We don't know where you grew up or where you call home, but we're from Stoke-on-Trent. Oatcakes, Port Vale, the friendliest and funniest people on Earth. Northern Soul and the rave scene. Shelleys, Kinetic, and Golden. And, of course, Wedgwood and Brindley. Have you never heard of it? As a kid, we'd tell people we were from Manchester because everyone knows Manchester, and it's cool. But Stoke? Pah. We're ashamed to say we never sang its praises. But what did we know? We left Stoke for Manchester, seeking our fortune. But that was many years ago. And we've recently returned to the area. We see Stoke with fresh eyes now and proudly tell people that's where we're from. Funny enough, we weren't the only ones with this attitude. Stoke has an unfair reputation, which is absurd given its affectionately known as The Potteries – a creative city that creates art from dirt and is now named the World Capital of Ceramics. But despite its incredible industrial heritage, the local and national news just seems to spout negative stories, and everyone talks about its decline. But one person is hoping to change all that. Simon Davies is an industrial and product designer and co-founder of Protect-a-Pet, a company that sells his inventions worldwide, which help protect cats from the risk of free roaming. Si has big ambitions for the city. He is hugely passionate about the region and believes it's on the brink of a resurgence. A rebirth. Fed up with seeing a place in post-industrial decline and driving past derelict buildings each day on his way to work, he and some others have set up a Community Interest Company called The Teapot Factory to bring people together and drive change. He's also behind a 'netwalking' event called the Teapot Tours, the first of which was attended by a few Chamber of Commerce members and some local artists. The idea was to bring together creatives and business people, something Stoke is famous for. The walks are guided by a local history expert and end at a venue with an interesting speaker or poet. We wanted to find out more about a city with so much potential, a proud history, a talented workforce and a network of local creatives determined to make the Potteries legendary once more.

This Day in Legal History: Racist Restrictive Covenants Struck DownOn May 3, 1948, a significant legal decision was rendered by the United States Supreme Court, fundamentally altering the landscape of civil rights and property law. The case, Shelley v. Kraemer, addressed the pernicious practice of racially-restrictive covenants in real estate. These covenants were agreements embedded in the deeds of properties that prohibited the sale of these properties to individuals of certain races, most commonly African Americans.The Supreme Court's decision in Shelley v. Kraemer struck down the legal enforcement of these covenants, ruling that while private parties may enter into whatever agreements they choose, they cannot seek judicial enforcement of covenants that violated constitutional principles of equality. The Court held that such enforcement by state courts constituted state action and therefore was subject to the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.The background of the case involved an African American family, the Shelleys, who purchased a home in a neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri. This neighborhood had an existing covenant that barred African Americans from owning property. When the Shelleys moved in, several of their white neighbors sought to enforce the covenant to prevent them from taking ownership.The Missouri Supreme Court had originally sided with the neighbors, ruling that the covenant was enforceable. However, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision reversed this ruling. Justice Fred M. Vinson, writing for the majority, emphasized that the enforcement of racially restrictive covenants by state courts amounted to a state action that denied equal protection of the laws.This landmark decision was a crucial step forward in the fight against institutionalized racism, particularly in housing. It reflected the growing judicial recognition of civil rights issues and set a precedent for future rulings related to racial discrimination. Moreover, Shelley v. Kraemer highlighted the judiciary's role in upholding constitutional rights against socially entrenched racial discrimination.The ruling did not, however, eliminate racially restrictive covenants overnight. Many neighborhoods continued to observe such agreements informally, and it wasn't until later legislative efforts, such as the Fair Housing Act of 1968, that such practices were comprehensively outlawed. Nevertheless, the Shelley v. Kraemer decision remains a pivotal moment in American legal history, celebrated for its affirmation of the principles of equality and justice enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.The Biden administration is set to implement a rule that will allow undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children and are covered under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to receive subsidized health insurance through Obamacare. This rule, scheduled for release by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), will redefine "lawfully present" individuals to include DACA recipients, enabling them to access premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions when purchasing plans from federal and state marketplaces beginning November 1, 2024.HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra emphasized the importance of this change, noting that over a third of DACA recipients currently lack health insurance. The inclusion of DACA recipients is expected to improve not only their health and wellbeing but also contribute positively to the overall economy. Additionally, the rule will permit these individuals to enroll in basic health programs similar to Medicaid in certain states, provided they earn no more than 200% of the poverty level.The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services anticipate that this adjustment could result in 100,000 previously uninsured DACA recipients gaining health coverage. This decision marks a significant shift from previous policies where DACA recipients were excluded from being considered "lawfully present" for insurance purposes due to the original rationale behind the DACA policy, which did not address eligibility for insurance affordability programs.The significant development in this story is the modification of the definition of "lawfully present" by the HHS to include DACA recipients. This change is crucial as it directly impacts the eligibility of these individuals for health insurance subsidies under Obamacare, a shift in policy that broadens access to healthcare for a previously marginalized group.DACA Immigrants Win Access to Obamacare Subsidies in HHS RuleIn a groundbreaking trial in Chicago, attorneys for Angela Valadez, an 89-year-old woman who developed colon cancer, argued that pharmaceutical companies GSK and Boehringer Ingelheim were aware that the heartburn medication Zantac could become carcinogenic under certain conditions but failed to alert the public. The lawyers contended that Zantac's active ingredient, ranitidine, could transform into a cancer-causing substance called NDMA if it aged or was subjected to high temperatures, and accused the companies of covering up the degradation of the pills by altering their appearance.GSK and Boehringer Ingelheim, the only defendants in this trial after other companies reached settlements, defended their product. They insisted that Zantac has been proven safe and effective through numerous studies and that no direct evidence links Zantac to Valadez's cancer, citing her other risk factors for the disease. