Bara den som gör sig till ett öga kan bli sedd. Kristoffer Leandoer ser hur en romantisk poet blev stor genom att försvinna. 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.Tidigt på morgonen lördagen den 26 oktober 1816 vandrar den tjugoårige romantiske poeten och läkarstudenten John Keats tvärs genom London från Warner Street till sin bostad intill Guy's Hospital i Southwark – enligt kartan i min dator en 53 minuters promenad söderut över Themsen. Det är en vacker höstmorgon, solen förgyller Londons spiror och tak och han har mycket att tänka på efter en natt tillbringad med läsning ur en lånad dyrgrip, folioutgåvan av George Chapmans klassiska Homerosöversättning.Chapman var Shakespeares samtida och hans ambition var att göra Homeros på engelska till ett diktverk i egen rätt, att som han själv sade ”öppna Poesin med Poesi”.Chapman ville besvara dikten, med andra ord, och medan han promenerar börjar Keats i sin tur formulera ett eget gensvar på nattens läsning. Vad är det han varit med om? Det känns som han varit ute på en mycket lång resa: Jag färdats kring i mången gyllne traktoch skådat månget praktfullt kungarikeoch öar västerut förutan likedär barder böjt sig för Apollos makt. Så börjar, i Gunnar Hardings svenska tolkning, den sonett som Keats komponerar i huvudet under sin vandring och skyndar sig att fästa på papper vid hemkomsten – fjorton rader som han genast skickar till föregående kvälls värd, som får den innan klockan ens hunnit bli tio på förmiddagen. Keats skrev alltid snabbt: vid ett tillfälle åstadkom han i vittnens närvaro en regelmässig sonett på mindre än en kvart.Men vad är det för resor han talar om?Visserligen skulle han bara några år senare dö vid Spanska trappan i Rom, men vid det här tillfället har Londonpojken ännu aldrig varit utomlands, de praktfulla kungariken och gyllne trakterna har han bara sett i sitt eget huvud, de är vad som brukar kallas läsefrukter, det vill säga samarbeten mellan den egna fantasin och orden man läser. Ingen har skildrat den komplicerade mentala process som läsandet innebär lika målande som Keats i denna dikt, ”On First Looking into Chapman's Homer”, som på svenska fått namnet ”Min första blick i Chapmans Homerosöversättning”. Med några få ord visar han hur läsaren blir medskapande genom att bära med sig sin förkunskap och sin förväntan till mötet med texten. Och mången skön berättelse jag hördeom mörkögde Homeros och hans länder,men fick först andas doften av hans strändernär Chapmans starka stämma dit mig förde. Till denna subtila växelverkan, där läsaren skriver boken och boken skriver läsaren, bidrar att det är en översättning, det är alltså inte alls Homeros egna ord som står i centrum för upplevelsen utan främst vilka signalsubstanser de frigör inne i John Keats. Det landskap som breder ut sig för den tjugoårige skaldens inre syn är varken homeriskt eller londonskt, det boken skriver i honom är något tredje, helt nytt; en värld som inte funnits förrän nu. Det är också som upptäckare han beskriver sig, det hans blick mött i den gamla folieutgåvan var inte dammiga bokstäver utan nya världar och en ny ocean: Det var som när en stjärnskådare fårsyn på en ny planet på himmelen,eller som Cortez när hans örnblick nårut över Stilla havet, och hans mäni vild förväntan runt kring honom ståri tystnad på ett berg i Darien. Strax efter att ha författat denna rymdodyssé på bara fjorton rader bestämmer sig Keats för att hoppa av sina läkarstudier, slänga bort fyra års utbildning och döma sig själv till ett liv i ekonomisk osäkerhet. Han förklarar beslutet med att han ”besitter Förmågor som är större än de flesta människors”.Det är ett nyktert konstaterande, inte det minsta skrytsamt. Keats hade en ovanligt klar syn på sig själv och visste hur dessa Förmågor bäst skulle sättas i arbete. Hans egen term för detta var ”negative capability”, negativ förmåga.Det vill säga att göra sig själv till ingen, tömma sig själv och uppgå i en annan varelse: ”Om en sparv visar sig utanför mitt fönster tar jag del i dess existens och börjar picka i gruset … på ytterst kort tid tillintetgörs mitt eget jag.”Hans orubbliga självförtroende som poet grundade sig i vetskapen om denna förmåga till självförglömmelse. ”Det slog mig genast”, förklarar han, ”vilken egenskap som krävs för att skapa en Framstående Människa & som Shakespeare besatt i så enormt hög grad – jag menar Negativ Förmåga, det vill säga när en människa har förmågan att vara kvar i osäkerhet, Gåtor, tvivel, utan att göra något irriterande försök att sträcka sig efter fakta & förnuft.”Sinnesintryck hellre än ideologi och tankar. Se hellre än veta. Se med andras ögon hellre än sina egna, eftersom de egna är inställda på det de redan känner till.”Låt oss öppna våra blad som blommor och bli passiva och mottagliga”, säger han. ”Jag lever i ögat, och min egen fantasi erkänner sig överträffad och får vila.”Keats säger det gång på gång: det viktiga är att inte ha någon personlighet, att inte ta plats själv. Man skriver inte, man blir skriven. Man läser inte, man blir läst. Bara den som gör sig till ett öga kan bli sedd. Han väljer de minsta och gråaste varelserna för att förklara skapandets processer, en sparv eller en spindel:”Det tycks mig att nästan varje Människa likt Spindeln utifrån sitt eget inre kan spinna sitt eget rymliga Citadell”, säger han. ”Jag tänker inte inbilla mig att en Människa kan vara jämlik med Jupiter, utan tänker att hon borde vara riktigt nöjd som ett slags köks-Merkurius, eller till och med som ett enkelt Bi.”Poeten är den mest opoetiska varelsen i hela skapelsen, eftersom poeten saknar egen Identitet och måste fyllas av någon annan Kropp. Solen, Månen, Havet är poetiska och äger egna oföränderliga attribut – poeten äger ingenting eget. Livet är ett högst tillfälligt lån, det vet han bättre än någon. Existensen är så overklig att tanken på dess overklighet gör honom full i skratt.I sitt allra sista brev sörjde han den sinnliga världen. Men det är en yrkesmans och hantverkares sorg över all omsorgsfullt förvärvad kunskap som nu går förlorad, kunskapen om ”kontrastverkan, ljus och skugga, all denna information som är nödvändig för en dikt.”Det Keats visste var att vägen till sinnevärlden faktiskt går genom orden, om man nu råkar vara försedd med en mänsklig hjärna. Vi vet för mycket. Att läsa och skriva är det sätt vi har att befrias från det vi vet och möta det vi inte vet.Bara ord kan kortsluta ord och öppna nya världar, nya gyllne trakter.Kristoffer Leandoerförfattare, kritiker och översättareLitteraturGunnar Harding: Där döda murar står – Lord Byron och hans samtida.

