Paola Tonussi"Poesie"Rupert BrookeInterno Poesiawww.internopoesialibri.comCuratela e traduzione: Paola TonussiPostfazione: Silvio RaffoDefinito come «il migliore dei Georgiani» da Ezra Pound, Rupert Brooke (1887-1915) è il poeta della transience, la bellezza che presto svanisce. Celebre per i sonetti di guerra, da lui poco considerati, Brooke è poeta ben più intenso del mito creato da quei versi e dalla morte precoce nell'azzurro Egeo: una leggenda, un'illusione che colma il disperato bisogno d'ideale degli inglesi in guerra, ma deforma il giovane agitatore socialista e amante dei cruenti elisabettiani nell'idolo dell'establishment. Di straordinaria maestria tecnica adagiata su un letto formale, la sua poesia s'immette nel solco di Marvell e l'assunto nostalgico del tempo che va, quale tentativo di fermare l'istante, la bellezza dai piccoli piedi sempre in fuga, transitoria. Nei così detti “ugly poems” si rivela invece poeta di acuminata ironia, il primo a considerare temi tabù per l'epoca – decadimento fisico della vecchiaia, avversione per la banalità borghese, contrasto tra eros e matrimonio. Con occhi addestrati alle visioni – Donne, Marvell, Webster, Milton – quella di Rupert Brooke è una poesia molto più moderna della sua fama, che va scoperta e restituita al suo vero orizzonte: la meraviglia della linea inglese, da Shakespeare a Auden.Rupert Brooke, nato a Rugby nel 1887 è l'astro della sua generazione: brillante sportivo, studioso che concorre alla riscoperta di Donne, Webster e gli elisabettiani, i cui saggi lo rendono Fellow del King's College a Cambridge. Personalità affascinante, sognatore che scrive versi in giardino e vegetariano ante litteram, attrae a Grantchester, il villaggio fuori Cambridge dove vive, amici e artisti: Virginia Woolf, Forster, Lytton Strachey, Maynard Keynes, Duncan Grant e altri. Ammirato da Pound e Henry James, Eliot e Fitzgerald, è il poeta della transience, la bellezza che presto svanisce, l'amico generoso che lascia la propria eredità letteraria ai poeti Gibson, Abercrombie e de la Mare, perché possano scrivere senza assilli pratici. Oltre i “sonetti di guerra” che gli danno fama di war poet quasi suo malgrado, Rupert Brooke pubblica in vita una sola raccolta, Poems 1911, che rivela agli inglesi un Marvell minore e una poesia colma d'ironia, levità ed eccezionale maestria tecnica. La seconda raccolta, Poems 1914, esce postuma: il poeta muore infatti andando ai Dardanelli nell'aprile 1915, ed è sepolto a Sciro nell'Egeo dai compagni soldati destinati a morire poco dopo di lui. IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://n9.cl/wtk33 The War Poems of Siegfried Sassoon Read by Denis Daly Unlike his more famous fellow war poets, Wilfred Owen and Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon survived the First World War. In this collection of 64 poems, first published in 1920, Sassoon portrays the dehumanizing horror of modern warfare with its staggering death toll, while also satirizing the jingoistic fervour of politicians and armchair strategists. Sassoon's own war service fell into two distinct periods. The first was marked by a number of heroic actions on the battlefield which earned him the Military Cross. However, after a period of convalescence in 1917, Sasson became a pacifist and refused to return to active duty. This change of attitude was diagnosed as a psychological disorder and he was posted to Ireland where he trained new recruits. By the end of the war he had been promoted to captain. For the rest of his long life he remained staunchly anti-war.

Paola Tonussi"Rupert Brooke. Lo splendore delle ombre"Edizioni Areswww.edizioniares.itRupert Brooke: un nome, una leggenda. Così lo descrive l'amica Virginia Woolf.

Un'intensa e breve vita, raccontata da Paola Tonussi in questa prima biografia italiana.Brooke muore andando ai Dardanelli e sarà sepolto in un'isola dell'Egeo dai compagni soldati, «ombre colorate», destinati a cadere poco dopo di lui «più tenui della pallida luce delle onde, / Che si rompe in fosforo nella notte».Paola Tonussi è studiosa di letteratura inglese e americana dell'Ottocento e del Novecento e collabora a riviste italiane e anglosassoni, tra cui “Brontë Studies”.