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration had removed Zantac and its generic versions from the market in 2020 after detecting NDMA in some samples. Despite this, a significant legal victory came for the companies in 2022 when a judge dismissed about 50,000 claims, questioning the scientific backing of the assertion that Zantac could cause cancer. However, with more than 70,000 cases still pending, largely in Delaware, the issue remains a significant legal and public health concern. A newer version of Zantac with a different active ingredient is currently on the market, which does not contain ranitidine.GSK knew about Zantac cancer risk, attorneys tell jury in first trial | ReutersIn the ongoing criminal trial of former U.S. President Donald Trump in New York, a new defensive angle emerged as Trump's lawyer portrayed the hush money payment at the center of the trial as potentially extortive. The payment in question involved Stormy Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, who was reportedly paid to keep quiet about an alleged encounter with Trump prior to the 2016 presidential election.During the proceedings, defense attorney Emil Bove questioned Keith Davidson, Daniels' former lawyer, about his history with negotiating cash-for-dirt agreements with celebrities, hinting that Davidson's actions bordered on extortion. Trump's legal team appears to be focusing on undermining the credibility of prosecution witnesses like Daniels and Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer and fixer, who arranged the controversial $130,000 payment. Trump has denied any encounter with Daniels and pleaded not guilty to the charges of falsifying business records to conceal the payment.This trial aspect dovetails with previous testimony regarding Cohen's disappointment over not receiving a major governmental post after Trump's election victory. Cohen, who later disassociated from Trump and criticized him publicly, is expected to be a key witness. He has already served prison time for his role in the payment scheme.Moreover, the trial has seen further complications due to Trump's conduct outside the courtroom. Justice Juan Merchan has had to address violations of a gag order by Trump, who has been fined and could potentially face jail for continuing infractions. Trump has criticized the trial publicly, claiming it is an attempt to prevent his political comeback and alleging conflicts of interest by those involved in the trial.Trump's various legal troubles include other serious charges, such as attempting to overturn the 2020 election results and mishandling classified documents, adding layers of complexity to his current legal battles as he campaigns for the 2024 presidential election. These developments suggest a trial fraught with legal and political ramifications, with Trump's defense pushing back against what they suggest are questionable prosecutorial tactics and witness credibility.Trump trial hears Michael Cohen was 'despondent' he was denied a government post | ReutersTrump lawyer suggests hush money payment was extortion | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Johannes Brahms.Johannes Brahms, born on May 7, 1833, in Hamburg, Germany, is one of the most revered figures in the history of classical music. His compositions span a wide range of genres, including chamber works, symphonies, and choral compositions. Brahms was known for his perfectionist approach, often taking years to refine his works to his satisfaction.Among his most celebrated creations is Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68. This symphony, which took Brahms about 14 years to complete, is frequently dubbed "Beethoven's Tenth" due to its stylistic similarities to Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonic work, especially the Ninth Symphony. Brahms's dedication to living up to Beethoven's legacy is evident in the meticulous structure and emotional depth of the piece.Symphony No. 1 was first performed in 1876, and since then, it has become a staple in the orchestral repertoire. It is particularly noted for its profound depth and complexity. The symphony unfolds over four movements, beginning with a dramatic and tense first movement that features a memorable timpani motif, which sets a somber and introspective mood. This is followed by a gentle and lyrical second movement, offering a stark contrast to the dramatic opening. The third movement, often considered the heart of the symphony, showcases Brahms's skill in thematic development and orchestral color. The finale is a triumphant resolution to the symphony's earlier tensions, culminating in a powerful and uplifting theme that echoes Beethoven's own symphonic climaxes.This week's closing theme features this masterful work by Brahms, inviting listeners to explore the depths of his musical genius. Symphony No. 1 stands not just as a nod to Beethoven's influence but as a significant original contribution to the symphonic form, marking Brahms's triumphant emergence as a composer of the first order in the orchestral domain.Without further ado, Brahm's Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 68 - III.

Lord Byrons memoarer brändes, men kvar finns över 3000 brev. Per Bergström skriver ett svar. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Min käre LB,Jag har länge försökt komma ifatt dig, men inser nu att det är försent. Jag sökte dig på åstranden i Cambridge, men förgäves, på tjurfäktningsarenan i Cadiz och blodstänkta fält i Waterloo, jag såg inte dig men väl ditt namn inristat vid Genèvesjöns strand precis som på Poseidontemplet i Sounion, jag lyfte på masker på karnevalen i Venedig och viftade undan fåglar i ett florentinskt menagerie. Måhända var det för att jag till skillnad från dig inte förmådde simma över Bosporen som jag inte ens i Grekland han ikapp.Nu beger jag mig mot Hucknall för att slutligen få möta dig. Ja, du läste rätt. Hucknall intill det Newstead Abbey du en gång lösgjorde dig ifrån. Det är där du slutligen vilar, även om ditt hjärta är kvar i Grekland och Missolonghi. Skilt från din lekamen, precis som Shelleys, efter att ni på stranden i Viareggio lyfte hans hjärta ur begravningsbålet för att överlämna det åt Mary.Du ska veta att hon kom att vårda det, i en låda omvirat av en dikt, ända till sin död. Och Grekland vårdar ännu ditt. Ja, Grekland blev verkligen befriat. En förhoppning som blev din död, men att du anslöt dig till dem hjälpte dem att ena sig i sin frihetskamp mot den överhet du föraktade, var den än förekom. Vi hade behövt dig här idag för att fortsatt blotta de maktgalna.Och i Grekland hyllas du som frihetshjälte. Jag har sett ditt namn på gator, torg och stadsdelar och du reser dig från socklar över mången stad.Vid Akropolis är det lätt att förstå den avsky du kände för Lord Elgin. Hur du fnös åt hans försvar över att Parthenonfriserna bort till avskydd nord bestörta röva. Den avsmak du kände för det engelska barbariet när du såg dem packas i hamnen i Pireus Kall är den själ, som ej på Hellas serMed älskarens känslor vid sin älsklings grav!