In this captivating episode of The Wandering Pilgrims, we journey back to the tumultuous 17th century to uncover the inspiring life of Benjamin Keach, a pivotal figure in religious history. Born on February 29, 1640, in Stoke Hammond, England, Keach's early years were shaped by the fervent faith of his family and the chaotic backdrop of the English Civil Wars. At just 15, a profound conversion ignited his passion for preaching, leading him to share his convictions in Winslow.As the political landscape shifted with the restoration of the monarchy, Keach faced severe persecution for his nonconformist beliefs, notably after publishing the revolutionary children's catechism, The Child's Instructor. His arrest marked a significant moment, but rather than retreating, Keach boldly preached from the pillory, exemplifying his unwavering commitment to his faith. Amidst the broader European upheaval, Keach's resilience and courage shone brightly.Relocating to London in 1668, Keach became a pastor in Southwark, where he introduced congregational hymn singing into Baptist worship—an act that sparked intense debates yet ultimately transformed worship practices. His prolific writing, including influential works like Tropologia and Exposition of the Parables, made complex theological concepts accessible to the ordinary believer, emphasizing practical applications of faith.Join us as we explore Keach's enduring legacy, from his contributions to hymnody to his role in the adoption of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith. His life not only reflects the challenges of his time but also serves as a testament to the power of conviction and the impact one individual can have across generations. As we navigate through Keach's remarkable journey, we gain insight into the resilience required to uphold one's beliefs amidst adversity.Support our mission:▪️ Buy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/wanderingpilgrims▪️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheWanderingPilgrims▪️ Shop: https://shop.thewanderingpilgrims.com/▪️ Our Website: www.thewanderingpilgrims.comConnect with us here:▪️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewanderingpilgrims/▪️ Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/The-Wandering-Pilgrims-581206039071736/