In the previous episode "Dandies: Gentleman of Style from the 19th Century to Today", Carl was joined by cultural historian and maker of fine custom clothing, Nathaniel Lee Adams for a look at this most interesting breed of society's tastemaking men.  In this new episode, Carl and Natty take the discussion further and focus on the early 20th century, when a new brand of dandy was emerging  - one with style perhaps, but also often tinged by scandal. Being a "dandy" is generally thought to be more than just being a stylish dresser.  There is attitude, perspective and perhaps even a sense of the revolutionary that ties many of history's so-called dandies together.  In this episode, Carl and Natty start with the world of the dandy immediately following the death of Oscar Wilde and begin with a discussion of the British author and caricaturist Max Beerbohm and the  American self-proclaimed inventor of the tuxedo, Evander Berry Wall.  They then discuss the fascinating, complex black American boxer Jack Johnson, who in order to fight not only his opponents but the pervasive prejudice of his time,  created a boundary-breaking persona of style laced with scandal.  Returning to Europe the discussion continues Oscar Wilde's own nephew and writer (and also boxer),  Arthur Cravan, the War Poets including Rupert Brooke and Siegfried Sassoon, the minimalist Austrian architect Adolf Loos and finally one of the most polarizing personalities of them all, the flamboyant Italian poet and would be revolutionary, Gabriele D'Anunzio.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896 - 1940) Amory Blaine grew up in a wealthy family and was given an Ivy League education. Without a need to learn a profession, he chiefly dabbled in literature and partying. His school chums were of similar background, and the ideas they reflected to each other grew in their minds to be of the greatest importance. Amory began to think of himself as somewhat of a character in a Rupert Brooke poem (from which the book's title is taken).World War I intervened in this happy fog and brought focus to some, doubt to others.In the rapidly changing technology of the war era, the financial underpinnings of the Blaine fortune began to fall apart. The deaths of Amory's parents left the finances without a rudder and as Amory's situation deteriorated he came to realize he had only his interest in literature to fall back upon.Meanwhile, a series of young women traipsed through his life, attracted to his handsome face and bright wit like moths to a candle. But Amory could never master the role of being a real person... and, one by one, they traipsed out.This Side of Paradise was F. Scott Fitzgerald's first novel and was one of the nation's most popular books in the year it was published. It has some definite parallels with Fitzgerald's own life, and is in some ways an autobiography. Summary by Mark F.

Thank you to Jay Rothermel for suggesting I read these stories. You can read his take on them here:[https://jayrothermel.substack.com/p/two-stories-by-rose-macaulay-1881]Dame Emilie Rose Macaulay, born on August 1, 1881, in Rugby, Warwickshire, England, emerged as a distinctive figure in 20th-century literature. The daughter of George Campbell Macaulay, a classical scholar, and Grace Mary Conybeare, her upbringing was imbued with a scholarly aura that would lay the foundation for her intellectual pursuits. She attended Oxford High School for Girls before studying Modern History at Somerville College, Oxford University.Macaulay's literary journey was marked by a remarkable transformation. From her early struggles with depression, she transitioned into a prolific novelist known for her incisive commentary on society and relationships. This transition is especially fascinating when considered alongside her complex relationships, her private life, and her evolving religious and philosophical beliefs.Macaulay's religious journey was far from linear. Her exploration of faith went beyond the boundaries of traditional Christianity, reflecting a mystical sense of the Divine. While her spiritual convictions evolved, she did not return to the Anglican church until 1953. This complex relationship with religion is reflected in her works, where themes of Christianity often intertwined with skepticism and satire. Her novels, including "Potterism" (1920) and "Keeping Up Appearances," demonstrated her ability to dissect societal norms, often with a satirical edge.Her personal life was marked by a clandestine affair with Gerald O'Donovan, a lapsed Irish priest and fellow novelist. This intricate relationship spanned over two decades and remained a secret from many, even her closest friends. Macaulay's own ambivalence toward her sexuality added another layer of complexity to her identity, influencing her writing and the themes she explored.Macaulay's relationships within literary circles were equally captivating. She fostered connections with prominent writers such as Rupert Brooke and Elizabeth Bowen, often leaving her imprint on their narratives. Her role as a patron and supporter of emerging talents showcased her nurturing spirit, even as her own literary prowess continued to grow.Her impact extended to journalism, where she contributed to magazines like Time & Tide and the Spectator. Her engagement with contemporary issues, including her support for the League of Nations, underscored her commitment to global harmony.Macaulay's work often grappled with the tension between individual freedom and societal responsibilities. Her novel "The World My Wilderness" (1950) exemplified this theme, as it navigated war-torn landscapes and internal struggles. The contrast between private introspection and public involvement became a defining motif in her literary explorations.Dame Emilie Rose Macaulay's legacy is a testament to the interplay of faith, identity, and relationships in shaping artistic expression. Her intricate journey through religious and philosophical landscapes, her intricate relationships with other literary figures, and her prolific body of work continue to captivate readers and scholars alike. As a figure who wove threads of complexity into the fabric of literature, she sNew Patreon RequestBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: voicesoftoday.net/fleck Selected Poems By James Elroy Flecker Narrated by Denis Daly James Elroy Flecker, linguist, scholar, critic, poet and diplomat, like his illustrious poetic peers, Wilfred Owen and Rupert Brooke, did not survive the First World War. All three died young : Owen and Brooke in the line of battle, Flecker, who never fought due to a long standing respiratory illness, in a sanatorium in Switzerland in 1915. Flecker's poems are generally short: none of his original verse works exceeds 1200 words in length. It appears that he had no desire to create poetic epics like Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Endymion or the Faerie Queene. Flecker revised his poems regularly, refining their spare but telling verbiage and achieving a simplicity and directness which is peculiarly his own.