(…)Vars smycken Albion förde bort på hav,När just dess skydd de kunnat bäst behöva!Och vad hade denne Elgin att sätta emot din penna, som var lika vass mot adelsmän, hovdiktare och gemena kritiker, som mot dina kollegor, där Wordsworth av allt som trist och folkligt är kokar ihop sin poesi, och Coleridges penna åt Morning Post ger aristokrati.Ja, jag minns hur du till slut vände dig mot självaste din bundsförvant John Murray. Ni två som var omöjliga att separera, du den liberale omvälvaren, han den mer konservative, och kanske första moderna, förläggaren som såg till att samla ihop dina sånger och ständigt lyckas förse världen med nya upplagor.Tänk att det var samma år som du höll ditt liberala jungfrutal i Parlamentet som Murray gav ut de första två sångerna av Junker Harolds pilgrimsfärd, 500 exemplar sålda på tre dagar, 11 upplagor de kommande tre åren. Som du skrev var det han som såg till att du vaknade en morgon, och fann att du var en berömd man.Jag måste att erkänna att jag under vår långa vänskap har haft svårt att inte gå vilse bland alla dessa historier. Så många myter, men bland dem också så många sanna. Din förtjusning i Napoleon. Ditt vindrickande ur dödskallar. Hur din mor i din barndom hånade dig för din klumpfot, denna missbildning som skulle följa dig genom livet, men hur du i vattnet kunde känna dig fri när du simmade. Och som du simmade. Inte bara över Bosporen, utan tvärsöver bukten i La Spezia och dagligen i Venedigs Canal Grande.De oräkneliga kvinnohistorierna och din sylvassa penna – även du måste ju förstå att det fanns de i England somgjorde allt för att tvinga dig i exil. De fortsatte svärta din ära och ditt rykte även när döden kom att tvinga dig hem igen.Jag minns dina ord, när ryktena spreds om ett incestiuöst förhållande med din halvsyster: ”When justice is done to me, it will be when this hand that writes is as cold as the hearts which have stung me”.Detta det så kallade Byronmysteriet, du må tror att det har debatterats. Du har försvarats och rentvåtts, men nu säger de att relationen är belagd. Att ni fick barn tillsammans. Men kan det stämma?Du skrev:Har jag felsteg ock bakom mig,Fanns då ingen annan arm,Än den arm, som lindats om mig,Att ge hugget åt min barm?Allt detta till trots sägs det idag att du näst efter Shakespeare är Englands mest älskade skald. Och som med honom försöker man nu finna den du var, glömma att författaren är död, utan i stället följa de spår som kan ge oss ett svar.Själv tänker jag att det egentliga skälet till att du lämnade England inte var dessa kvinnorykten utan snarare minnena av ljuvlemmade möten i länder där tveeggad kärlek som din inte straffades med döden.Men frågorna kan nu aldrig ställas, och svaren vore svar som knappast behövs. Du må leva i de byroniska hjältarna, i Junker Harold såväl som i Don Juan. Och, med eller utan dig, passar dina dikter för vem som än läser dem, då som idag, likt ock imorgon.Men det var de personliga utsvävningarna som fick dekanen i Westminster Abbey att förbjuda din eviga vila där. Som skulle få det att dröja 145 år innan ditt namn fick ta plats i kyrkans Poets Corner. Dessa utsvävningar som århundranden varit så nyfikna på. Och ändå lämnade du allt åt oss. Dina memoarer över ett liv som hade kunnat fylla ett sekel, och som du menade skulle få det sena 1800-talet att häpna. Men jag får göra dig besviken och berätta att dina nära och förläggare lät manuskriptet möta lågorna då de ansåg det alltför skandalöst. Vad hade jag inte gett för att få ta del av det, men kvar sitter jag och dina levnadstecknare med 3000 brev, och nu vill jag ge dig åtminstone ett till svar.För jag vill bara säga dig det att hur du än levde, antecknade och svävade ut, så är dina dikter av inre liv en återglans. Som naturens skönhet varar, som river murar och störtar despoter. Som slåss för frihet och fångar kärlek, den förbjudna, den stormande, den obesvarade.Och jag tror inte du skulle bli förvånad över att det än idag från scener skriks ut ”She walks in beauty like the night”, att försmådda älskare ännu mumlar ”When we two parted in silence and tears”, och att studenter vandrar hem om morgonen med dina verser snurrande i huvudet: Fast vi i natten har ägt varandraoch gryningen kom för snart,skall vi två aldrig vandranär månen lyser klart. Nu når jag snart din grav och med mig mitt brev. Så skön, så fridsam och så mild är döden i sin första bild!I över 200 år har du saknats mig, men en hjälte aldrig fattats mig. Du lever bland oss med nya översättningar, biografier och samlingsutgåvor. I allt mörkare och auktoritära tider kan vi vända oss till dig, så som flertalet förtryckta minoriteter och frihetskämpar gjort för att med dina dikter spränga sina bojor. I känslolivets bergochdalbanefärder sitter du bredvid. I humorlösa tider lockar du med spetsfundig ironi.Jag vill det folket intet, det är visst, och tar därför vår gamla Byron.Låt oss mötas nu.Per BergströmförläggareLitteraturO dåna Ocean, Lord Byron, dikter i tolkning av Gunnar Harding.

Im Jahr 1816 gelang der 19-jährigen Mary Shelley ein Jahrhundertroman: "Frankenstein". War es das kalte Wetter? Die Gegenwart des exzentrischen Lord Byron? Waren es Drogen? Nicole Strecker über die Geburt eines Monsters, das nie mehr verschwand. Von Nicole Strecker.

1816 gilt bekanntermaßen als das „Jahr ohne Sommer“. Viele verbinden mit diesem Jahr auch die sagenumwobene Gemeinschaft von Percy Shelley, seiner späteren Ehefrau Mary, ihrer Halbschwester Claire sowie dem Dichter Lord Byron und dessen Leibarzt John Polidori. Die illustre Runde versammelte sich in der Nähe des Genfersees in Lord Byrons Villa Diodati. Wegen des nicht enden wollenden Regens ließen sich die Literaturaffinen auf einen literarischen Wettstreit ein und einigten sich auf eine Schauergeschichte, die sie schreiben und schließlich vortragen sollten. Literaturhistorisch ist dieser Moment durchaus von Bedeutung: Mary Shelley erschuf ihren Frankenstein und John Polidori legte den Grundstein für seine erste, aber weniger bekannte Erzählung Der Vampyr, in der ein aristokratischer Blutsauger sein Unwesen treibt – Jahrzehnte, bevor Bram Stoker 1897 seinem adeligen Dracula Kontur verleihen würde.

Percy Byshe Shelley was a haunted man. He saw a man who looked just like him walking on the terrace and the man asked how much longer Shelley meant to be content. Days later, he stood screaming over Mary in the middle of the night about a vision of the sea rising into the house. He saw his doppelganger again standing beside Mary and strangling her. Interestingly, Jane Williams—who was staying with the Shelleys along with her husband, Edward—also reported seeing Shelley's double walking past her window and disappearing around a dead end. Edgar Allan Poe, E. T. A. Hoffman, and the psychologist Otto Rank all shared Shelley's curiosity with the doppelganger. Do we all have doubles, and, if so, what does it mean for us to come across them?

