning Steaks (by Stationary Sign) - obtained via EpidemicSoundCheck us out at the following social media pages and websites!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/victorianlegaciespodcastTwitter: @victorianlegac1Instagram: @victorianlegaciespodcastWebsite: https://emmacatan.wordpress.com/victorian-legacies-podcast/Email: victorianlegacies@gmail.com

Light the candles, grab the tinsel! Our very first festive special has arrived! In this extravagant episode, I listen to all the fabulours voice notes you have sent in about queer Christmas and reflect on how great it is to be hohohomosexual (or pansexual, or ace or inter or queer in any way -- I'm just doing it for the puns). You will hear familiar voices from past episodes but also meet a lovely listener and a very merry scholar who will be on Queer Lit in 2022. Of course, this episode also includes reading recommendations and a list of (questionable) holigay films.Queer Lit episodes mentioned:“Drag, Panto & Genderfuckery” with Nick Cherryman“Queer Kings and Trans Histories” with Kit Heyam“Tarot, Femmes and Asian Diasporic Literature” with Xine Yao“Queer Pets” with Sarah Parker and Hannah Roche (coming in January!) “Disability and Queerness” with Chris Mounsey“Black Trans Narratives” with LaVelle RidleyOther people, films and podcasts mentioned:Homosapiens PodcastChris SweeneyKathrin Horn https://knowledge-failure.org/knowledge-blog/thoughts-on-the-closets-failed-knowledge/ Rose Tremain's Sacred Country“Hail Smiling Morn”Happiest SeasonClea DuVallBut I'm a CheerleaderThe Children's HourShirley MacLaineThe Retro BarDan LevyJana FunkeRadclyffe Halll's The Well of LonelinessJeanette Winterson's Christmas DaysThe Christmas HouseLet It SnowThe Christmas Set-upCarolTangerineFriendsgiving/Dinner with FriendsNew York Christmas WeddingLez BombTruman Capote's “A Christmas Memory”Make my yuletide gayer by following me on Twitter (@lena_mattheis) or Instagram (@queerlitpodcast).Questions you may want to reflect on this festive season:1.What do you appreciate most about your queer family?2.What would be a good gender-affirming gift?3.Which queer charity could you donate to this season?

Mary Robinson, once President of Ireland and now the Chair of The Elders, has been at COP26 in Glasgow all fortnight. She explains why the climate challenge ahead is so emotional. Rose Tremain's new novel called Lily begins with a baby being abandoned by her mother outside a London park in Victorian London. She's rescued from prowling wolves by a young police officer and Lily's life as a foundling child begins. It's a story of revenge and, as often with Rose Tremain's work, the setting might be historical but there are contemporary parallels. Daddy Issues. It's an insult now but it started out as a psychological term to explain the importance of father figures. But what exactly are Daddy Issues, how real are they and what do you do if you think you have them? Katherine Angel, author of ‘Daddy Issues', and Angharad George-Carey, host of the Daddy Issues podcast joins us. And today is Single's Day in China. It's the world's biggest shopping spree. It's supposed to honour those who are not in a romantic relationship, and sales tempt people to treat themselves. It brings in more money than Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined. We talk to Nina Yu of Hylink, China's largest digital advertising agency, about the scale and origins of the event. We also find out about changing attitudes towards being an unmarried or ‘leftover' woman in China with Dr Ye Liu, a sociologist from King's College London.

Alexandra Joel's latest book The Royal Correspondent is one for fans of The Crown TV series – revisiting as it does swinging London in the 60s, seen through the eyes of a young Australian journalist, coming from the wrong side of the tracks, promoted to covering the British royal family. Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and in today's Binge Reading episode Alexandra talks about the scandalous family story – one from her own family – that got her started in fiction, her father's rags to riches story, and how, having discovered fiction writing as her third career, she doesn't plan to change to a fourth any time soon. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: How her father's amazing life inspired The Royal CorrespondentHer grandmother's scandalous escapeGrace Wood - a remarkable Australian in ParisThe magic of Mary QuantWhy she loves her third career The writers she loves - including Rose Tremain and Benjamin Black Where to find Alexandra Joel:  Website : https://www.alexandrajoel.com/ Facebook: @AlexandraJoelAuthor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexandrajoelauthor/ What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. But now, here's Alexandra. Jenny Wheeler: Hello there, Alexandra, and welcome to the show. It's so good to have you with us. Alexandra Joel: I am delighted to be talking to you, Jenny. Alexandra Joel - Australian historic fiction author Jenny Wheeler: You've had a stellar career in journalism, and we'll talk about that a little later, but you have now very successfully transitioned to writing fiction and your most recent book, The Royal Correspondent, is an entertaining revisiting of 1960s London through the eyes of a young Australian journalist, Blaise Hill. It's one for fans of The Crown for starters, isn't it? As we've said, you started as a journalist yourself. How did you make that transition to being a novelist? Introducing author Alexandra Joel Alexandra Joel: As a child, I learned to read very young and I was immediately captured by the concept of story. I read and read. I used to tell stories to my classmates, but I was so in awe of novelists, I didn't think I could ever do it, so I stuck to nonfiction. When I wrote my memoir about my great-grandmother Rosetta, something shifted within me. To set the scene, Rosetta was a happily married (so we thought) very young woman in Edwardian Melbourne with a husband and a five-year-old child, and she ran away with a half-Chinese fortune teller called Zeno the Magnificent. The pair completely reinvented themselves. He said he was a distinguished doctor from Japan; she said she was American. Alexandra's great-grandmother and Zeno together - Picture ABC. They went over to London and they became the toast of the town. I have letters from royalty and wonderful telegrams saying things like, please come and stay at my villa in Cap Martin because Princess Charlotte will be there, and Empress Eugenie is popping in. But the whole thing was invented. They led an incredible life, but she never saw her child again, and that child was my grandmother. A scandalous grandmother's story When I wrote the book, I used two voices. One was their life, told using the techniques of fiction because after all, whoever knew what they were saying – was it true, was it false? Nobody knew. The other was grounded in fiction because it was the story of me looking for her. When I finished the book and it had a very good reception, I started thinking, maybe I could channel my great grandmother. She led a life which was filled with glamour and adventure but most of all with invention. I thought maybe I can do that too, except I'm going to do it a little more safely and conservatively through books. And it all started happening. Rosetta - A Scandalous True Story by Alexandra Joel