June 1381- and the peasants revolts slams into London… but what really happened on those crowded and violent streets. The Story of London finally gets to examine the opening part of a terrible few days, where we see far from being angry yokels falling upon an unsuspecting city, rather it is the residents of London who use this as an excuse to settle old scores. From neighbour turning on neighbour in Southwark, from the suburbs of Smithfield, to the Temple and the Savoy, London erupted in flame and destruction, as buildings were set alight, torn down and people murdered.Yet what role did the Mayor and Aldermen play in all of this? Stalwarts opposed to the violence? Secret facilitators? Or men trying to thread an impossible needle, desperately seeking to stay one jump ahead of the terrible violence?

El escritor Charles Dickens nació en 1812, en el seno de una familia de clase media que atravesó dificultades financieras como consecuencia de los derroches de su padre, John. Sin embargo, su situación se agravó con el encarcelamiento de este último en 1824 en Marshalsea, una cárcel situada en Southwark, Londres. Charles, que por aquel entonces tenía doce años de edad, se vio obligado a empeñar su colección de libros, abandonar la escuela y comenzar a trabajar en una fábrica sucia e infestada de ratas en la que se producía betún para calzado. El cambio radical de vida le produjo «una profunda ira social y personal» que influyó en gran medida en su manera de escribir y en su perspectiva, de acuerdo con el biógrafo Michael Slater.

Rob unpacks the troubling situation surrounding the North Peckham Heating Network in Southwark, South London regarding the exorbitant estimated heating bills faced by residents, exemplified by a case where a tenant received a shocking annual bill of over £5,000 due to the communal heating system. KEY TAKEAWAYS Residents in the North Peckham heating network are facing exorbitant heating bills, with one individual receiving an estimated annual bill of over £5,000 due to the communal heating system. Communal heating networks are not covered by Ofgem's energy price cap, allowing providers to charge unregulated prices for gas, which can lead to significantly higher costs for tenants. The heating systems in question are classified as commercial, despite serving residential buildings, resulting in a price discrepancy that negatively impacts residents. The current energy policy in the UK is criticised for being ineffective and not responsive to geopolitical challenges, contributing to rising energy costs and dissatisfaction among residents. There is a call for improved regulation of heat networks to protect residents from high costs and ensure that energy policies serve the needs of the public effectively. KEY TAKEAWAYS "His estimated bill for the year was 5,094 pounds and 17 pence. That's a lot... that is absolutely ludicrous." "Heat networks don't really work from a cost efficiency point of view. They just don't at the moment." "Why are these things classed as commercial systems, if you're dealing with residential buildings?" "The underlying issue here is that there are a lot of challenges within the energy sector at the moment, they're not going to go away anytime soon." "We need to have more cohesive and joined up thinking and we're not going to get that with this current policy."

Edward Jones is the co-author, along with the late Christopher Woodward, of the Guide to the Architecture of London, which, originally published in 1983, is now in its fifth edition and has become the definitive guide book of the subject. In 2017 the guide book became the basis of an app - called the London architecture Guide, and one of the Architecture Foundation's most ambitious projects. earlier this year a range of entries was added by Jones alongside a new generation of authors, and it was on this occasion that we met to talk about the guide book's legacy and its evolution. “What matters hugely to me is that architecture has a role to play in public life. That's what this book is about - to celebrate excellence in architecture, and to be somewhat critical of things we don't argee with…there should be a debate about architecture in the city” – Edward JonesShow notes: Arcades, the history of a building type by Geist, Johann Friedrich (1983)College City, Colin Rowe (1978)John Rocque's map of London, Westminster and Southwark (1746)London The Unique City by Steen Eiler Rasmussen (1934)Gilbey House, Serge Chermayeff, London, 1937Scaffold is an Architecture Foundation production, hosted by Matthew Blunderfield.