We've all heard the story of "Frankenstein's Monster." A bat shit crazy scientist wants to reanimate dead tissue and basically create a fucking zombie baby… BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU GET FUCKING ZOMBIES! Anyway, Dr. Frankenstein and his trusty assistant, Igor, set off to bring a bunch of random, dead body parts together, throw some lightning on the bugger and bring this new, puzzle piece of a quasi-human back to "life." At first, the reanimated corpse seems somewhat ordinary, but then flips his shit and starts terrorizing and doing what I can only imagine REANIMATED ZOMBIES FUCKING DO!    Mary Shelley was born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin in Somers Town, London, in 1797. She was the second child of the feminist philosopher, educator, and writer Mary Wollstonecraft and the first child of the philosopher, novelist, and journalist William Godwin.  So, she was brought into this world by some smart fucking people. Mary's mother died of puerperal fever shortly after Mary was born. Puerperal fever is an infectious, sometimes fatal, disease of childbirth; until the mid-19th century, this dreaded, then-mysterious illness could sweep through a hospital maternity ward and kill most new mothers. Today strict aseptic hospital techniques have made the condition uncommon in most parts of the world, except in unusual circumstances such as illegally induced abortion. Her father, William, was left to bring up Mary and her older half-sister, Fanny Imlay, Mary's mother's child by the American speculator Gilbert Imlay. A year after her mother's death, Godwin published his Memoirs of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, which he intended as a sincere and compassionate tribute. However, the Memoirs revealed Mary's mother's affairs and her illegitimate child. In that period, they were seen as shocking. Mary read these memoirs and her mother's books and was brought up to cherish her mother's memory. Mary's earliest years were happy, judging from the letters of William's housekeeper and nurse, Louisa Jones. But Godwin was often deeply in debt; feeling that he could not raise Mary and Fanny himself, he looked for a second wife. In December 1801, he married Mary Jane Clairmont, a well-educated woman with two young children—Charles and Claire SO MANY MARY'S! Sorry folks. Most of her father's friends disliked his new wife, describing her as a straight fucking bitch. Ok, not really, but they didn't like her. However, William was devoted to her, and the marriage worked. Mary, however, came to hate that bitch. William's 19th-century biographer Charles Kegan Paul later suggested that Mrs. Godwin had favored her own children over Williams. So, how awesome is it that he had a biographer? That's so badass.  Together, Mary's father and his new bride started a publishing firm called M. J. Godwin, which sold children's books and stationery, maps, and games. However, the business wasn't making any loot, and her father was forced to borrow butt loads of money to keep it going. He kept borrowing money to pay off earlier loans, just adding to his problems. By 1809, William's business was close to closing up shop, and he was "near to despair." Mary's father was saved from debtor's prison by devotees such as Francis Place, who lent him additional money. So, debtor's prison is pretty much EXACTLY what it sounds like. If you couldn't pay your debts, they threw your ass in jail. Unlike today where they just FUCK UP YOUR CREDIT! THANKS, COLUMBIA HOUSE!!!  Though Mary received little education, her father tutored her in many subjects. He often took the children on educational trips. They had access to his library and the many intelligent mofos who visited him, including the Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge and the former vice-president of the United States Aaron Burr. You know, that dude that shot and killed his POLITICAL opponent, Alexander Hamilton, in a fucking duel! Ah… I was born in the wrong century.   Mary's father admitted he was not educating the children according to Mary's mother's philosophy as outlined in works such as A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. However, Mary still received an unusual and advanced education for a girl of the time. She had a governess, a daily tutor, and read many of her father's children's Roman and Greek history books. For six months in 1811, she also attended a boarding school in Ramsgate, England. Her father described her at age 15 as "singularly bold, somewhat imperious, and active of mind. Her desire of knowledge is great, and her perseverance in everything she undertakes almost invincible." My father didn't know how to spell my name until I was twelve.  In June of 1812, Mary's father sent her to stay with the family of the radical William Baxter, near Dundee, Scotland. In a letter to Baxter, he wrote, "I am anxious that she should be brought up ... like a philosopher, even like a cynic." Scholars have speculated that she may have been sent away for her health, remove her from the seamy side of the business, or introduce her to radical politics. However, Mary loved the spacious surroundings of Baxter's house and with his four daughters, and she returned north in the summer of 1813 to hang out for 10 months. In the 1831 introduction to Frankenstein, she recalled: "I wrote then—but in a most common-place style. It was beneath the trees of the grounds belonging to our house, or on the bleak sides of the woodless mountains near, that my true compositions, the airy flights of my imagination, were born and fostered."   Mary Godwin may have first met the radical poet-philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley in between her two stays in Scotland. When she returned home for a second time on 30 March 1814, Percy Shelley became estranged from his wife and regularly visited Mary's father, William Godwin, whom he had agreed to bail out of debt. Percy Shelley's radicalism, particularly his economic views, alienated him from his wealthy aristocratic family. They wanted him to be a high, upstanding snoot and follow traditional models of the landed aristocracy. He tried to donate large amounts of the family's money to projects meant to help the poor and disadvantaged. Percy Shelley, therefore, had a problem gaining access to capital until he inherited his estate because his family did not want him wasting it on projects of "political justice." After several months of promises, Shelley announced that he could not or would not pay off all of Godwin's debts. Godwin was angry and felt betrayed and whooped his fuckin ass! Yeah! Ok, not really. He was just super pissed. Mary and Percy began hookin' up on the down-low at her mother Mary Wollstonecraft's grave in the churchyard of St Pancras Old Church, and they fell in love—she was 16, and he was 21. Creepy and super fucking gross.   On 26 June 1814, Shelley and Godwin declared their love for one another as Shelley announced he could not hide his "ardent passion,." This led her in a "sublime and rapturous moment" to say she felt the same way; on either that day or the next, Godwin lost her virginity to Shelley, which tradition claims happened in the churchyard. So, the grown-ass 21-year-old man statutorily raped the 16-year-old daughter of the man he idolized and dicked over. In a graveyard. My god, how things have changed...GROSS! Godwin described herself as attracted to Shelley's "wild, intellectual, unearthly looks." Smart but ugly. Got it. To Mary's dismay, her father disapproved and tried to thwart the relationship and salvage his daughter's "spotless fame." No! You don't say! Dad wasn't into his TEENAGE DAUGHTER BANGING A MAN IN THE GRAVEYARD!?! Mary's father learned of Shelley's inability to pay off the father's debts at about the same time. Oof. He found out after he diddled her. Mary, who later wrote of "my excessive and romantic attachment to my father," was confused. Um… what? She saw Percy Shelley as an embodiment of her parents' liberal and reformist ideas of the 1790s, particularly Godwin's view that marriage was a repressive monopoly, which he had argued in his 1793 edition of Political Justice but later retracted. On 28 July 1814, the couple eloped and secretly left for France, taking Mary's stepsister, Claire Clairmont, with them.  