Sometimes we have an idea of how a plan will come together, other times we just need to start telling a story and let the ending reveal itself. This was a paraphrasing if a quote by Rose Tremain by the way. Hers was better but too long for the title. “ In the planning stages of a book, don’t plan the ending. It has to be earned by all that will go before it.”

The arrival of a new film by Clio Barnard promises an in-depth and uncompromising study of character and place; Dark River, her new film set in the harsh and beautiful Yorkshire farming landscape, is no exception. The northern locale links to her previous films The Arbor and The Self Giant, as does the bleak and brutal tragedy of the human stories. However, this rural tale, based on the Rose Tremain novel Trespass, is somewhat of a departure from the urban working-class focus of those previous films.  In this Q&A, presented in association with Cinecity, Clio talks about the film with long-time friend Andrew Kötting, touching on the development of the script from the book, the casting, her minimalist aesthetic, the P.J.

Rose Tremain is one of our finest writers, and her bestselling books - both novels and short stories - are garlanded with prizes. She defies categorisation and is equally at home with historical and contemporary fiction: she has created characters as diverse as Merivel, the physician turned fool at the court of Charles II; a 19th-century gold miner in New Zealand; and a transsexual growing up in rural Suffolk. Rose talks to Michael Berkeley about her latest novel, The Gustav Sonata, the story of a long and loving relationship between someone who is profoundly musical and somebody who isn't. She chooses music which inspired the story and which features in it: by Schubert, Beethoven and Mahler, as well as music she loved as a teenager and as a student in Paris. And Rose remembers her inspirational piano teacher, Joyce Hatto, whose career ended in disappointment and scandal many years later. Producer: Jane Greenwood A Loftus Media production for BBC Radio 3.

Rose Tremain's latest book is a collection of short stories called The American Lover; how does her shorter fiction compare to her full length work? Benedict Cumberbatch plays the WWII cryptographer and code-breaker Alan Turing in The Imitation Game. Also starring Kiera Knightley, it tells the tale of the team of British maths geniuses who cracked the Nazi's Enigma Code. How successfully does it breathe new life into the biography of a private and secretive man? Roy Williams' new play Wildefire, directed by Maria Aberg, opens at London's Hampstead Theatre. It deals with 'the precarious world of modern policing'; how does a good copper stay good when her world turns nasty? British artist Allen Jones is probably best known for three works he created 45 years ago; Hat Stand, Table and Chair. A new exhibition at London's Royal Academy is a look back at his career - including pop art from the 60s, through figurative sculpture to his painted steel sculptures. But do accusations that his early work demeans women still hold sway in the more broadminded 21st century? Michael Palin returns to a British TV series for the first time in 2 decades in Remember Me on BBC1; a supernatural thriller set in Yorkshire - who is to blame for a series of mysterious deaths? Razia Iqbal's guests are Elif Shafak, Patrick Gale and Miranda Carter. The producer is Oliver Jones.

In a special edition of Front Row live from the BBC Radio Theatre, John Wilson and guests celebrate the short story. He'll be joined on stage by Hilary Mantel and Laura Dockrill. And chair of the judges Alan Yentob will be announcing the winner of the BBC National Short Story Award 2014 from the all female shortlist of Tessa Hadley, Rose Tremain, Francesca Rhydderch, Zadie Smith and Lionel Shriver.

Now she’s produced The Last Runaway, which has been described by Rose Tremain as ‘the best thing Chevalier’s written since Girl With A Pearl Earring’.

His books include Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You, Felicity Frobisher and the Three-Headed Aldebaran Dust Devil and We Need to Talk About Kelvin, which has just been long-listed for the 2010 Royal Society Book Prize. I interviewed Marcus about We Need to Talk about Kelvin for the Faber podcast. You can listen to the interview by clicking here. Here are his summer reading selections: It is probably odd to recommend a book so far only half-read but I knew from the opening page that Tash Aw’s Map of the Invisible World was going to be special. The story of two orphaned brothers adopted by very different families, set amid the political turmoil of post-colonial Indonesia, its prose is rich and atmospheric. Reminds me of Graham Greene. Aw, a Malaysian writer based in London, deserves to be far better known than he is. I had never before read anything by Rose Tremain but, after putting down The Road Home, I wanted to read more. The novel charts the …

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the novelist Rose Tremain. She began writing as a child soon after her father left home. It became a kind of therapy for her and she explains it's something she still turns to, especially in moments of crisis. Recognised for her ability to get right inside the minds of her characters, she offers the reader a view of the world through their eyes. In her book Sacred Country, we become a little girl who believes she's really a boy. In Restoration, we live the life of a 17th-century man. As a writer, she wants her work to feel dangerous, and so after extensive research she likes to forget it; keeping some facts and making others up. It's like playing a game with the reader, she says, a challenge to guess which is fact and which is merely fiction.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs] Favourite track: Dance Me To The End Of Love by Leonard Cohen Book: A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking Luxury: Word processor