One of the most famous executions in London during the medieval period was that of William Wallace, the great hero of Scottish indepedence. And yet, there was more to his execution… why was he dragged all the way TO London to be killed? And why were the great and the good of the City so heavily involved in seeing him to his grisly fate? These questions, plus the building of medieval Southwark's most famous inn, the White Friars being the victim of a vicious smash and grab robbery and the death of King Edward I, all coming up in this episode…

It is a frequent misconception that people from Shakespeare's lifetime believed the world was flat. In fact, the publication of the world on a spherical globe was not only well established across Europe by Shakespeare's lifetime, but there are numerous portraits from the 16-17th century showing individuals owning and displaying spherical globes. The first English person to create a spherical globe published it in 1592, just 7 years before William Shakespeare chose “The Globe” as the name for his newly relocated circular theater in Southwark. Here today to walk us through the history of displaying the Earth as a globe, the artisans who undertook this task, the materials they used, and where they got their data to map out the world on a giant physical ball, is our guest, Sylvia Sumira.   Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Peder Lindell talks "Descendants: The Rise of Red", becoming a pilot, and that time his height made him lose a role! About Peder: American actor and overall thrill seeker Peder Lindell has had a stunning rise in the entertainment industry that has continued to collect momentum. This actor/aviator/daredevil launched into the professional world of entertainment at just eleven years old, starring as Billy Ray in the Jungle Theater's production of "On Golden Pond" in Minneapolis. This impressive debut led to his Broadway Reimagined performance in "Gypsy" at the Pantages Theater, earning him accolades from across the Broadway World as "a fine young actor.” Within the last year, Peder's career has reached new heights. Lindell has joined Disney's widely beloved franchise, "The Descendants," as Morgie, the son of Morgana Le Fay, in the highly anticipated film "The Descendants: The Rise of Red." He traveled to Montana to take on the groundbreaking role of Gus in the state's first queer skateboarding film, "Scraps," produced by Colton Underwood. Back in Los Angeles, he gripped audiences in the role of Jason in his university's stage revival of "Bare: A Pop Opera.” Peder's talents extend far beyond the stage and screen. He took to the skies at just sixteen and is now an instrument-rated commercial pilot. He owns a Grumman Tiger prop plane, his beloved "sky convertible," which embodies his thrill-seeking nature. His interests are both diverse and daring. His adventurous spirit is reflected in his athletic prowess: a Division III ice hockey player at Loyola Marymount University, he has excelled in soccer, wrestling, diving, baseball, skateboarding, rock climbing, and snow and water sports. Lindell is certified in emergency first response and as an advanced rescue scuba diver, his daredevil streak also extends to the arts of parkour, combat, and stunt training. He's actively training for his skydiving certification, aspiring to perform his own stunts like his idol, Jackie Chan.

On the podcast this week, Mark Oakley reflects on “Love (III)” by George Herbert. This episode was first posted last year as part of the Church Times Poetry Podcast for Lent series. “Over my years of reading Herbert, I have come to see him as the poet who most expresses our relationship with God as a friendship,” Mark says. “Friendship requires courage enough to stop skating so quickly over our own thin ice in case we disappear through the cracks. Instead, we face the fact that we need support and connection and that, also, we have much to give as well.” The material in this podcast is taken from Mark Oakley's book The Splash of Words (Canterbury Press), winner of the 2019 Michael Ramsey Prize for Theological Writing. The Very Revd Dr Mark Oakley is the Dean of Southwark. Artwork by Emily Noyce.

Why do some places feel full of spiritual meaning and some feel desolate? There is a rich understanding of place in the Bible, which is full of stories of the surprising places where God is encountered, often interwoven with hospitality and welcoming the stranger. Andrew Rumsey will explore what place means in our spiritual lives, in the search for meaning and identity, in the Bible, as well as in our own local neighbourhoods, parishes, city and nation. The Right Revd Dr Andrew Rumsey is the Bishop of Ramsbury and was formerly the vicar of Gipsy Hill in the Diocese of Southwark. He is also a musician and poet, who in 2023 released an album, Evensongs. His latest books are 'Parish: An Anglican Theology of Place' and 'English Grounds: A Pastoral Journal'.