After convincing Mary's mother, who took off after them to Calais, that they did not wish to return, the trio traveled to Paris, and then, by donkey, mule, carriage, and foot, through France, recently ravaged by war, all the way to Switzerland. "It was acting in a novel, being an incarnate romance," Mary Shelley recalled in 1826. Godwin wrote about France in 1814: "The distress of the inhabitants, whose houses had been burned, their cattle killed and all their wealth destroyed, has given a sting to my detestation of war...". As they traveled, Mary and Percy read works by Mary Wollstonecraft and others, kept a joint journal, and continued their own writing. Finally, at Lucerne, lack of money forced the three to turn back. Instead, they traveled down the Rhine and by land to the Dutch port of Maassluis, arriving at Gravesend, Kent, on 13 September 1814. The situation awaiting Mary Godwin in England was packed with bullshit, some of which she had not expected. Either before or during their journey, she had become pregnant. She and Percy now found themselves penniless, and, to Mary's stupid ass surprise, her father refused to have anything to do with her. The couple moved with Claire into lodgings at Somers Town, and later, Nelson Square. They kept doing their thing, reading, and writing and entertained Percy Shelley's friends. Percy Shelley would often leave home for short periods to dodge bill collectors, and the couple's heartbroken letters would reveal their pain while he was away. Pregnant and often sick, Mary Godwin had to hear of Percy's joy at the birth of his son by Harriet Shelley in late 1814 due to his constant escapades with Claire Clairmont. Supposedly, Shelley and Clairmont were almost certainly lovers, which caused Mary to be rightfully jealous. And yes, Claire was Mary's cousin. Percy was a friggin' creep. Percy pissed off Mary when he suggested that they both take the plunge into a stream naked during a walk in the French countryside. This offended her due to her principles, and she was like, "Oh, hell nah, sahn!" and started taking off her earrings in a rage. Or something like that. She was partly consoled by the visits of Hogg, whom she disliked at first but soon considered a close friend. Percy Shelley seems to have wanted Mary and Hogg to become lovers; Mary did not dismiss the idea since she believed in free love in principle. She was a hippie before being a hippie was cool. Percy probably just wanted to not feel guilty for hooking up with her cousin. Creep. In reality, however, she loved only Percy and seemed to have gone no further than flirting with Hogg. On 22 February 1815, she gave birth to a two-months premature baby girl, who was not expected to survive. On 6 March, she wrote to Hogg: "My dearest Hogg, my baby is dead—will you come to see me as soon as you can. I wish to see you—It was perfectly well when I went to bed—I awoke in the night to give it suck it appeared to be sleeping so quietly that I would not awake it. It was dead then, but we did not find that out till morning—from its appearance it evidently died of convulsions—Will you come—you are so calm a creature & Shelley (Percy) is afraid of a fever from the milk—for I am no longer a mother now." The loss of her child brought about acute depression in Mary. She was haunted by visions of the baby, but she conceived again and had recovered by the summer. With a revival in Percy's finances after the death of his grandfather, Sir Bysshe Shelley, the couple holidayed in Torquay and then rented a two-story cottage at Bishopsgate, on the edge of Windsor Great Park. Unfortunately, little is known about this period in Mary Godwin's life since her journal from May 1815 to July 1816 was lost. At Bishopsgate, Percy wrote his poem Alastor or The Spirit of Solitude; and on 24 January 1816, Mary gave birth to a second child, William, named after her father and soon nicknamed "Willmouse." In her novel The Last Man, she later imagined Windsor as a Garden of Eden. In May 1816, Mary, Percy, and their son traveled to Geneva with Claire Clairmont. They planned to spend the summer with the poet Lord Byron, whose recent affair with Claire had left her pregnant. Claire sounds like a bit of a trollop. No judging, just making an observation. The party arrived in Geneva on 14 May 1816, where Mary called herself "Mrs Shelley." Byron joined them on 25 May with his young physician, John William Polidori, and rented the Villa Diodati, close to Lake Geneva at the village of Cologny; Percy rented a smaller building called Maison Chapuis on the waterfront nearby. They spent their time writing, boating on the lake, and talking late into the night. "It proved a wet, ungenial summer," Mary Shelley remembered in 1831, "and incessant rain often confined us for days to the house." Sitting around a log fire at Byron's villa, the company amused themselves with German ghost stories called Fantasmagoriana, which prompted Byron to propose that they "each write a ghost story." Unable to think up an account, young Mary became flustered: "Have you thought of a story? I was asked each morning, and each morning I was forced to reply with a mortifying negative." Finally, one mid-June evening, the discussions turned to the principle of life. "Perhaps a corpse would be reanimated," Mary noted, "galvanism had given token of such things." Galvanism is a term invented by the late 18th-century physicist and chemist Alessandro Volta to refer to the generation of electric current by chemical action. The word also came to refer to the discoveries of its namesake, Luigi Galvani, specifically the generation of electric current within biological organisms and the contraction/convulsion of natural muscle tissue upon contact with electric current. While Volta theorized and later demonstrated the phenomenon of his "Galvanism" to be replicable with otherwise inert materials, Galvani thought his discovery to confirm the existence of "animal electricity," a vital force that gave life to organic matter. We'll talk a little more about Galvani and a murderer named George Foster toward the end of the episode. It was after midnight before they retired, and she was unable to sleep, mainly because she became overwhelmed by her imagination as she kept thinking about the grim terrors of her "waking dream," her ghost story: "I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life, and stir with an uneasy, half vital motion. Frightful must it be; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavour to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world." She began writing what she assumed would be a short, profound story. With Percy Shelley's encouragement, she turned her little idea into her first novel, Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, published in 1818. She later described that time in Switzerland as "when I first stepped out from childhood into life." The story of the writing of Frankenstein has been fictionalized repeatedly, and it helped form the basis for several films. Here's a cool little side note: In September 2011, the astronomer Donald Olson, after a visit to the Lake Geneva villa the previous year and inspecting data about the motion of the moon and stars, concluded that her waking dream took place "between 2 am and 3 am" 16 June 1816, several days after the initial idea by Lord Byron that they each write their ghost stories. Shelley and her husband collaborated on the story, but the extent of Percy's contribution to the novel is unknown and has been argued over by readers and critics forever. There are differences in the 1818, 1823, and 1831 versions. Mary Shelley wrote, "I certainly did not owe the suggestion of one incident, nor scarcely of one train of feeling, to my husband, and yet but for his incitement, it would never have taken the form in which it was presented to the world." She wrote that the preface to the first edition was her husband's work "as far as I can recollect." James Rieger concluded Percy's "assistance at every point in the book's manufacture was so extensive that one hardly knows whether to regard him as editor or minor collaborator." At the same time, Anne K. Mellor later argued Percy only "made many technical corrections and several times clarified the narrative and thematic continuity of the text." Charles E. Robinson, the editor of a facsimile edition of the Frankenstein manuscripts, concluded that Percy's contributions to the book "were no more than what most publishers' editors have provided new (or old) authors or, in fact, what colleagues have provided to each other after reading each other's works in progress." So, eat one, Percy! Just kidding. In 1840 and 1842, Mary and her son traveled together all over the continent. Mary recorded these trips in Rambles in Germany and Italy in 1840, 1842, and 1843. In 1844, Sir Timothy Shelley finally died at the age of ninety, "falling from the stalk like an overblown flower," Mary put it. For the first time in her life, she and her son were financially independent, though the remaining estate wasn't worth as much as they had thought. In the mid-1840s, Mary Shelley found herself in the crosshairs of three separate