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Kobo.com: https://www.kobo.com/au/en/audiobook/poems-1905-1911 Poems - 1905-1911 By Rupert Brooke Narrated by Denis Daly Not all the young poets whose lives were cut short during the First World War were actual casualties of the conflict. James Elroy Flecker and Rupert Brooke both died in 1915, each leaving a body of finished work which places him in the ranks of the major poets of the Twentieth Century. Brooke seems to have had a premonition of his untimely demise for a considerable period. The subject of death is very prominent in his verse, which, even in its most playful moments, is characterized by a profoundly elegaic quality. Brooke's untimely passing inspired tributes from many literary celebrities, among whom was Winston Churchill: "During the last few months of his life, the poet-soldier told with all the simple force of genius, the sorrow of youth about to die, and the sure, triumphant consolations of a sincere and valiant spirit. "The thoughts to which he gave expression in the very few incomparable war sonnets which he has left behind will be shared by many thousands of young men moving resolutely and blithely forward into this, the hardest, the cruellest, and the least-rewarded of all the wars that men have fought. They are a whole history and revelation of Rupert Brooke himself. Joyous, fearless, versatile, deeply instructed, with classic symmetry of mind and body, ruled by high, undoubting purpose, he was all that one would wish England's noblest sons to be in days when no sacrifice but the most precious is acceptable, and the most precious is that which is most freely proffered."

This Side of Paradise - F. Scott Fitzgerald - Book 1, Part 2 Title: This Side of Paradise Overview: This Side of Paradise is the debut novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1920. The book examines the lives and morality of carefree American youth at the dawn of the Jazz Age. Its protagonist Amory Blaine is an attractive middle-class student at Princeton University who dabbles in literature and engages in a series of romances with flappers. The novel explores the theme of love warped by greed and status-seeking and takes its title from a line of Rupert Brooke's poem Tiare Tahiti. Within months of its publication, This Side of Paradise became a cultural sensation in the United States, and reviewers hailed the work as the best novel of the decade. The book went through twelve printings and sold 49,075 copies. The novel became especially popular among college students, and the national press depicted its boyish author as the standard-bearer for "youth in revolt". Overnight, the novel's author F. Scott Fitzgerald became a household name. Fitzgerald's newfound fame enabled him to earn much higher rates for his short stories, and his increased financial prospects persuaded his reluctant fiancée Zelda Sayre to marry him. With his debut novel, Fitzgerald became the first writer to turn the national spotlight upon the so-called Jazz Age generation. In contrast to the older Lost Generation to which Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway belonged, the Jazz Age generation were those younger Americans who had been adolescents during World War I and were largely untouched by the conflict's psychological and material horrors. Fitzgerald's novel riveted the nation's attention upon the leisure activities of their sons and daughters and sparked a societal debate over the younger generation's perceived immorality. As a consequence of this novel, Fitzgerald became forever regarded as "the outstanding aggressor in the little warfare which divided our middle classes into the twenties—warfare of moral emancipation against moral conceit, flaming youth against old guard". When he died in 1940, social conservatives rejoiced over his death. Published: 1920 Series: Novels #1 List: Great American Novel Collection Author: F.

With news of the death of Leonard Cohen at the age of 82, we broadcast a rare interview the singer-songwriter did with Front Row in 2007, on a visit to Manchester for the opening of an exhibition of his art.To mark Armistice Day, Michael Nunn and William Trevitt, artistic directors of the all-male dance troupe BalletBoyz, discuss Young Men, the film of their stage production which explores the soldiers' experience of the First World War, and why they felt it was important to shoot the film in the cold, rain and mud on location in northern France.And poetry from the battlefield. When we use the term 'war poet' we immediately think of WWI but what about verse inspired by more recent conflict? How do contemporary war poets compare to the likes of Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, Rupert Brooke and Isaac Rosenberg? American Iraq War veteran and poet Kevin Powers, and Radio 4's poet-in-residence Daljit Nagra, discuss modern war poetry.Presenter: Kirsty Lang Producer: Ella-mai Robey.

How great artists and thinkers responded to the horrors of the First World War in individual works of art.2.Stand-Up comedian Arthur Smith presents a suitably Dada-esque account of Tristan Tzara's Dada Manifesto.Arthur Smith has long been fascinated by the Dada movement, which began one hundred years ago in 1915. His interest was re-ignited by a recent visit to the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, where Tzara - a French writer and performance artist of Romanian-Jewish descent - first came to prominence. This visit led him to reflect both on the seriousness of the dadists' project - as a protest against the meaningless horrors of the First World War - and on their use of comedy to express their ideas.Juxtaposing the Dada Manifesto with his thoughts on that most conventional of War poets, Rupert Brooke, Arthur Smith's comic and thought-provoking Essay is a document of which Tristan Tzara himself - had he been a radio broadcaster - would have been proud.Producer: Beaty Rubens.