Author and passionate genealogist William "Bill" Cole was in the Chapter House studio to talk more about his latest book, Puritans, Plagues, and Promises. You'll want to listen to our part 1 podcast and part 2 podcast if you haven't already. That conversation covered Bill's ancestors and their involvement in the Puritan Movement, which was an important piece of Christian history. Along the way, we also talked about King Henry VIII, the Church of England, the dreaded "Star Chamber," and religious freedom. Here in Part 3, we talk about his ancestors in the families Cole, Clarke, and Collier. Bill describes his ancestors' lives in Southwark, where London Bridge meets the south bankside of the River Thames. Bill's 9th great-grandmother, born Jane Yates in 1587, survived 4 plagues and 17 childbirths. William Collier, Jane's husband, was a successful merchant who invested in the Mayflower and supported Plymouth Colony. Bill describes Mayflower's troubled voyage and his two ancestors on the ship who helped establish Plymouth Colony. This offers a rare glimpse of the Mayflower story from of two sides: the passengers and the investors. His two Mayflower ancestors, Stephen and Constance Hopkins, were joined by the Collier family and the Cole brothers in Plymouth Colony in the 1630s. Trials, tribulations, political turmoil, economic incentives including land ownership, and religious freedom all intersect with the promises offered by life on a pristine continent. It's a story that's both personal and yet sweeping in the scope of English and American history. Join us!

Goldilocks, Robin Hood, Little Bess of Bromley, Moll Frith were star performers on the bear baiting circuit in Elizabethan England. New evidence of bear bones uncovered in archaeological digs and over 1,100 accounts in letters and documents from the period, are being studied in a research project called Box Office Bears. Andy Kesson delves into bears' impact on the literary culture of the time and asks if bear baiting was not so much a sporting contest as a staged spectacles akin to contemporary wrestling. Hannah O'Regan explains how bear bones found in archaeological digs in Southwark's theatre land reveal the animals' stressful lives and she suggests that the scary, fighting bears of our cultural imaginary are strikingly different from the playful, conflict defusing bear of real life. Were they unfairly typecast? Hannah O'Regan is Professor of Archaeology and Palaeoecology at the University of Nottingham and Principal Investigator in the BOB Project. She has excavated on sites in the UK, Israel and South Africa. Her current research interests include human-non-human animal interactions (particularly bears). Andy Kesson is a Reader in Renaissance Literature at the University of Roehampton and Co-Investigator in the BOB project. He was the principal investigator for Before Shakespeare, and is working with the theatre maker Emma Frankland on a production of John Lyly's Galatea which he discussed in an episode of Free Thinking called Galatea and Shakespeare https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001kvpk. He has recently explored a multitude of bears in early modern plays. Box Office Bears: Animal baiting in early modern England, is a project bringing together researchers from the Universities of Nottingham, Roehampton and Oxford and project partner Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) https://boxofficebears.com/about/ Dr Emma Whipday is a Lecturer in Renaissance Literature at Newcastle University and an expert in Shakespeare, early modern literature, women's history, theatre history, and the history of the home and family . Her current book project, Subordinate Roles, explores the cultural importance of the brother-sister relationship and the place of the unmarried woman in early modern society. She's a BBC/AHRC New Generation Thinker on the scheme which promotes research on the radio.

Author and passionate genealogist William "Bill" Cole was in the Chapter House studio to talk about his latest book, Puritans, Plagues, and Promises. It'd be a fascinating enough-- and historically consequential-- story if it was about someone else's ancestors. But that the tale involves his own family and an important piece of Christian history makes Bill's story all the more remarkable. In this first of what we hope will be several conversations, we talk about King Henry VIII, the Church of England, the dreaded "Star Chamber," and religious freedom. Join us!

Peter Everett is my special guest here to discuss the shocking corruption he uncovered in a London morgue. Get his book Corrupt Bodies on Amazon. In 1985, Peter Everett landed the job as Superintendent of Southwark Mortuary. In just six years he'd gone from lowly assistant to running the UK's busiest murder morgue. He couldn't believe his luck.   What he didn't know was that Southwark, operating in near-Victorian conditions, was a hotbed of corruption. Attendants stole from the dead, funeral homes paid bribes, and there was a lively trade in stolen body parts and recycled coffins.   Set in the fascinating pre-DNA and psychological profiling years of 1985–87, this memoir tells a gripping and gruesome tale, with a unique insight into a world of death most of us don't ever see. Peter managed pathologists, oversaw post mortems and worked alongside Scotland Yard's Murder Squad – including on the case of the serial killer, the Stockwell Strangler.   This is a thrilling tale of murder and corruption in the mid-1980s, told with insight and compassion.