blackmailing sons of bitches. First, in 1845, an Italian political exile called Gatteschi, whom she had met in Paris, threatened to publish letters she had sent him. Scandalous! However, a friend of her son's bribed a police chief into seizing Gatteschi's papers, including the letters, which were then destroyed. Vaffanculo, Gatteschi! Shortly afterward, Mary Shelley bought some letters written by herself and Percy Shelley from a man calling himself G. Byron and posing as the illegitimate son of the late Lord Byron. Also, in 1845, Percy Shelley's cousin Thomas Medwin approached her, claiming to have written a damaging biography of Percy Shelley. He said he would suppress it in return for £250, but Mary told him to eat a big ole bag of dicks and jog on! In 1848, Percy Florence married Jane Gibson St John. The marriage proved a happy one, and Mary liked Jane. Mary lived with her son and daughter-in-law at Field Place, Sussex, the Shelleys' ancestral home, and at Chester Square, London, and vacationed with them, as well. Mary's last years were blighted by illness. From 1839, she suffered from headaches and bouts of paralysis in parts of her body, which sometimes prevented her from reading and writing, obviously two of her favorite things. Then, on 1 February 1851, at Chester Square, Mary Shelly died at fifty-three from what her doctor suspected was a brain tumor. According to Jane Shelley, Mary had asked to be buried with her mother and father. Still, looking at the graveyard at St Pancras and calling it "dreadful," Percy and Jane chose to bury her instead at St Peter's Church in Bournemouth, near their new home at Boscombe. On the first anniversary of Mary's death, the Shelleys opened her box-desk. Inside they found locks of her dead children's hair, a notebook she had shared with Percy Bysshe Shelley, and a copy of his poem Adonaïs with one page folded round a silk parcel containing some of his ashes and the remains of his heart. Romantic or disturbing? Maybe a bit of both. Mary Shelley remained a stout political radical throughout her life. Mary's works often suggested that cooperation and sympathy, mainly as practiced by women in the family, were the ways to reform civil society. This view directly challenged the individualistic Romantic ethos promoted by Percy Shelley and Enlightenment political theories. She wrote seven novels / Two travel narrations / Twenty three short stories / Three books of children's literature, and many articles. Mary Shelley left her mark on the literary world, and her name will be forever etched in the catacombs of horror for generations to come. When it comes to reanimation, there's someone else we need to talk about. George Forster (or Foster) was found guilty of murdering his wife and child by drowning them in Paddington Canal, London. He was hanged at Newgate on 18 January 1803, after which his body was taken to a nearby house where it was used in an experiment by Italian scientist Giovanni Aldini. At his trial, the events were reconstructed. Forster's mother-in-law recounted that her daughter and grandchild had left her house to see Forster at 4 pm on Saturday, 4 December 1802. In whose house Forster lodged, Joseph Bradfield reported that they had stayed together that night and gone out at 10 am on Sunday morning. He also stated that Forster and his wife had not been on good terms because she wished to live with him. On Sunday, various witnesses saw Forster with his wife and child in public houses near Paddington Canal. The body of his child was found on Monday morning; after the canal was dragged for three days, his wife's body was also found. Forster claimed that upon leaving The Mitre, he set out alone for Barnet to see his other two children in the workhouse there, though he was forced to turn back at Whetstone due to the failing light. This was contradicted by a waiter at The Mitre who said the three left the inn together. Skepticism was also expressed that he could have walked to Whetstone when he claimed. Nevertheless, the jury found him guilty. He was sentenced to death and also to be dissected after that. This sentence was designed to provide medicine with corpses on which to experiment and ensure that the condemned could not rise on Judgement Day, their bodies having been cut into pieces and selectively discarded. Forster was hanged on 18 January, shortly before he made a full confession. He said he had come to hate his wife and had twice before taken his wife to the canal, but his nerve had both times failed him. A recent BBC Knowledge documentary (Real Horror: Frankenstein) questions the fairness of the trial. It notes that friends of George Forster's wife later claimed that she was highly suicidal and had often talked about killing herself and her daughter. According to this documentary, Forster attempted suicide by stabbing himself with a crudely fashioned knife. This was to avoid awakening during the dissection of his body, should he not have died when hanged. This was a real possibility owing to the crude methods of execution at the time. The same reference suggests that his 'confession' was obtained under duress. In fact, it alleges that Pass, a Beadle or an official of a church or synagogue on Aldini's payroll, fast-tracked the whole trial and legal procedure to obtain the freshest corpse possible for his benefactor. After the execution, Forster's body was given to Giovanni Aldini for experimentation. Aldini was the nephew of fellow scientist Luigi Galvani and an enthusiastic proponent of his uncle's method of stimulating muscles with electric current, known as Galvanism. The experiment he performed on Forster's body demonstrated this technique. The Newgate Calendar (a record of executions at Newgate) reports that "On the first application of the process to the face, the jaws of the deceased criminal began to quiver, and the adjoining muscles were horribly contorted, and one eye was actually opened. In the subsequent part of the process the right hand was raised and clenched, and the legs and thighs were set in motion."  Several people present believed that Forster was being brought back to life (The Newgate Calendar reports that even if this had been so, he would have been re-executed since his sentence was to "hang until he be dead"). One man, Mr. Pass, the beadle of the Surgeons' Company, was so shocked that he died shortly after leaving. The hanged man was undoubtedly dead since his blood had been drained and his spinal cord severed after the execution.   Top Ten Frankenstein Movies https://screenrant.com/best-frankenstein-movies-ranked-imdb/

The Victorians are often credited with ushering in our current era, yet the seeds of change were planted in the years before. The Regency (1811–1820) began when the profligate Prince of Wales—the future king George IV—replaced his insane father, George III, as Britain's ruler. Around the regent surged a society steeped in contrasts: evangelicalism and hedonism, elegance and brutality, exuberance and despair. The arts flourished at this time with a showcase of extraordinary writers and painters such as Jane Austen, Lord Byron, the Shelleys, John Constable, and J. M. W. Turner. Science burgeoned during this decade, too, giving us the steam locomotive and the blueprint for the modern computer. Yet the dark side of the era was visible in poverty, slavery, pornography, opium, and the gothic imaginings that birthed the novel Frankenstein. With the British military in foreign lands, fighting the Napoleonic Wars in Europe and the War of 1812 in the United States, the desire for empire and an expanding colonial enterprise gained unstoppable momentum. Exploring these crosscurrents, Robert Morrison illuminates the profound ways this period shaped and indelibly marked the modern world --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

„Þetta er ekki róttækur skáldskapur. Það er hægt að segja ýmislegt um hvað þetta er ekki, en þetta er allavega mjög tært ákall um gildi sem ég held að við verðum bara betri á að hafa í heiðri: náungakærleikur og trú á hið góða og fagra,“ segir Sölvi Björn Sigurðsson, rithöfundur, um kveðskap John Keats, eins höfuðskálda Englendinga á 19. öld. Hann var sjálfmenntaður í ritlist, hvorki af tignum ættum né ríkur. Hörmungakennd ævi hans var stutt, snilligáfa Keats og skáldaþroski vekur furðu enda var skáldaferillinn ekki nema rúm þrjú ár áður en hann lést 25 ára gamall úr berklum. Hann naut ekki vinsælda á meðan hann lifði, þvert á móti, fékk almennt slæma útreið gagnrýnenda samtíma síns. Það var ekki fyrr en eftir dauða hans, á síðari hluta 19. aldar, að fólk fór að endurmeta, og kunna að meta, kveðskap hans - og er hans getið meðal ekki ómerkari manna en Shelleys, Byrons og Shakespears undir lok aldarinnar.

Den så kallade alt right-högern använder antiken för att sprida misogyna idéer. Latinforskaren Anna Blennow berättar om akademikerna som tar striden och om vikten av att hålla historien levande. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Jag ser antikens människor utan att böja knä för dem. De är stora, det är sant, men de är människor som vi. Raderna ingår i en dikt som författaren Charles Perrault läste upp vid en sammankomst i Franska Akademien år 1687. Den skulle ge upphov till ett kulturbråk som kom att kallas La Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes striden mellan de gamla och de moderna. Den grekiska och romerska antiken har långt in i modern tid haft ett så totalt dominerande inflytande på Västerlandets litteratur, kultur och samhälle att det ter sig närmast obegripligt. Vid tiden för Perraults omstörtande diktuppläsning hade idén om antikens kulturella överlägsenhet knappast utmanats under de mer än tusen år som förflutit efter Västroms fall. Men nu ifrågasattes på allvar den förhärskande litterära praktiken av imitatio och aemulatio, att försöka efterhärma, och i bästa fall mäta sig med, de stora grekiska och romerska förebilderna. Vår tid är nu, i solkungen Ludvig XIV:s moderna tidevarv, menade Perrault. Två läger bildades: Les Modernes, som slöt upp kring Perrault, och antagonisterna Les Anciens där bland annat fabelförfattaren Jean de la Fontaine och dramatikern Jean Racine ingick. Debatten gällde framför allt litteraturen. Fick man till exempel redigera eller förkorta ett antikt verk för att göra det mer tillgängligt för en samtida publik? Nej, menade filologen Anne Dacier, som översatt både Iliaden och Odysséen till franska runt år 1700. Det skulle vara en total korruption av den goda smaken om man frångick en så texttrogen översättning som möjligt, ansåg hon. Antikens texter var helgade och god smak var synonym med den klassiska traditionen. Den franska striden rann så småningom ut i sanden, men antiken som ideal och modell fortsatte att spela huvudrollen i europeisk kulturdebatt. Och nu flyttades fokus gradvis från litteraturen till konsten och till identiteten, medan kompassnålen alltmer entydigt pekade mot Grekland. I den tyska nyhumanismens 1800-tal blev antiken, särskilt den grekiska, projektionsyta för idéer om en idealiserad folksjäl, Volksgeist. Arvtagarna till den grekiska folksjälen ansågs vara främst fransmän och tyskar särskilt tyskar. Arma Hellas! Sörj inte bekymrat! Lyft glad ditt gudagenomströmmade sinne! Bara du sjöng i musernas gudaskaror, Bara du härskar i människornas bröst! De tröstande verserna är författade av den tyske nyhumanisten Wilhelm von Humboldt, och anspelar på hur grekerna, trots att de besegrats av Rom, ändå behöll sitt eviga världsherravälde genom ordet och anden. 1800-talets första decennium präglades av Napoleonkrigen, något som bidrog till att man från tyskt håll identifierade sig såväl med Greklands nederlag som med dess ande. Tyskarna skulle som grekerna regera genom sin kultur, och övervinna de riken som likt Rom vilade på vapenmakt. Men under det sekel som passerat sedan den franska akademistriden hade någonting hänt. Det var inte längre någon tvekan om att den moderna tiden faktiskt var inne. Att återvända till antiken och att bli greker var inte ett alternativ, trots poeten Shelleys citat Vi är alla greker ur det lyriska dramat Hellas, inspirerat av 1820-talets grekiska befrielsekrig. Det var in i en ny tid man ville föra med sig de antika idealen. Ger hon dig inga [kyssar], så ta! Möjligen spjärnar hon emot till en början och ropar: Du stygge! men att besegras hon själv önskar i striden ändå. Det går en tämligen obruten linje från dessa rader ur Ovidius Konsten att älska till Donald Trumps mera prosaiska yttrande Jag attraheras automatiskt av vackra kvinnor jag börjar bara kyssa dem. Jag väntar inte ens. (I am automatically attracted to beautiful women I just start kissing them. I dont even wait). Tillbaka till antiken, alltså, även om Trump inte uttryckligen anspelat på de historiska rötterna till sin utsaga. Det gör däremot representanterna för flera nätbaserade amerikanska mansrörelser, med namn som Red Pill och the Manosphere, knutna till de politiska grupperingar långt ut på högerkanten som brukar kallas Alt-Right, och som fått stor spridning bland annat via sociala medier som Facebook. Klassicisten Donna Zuckerberg kartlägger deras antikbruk i boken Not all dead white men (Inte alla döda vita män) från 2018. Gemensamt för dessa grupper är att de uppfattar feminism och jämlikhetstankar som ett akut hot mot den biologiskt betingade manlighet som är väsensskild från standardiserad kvinnlighet. Den moderna tiden har gått för långt och motmedlet blir att ställa tillbaka klockan till antiken. Framför allt från stoisk filosofi hämtas utsagor om hur förnuft och rationalitet är det som skapar världen. Därifrån är steget inte långt till nästa slutsats: män är mer lämpade att leda och regera än känslostyrda kvinnor, och patriarkal kontroll såsom den utövades under antiken är nödvändig såväl offentligt som privat för allas bästa. Men Alt-Right-männens tolkning motsäger till viss del den antika stoicismens idé. Även kvinnor ansågs i teorin kunna nå vishet, och ha del i logos, förnuft. Stoicismen ses därför ibland som proto-feministisk, men som Zuckerberg visar hittar man likväl hos antika stoiska författare som Seneca och Cicero idéer om att kvinnor är svagare och har mindre självkontroll än män. Alt-Right-männen bidrar alltså indirekt, genom Zuckerbergs analys, till att sätta antikens texter i ett nytt och avslöjande ljus. Även den ny-manliga gruppen pick-up artists, vars game är att förföra så många kvinnor så snabbt och effektivt som möjligt, hämtar sina kärnvärden från antiken. Ovidius kärlekshandbok ses av dem som en perfekt manual, även om den ofta råder till handlingar som idag skulle betraktas som sexuella övergrepp. Brist på samtycke är bara ett hinder till för att forceras. Genom ett utbrett bruk av krigsmetaforer blir kvinnor fienden som ska besegras. Månen såg det hända men vände bort sin blick Bortom skydd från stjärnor Jag vet, jag vet stjärnorna skiter väl i mig Nattens sista timme Jag andas knappt, jag ligger still, men jag längtar bort Texten kommer från Jenny Wilsons skiva Trauma, som tillkommit just i traumat efter en våldtäkt. Raderna drabbar mig med dubbel kraft när jag ser det tematiska släktskapet över nästan tretusen år med ett av Sapfos diktfragment: Månen har gått ned nu och plejaderna. Midnatt är passerad. Tiden rinner och jag ligger ensam. Jag har alltid läst Sapfos rader som fridfulla, om än i ensamhetens smärtsamma skugga. Vi vet ingenting om bakgrunden till dikten, och det kommer vi aldrig att få veta. Men Jenny Wilsons ord öppnar ett bråddjup under diktens fötter och får de båda ögonblicken, då:ets och nuets, att lysa än starkare och skoningslösare. Det är inte från antiken vi kan få svar på vad som är rätt och fel. Men händelser i modern tid kan öppna för nya historiska perspektiv. När Alt-Right-rörelsens ensidiga antiksyn snabbt sprids via nätet är det viktigare än någonsin att läsa de antika källorna för att fördjupa diskussioner om genus och identitet istället för att förenkla eller förvränga. Nättidskriften Eidolon, som Donna Zuckerberg ger ut, verkar för precis detta. En motrörelse som komplicerar och analyserar istället för att oreflekterat sprida myter, till skillnad mot vad som sker på exempelvis Facebook som för övrigt grundats av hennes bror.

*J.D. and Ethel Shelley wanted a better home for their children. They were crammed into a small apartment in downtown St. Louis, but had saved enough money to buy a nice, two apartment building in a quiet neighborhood in north St. Louis called the Greater Ville. However, racially restrictive covenants barred the Shelleys, who were black, from owning the home. So in 1945 a white realtor bought the home from the Kraemers, who were white, and then quickly signed the deed over to the shelleys. When the Kraemers found out, they filed a lawsuit to get the Shelleys kicked out. The case made its way up the  U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in 1948 that enforcing restrictive such racial restrictive covenants was unconstitutional in St. Louis and the rest of the country. And while historians may get the facts and significance of the case right, there are details and human truths that are best expressed by family members. On this episode, Kameel and Tim listen to the descendants of J.D. and Ethel Shelley tell the story of their family’s place in American history. *

För 200 år sedan utkom en av de allra första sci-fi-skräckromanera: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Boken var skriven av en tonårig Mary Shelley som befann sig mitt uppe i en artonhundratalsversion av Paradise hotel. Många har ansett det märkligt att ett så ungt intellekt uppdrömt denna fasansfulla historia. Men var det egentligen så märkligt? Genushistoriepodden tar en närmare titt på Shelleys liv fram till Frankensteins födelse och intervjuar även Johan Ehn som skrivit pjäsen Frankenstein som går upp på Playhouse Teater i mars. Inspelat live på Teater Barabara 20/1 2018

Contrary to what you might suspect from my location this week and the steady stream of silly videos from Anstruther , this podcast is not anything to do with the Fence Collective or Haarfest. Actually, apart from a few brief intrusions from my pile of audio cassettes (a lot of time in the van, you see) this is generally just the usual stream of music news and new bits and pieces from my inbox.  Actually, I am way behind my inbox at the moment, due to a week of holiday and now a week in Anstruther, and things aren't likely to get any better either, what with... oh never mind, you hear enough of my whining as it is.  Tunes... 01.

Horace Walpole and then Anne Radcliffe appeared to have triggered an anti-enlightenment movement: the Gothic that swept in Coleridge, two Shelleys, Byron, the Brontés, Walter Scott and Dickens, innumerable painters and architects, and even designed the Palace of Westminster itself.In 1765 Horace Walpole bewitched an unprepared public with the first ever Gothic novel The Castle of Ottranto. The poet Thomas Gray complained the novel made him “afraid to go to bed o' nights”, and wind swept battlements, mysterious apparitions and armour that goes clang in the night has haunted the dungeons of popular culture ever since. But Gothic is more that novels, and from under its swirling cassock the Gothic Revival in architecture became the state style for an Empire, and the high camp of The Monk reached the acme of seriousness under the influence of John Ruskin. So how did the Gothic style manage to both sensationalise the public and form, quite literally the pillars of the establishment? Any why does a style forged in the spectral shadows of the Ages of Enlightenment still hold so such a secure position in popular culture today.With Chris Baldick, Professor of English at Goldsmiths College, London and author of In Frankenstein's Shadow; A N Wilson, novelist, biographer, journalist and author of God's Funeral; Emma Clery, senior lecturer in the English Department at Sheffield Hallam University and author of The Rise of Supernatural Fiction.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the ideals, exponents and legacy of Romanticism. In the space of a few years around the start of the nineteenth century the Romantic period gave us: Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Burns, two Shelleys, Keats, De Quincey, Carlyle, Byron, Scott… the list goes on and on. And the poems: The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, Ode to a Nightingale, Tintern Abbey, Ozymandias, Don Juan… they make up some of the best known and most enjoyed works of literature in the English language. How do we explain what seems to be an extraordinary explosion of talent? Were the Romantics really a movement with their own philosphy and ideals? And when its adherents often died so tragically young, and its poems often seem so steeped in nostalgia and so wrapped in the transcendental, is Romanticism really good for you in a modern world? With Jonathan Bate, Professor of English, University of Liverpool; Rosemary Ashton, Professor of English, University College London; Nicholas Roe, Professor of English, University of St Andrews.
