In this episode of our naval fiction series, we step beyond the age of Nelson and into the turbulent world of the late nineteenth century—a period when sail gave way to steam, wooden warships became ironclads, and naval technology advanced at a pace that left entire generations struggling to keep up. It was an age of empire, innovation and uncertainty, offering one of the richest backdrops imaginable for maritime storytelling.My guest is Antoine Vanner, creator of the acclaimed Dawlish Chronicles, a thirteen-volume series following naval officer Nicholas Dawlish through a rapidly changing world of iron warships, diplomatic crises, espionage and imperial rivalry. We discuss why the Victorian navy remains such fertile ground for fiction, how real historical events—from China and Constantinople to Korea, Sudan and Paraguay—shape his stories, and why the decades before the First World War were among the most dramatic in maritime history.Drawing on a lifetime spent working across Africa, the Middle East and beyond, Antoine explains how personal experience informs his writing, helping him capture not just the mechanics of naval warfare, but the realities of leadership, danger, politics and human resilience. Along the way, we explore Victorian geopolitics, technological revolution, moral ambiguity, literary influences ranging from Dickens and Thackeray to Trollope and Gissing, and the enduring appeal of naval fiction itself.This is a fascinating conversation about history, storytelling and an era poised between the world of sail and the modern age—a world where the future was arriving at full speed and nobody quite knew where it would lead.

William Makepeace Thackeray's "Book of Snobs" offers a keen exploration of social pretension, revealing how snobbery permeates all classes and can be examined like a subject in natural science. Through eloquent and illustrative prose, Thackeray positions himself as the author destined to dissect this phenomenon, highlighting its historical significance and its presence in everyday life. The themes of social hierarchy and the absurdities of human behavior resonate powerfully today, reminding listeners of the timeless nature of vanity and the quest for status. This insightful work not only entertains but also prompts reflection on the societal structures that continue to shape our interactions.

Mette a confronto continuamente la parabola di due giovani donne all'interno di un perimetro e un milieu molto ben definito: la società vittoriana londinese nel contesto economico del diciannovesimo secolo, ovvero quello del nascente consumismo, indotto dai commerci coloniali che procuravano nuove merci di lusso da sfoggiare e accumulare in patria per le classi più abbienti. Si tratta di una società basata sull'economia dello sguardo ovvero sull'essere osservati e sull'osservare gli altri per invidiarli, per imitarli, per sbarazzarsi di loro.Leggi l'approfondimento completo su insidebooks.it (CONTENUTI EXTRA E FONTI BIBLIOGRAFICHE) https://ileniazodiaco.insidebooks.it/p/satira-attuale-fiera-della-vanita-william-thackeray-analisi

Nous sommes en 1933. Paul Morand, écrivain et diplomate, qui sera épinglé plus tard pour sa proximité avec le régime de Vichy, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, publie une sorte de récit de voyage consacré à Londres. On peut y lire : « A leur amour de l'excentricité seul, on peut déjà juger que les Anglais sont un grand peuple. Tout l'univers, écrasé par le « comme-il-faut », le « déjà-vu », les impératifs publicitaires de la radio, aplati sous les modes absurdes qu'invente le haut commerce, accepte mollement des idées, des vêtements ou des opinions politiques toutes faites, mais à Londres, l'air semble plus léger lorsqu'on a la chance de rencontrer, dans les rues de Saint James, un de ces personnages, hélas de plus en plus rares, que Thackeray nomme « un caractère ». Tel Lord Petersham, qui coupait lui-même ses vêtements et fabriquait son cirage, goûts simples qui ne l'empêchaient pas toutefois d'avoir trois cent soixante-cinq tabatières, une par jour de l'année. Ou Lord Egerto, chez qui la table était toujours mise à douze couverts pour ses douze chiens, lesquels d'ailleurs portaient des bottes (…). La même année, Edith Sitwell, poétesse, essayiste, née dans le Yorkshire, fait de ses considérations sur ces « English Eccentrics », elle écrit : « L'excentricité est un fait particulier aux Anglais, tout spécialement selon moi parce qu'ils sont convaincus de leur propre infaillibilité, emblème et patrimoine de la nation britannique ». Au XXe siècle, l'excentricité des élites britanniques dépasse largement les mondanités, elle est un nouveau souffle. Comment s'exprime-t-elle ? Pénétrons dans un monde qui nous paraît « so bizarre » … Avec nous : Thierry Coudert « Anglais excentriques » ; Tallandier.

A Victorian Miscellany Selected and edited by Thomas W. Parrott Read by Denis Daly During the Victorian era many authors tried their hand at a range of literary genres, including poetry. Many of the authors whose work is represented in this collection are famous for their activity in other genres, eg. Macaulay as a historian, Stevenson as a writer of classic adventure novels, John Henry Newman as a theologian and Kingsley and Thackeray as novelists. The most notable contributors who are known primarily as poets are Arnold and Swinburne. While Victorian verse is often less elegant and graceful than the lyric productions of earlier centuries, it has a distinctive note of earnestness and humanistic charm. Contents 1 - Introduction by Thomas W. Parrott 2 - 3 poems by Matthew Arnold 3 - 4 poems by Walter Savage Landor 4 - The Sea by Bryan Wallace Proctor 5 - The Battle of Naseby by Thomas Babington Macaulay 6 - 3 poems by Elizabeth Barrett Browning 7 - The End of the Play by William Makepeace Thackeray 8 - 2 poems by Charles Kingsley 9 - 2 poems by Dante Gabriel Rossetti 10 - Riding Together by William Morris 11 - 3 poems by Algernon Charles Swinburne 12 - 2 poems by Robert Louis Stevenson 13 - Lead Kindly Light by John Henry Newman 14 - Recessional by Rudyard Kipling The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://www.audible.com/pd/A-Victorian-Miscellany-Audiobook/B0G2F9VWCT

Episode 192 - To Sir WIth Love (1967) "If you must play these filthy games, do them in your homes, and not in my classroom!" Set against the vibrant, swinging backdrop of 1960s London, To Sir, With Love is a timeless feel-good classic that radiates warmth and optimism. The film stars the legendary Sidney Poitier as Mark Thackeray, an unemployed engineer who takes a temporary teaching position at a rough-and-tumble East End school.   At first, the situation seems impossible. The students are rowdy, rebellious, and determined to drive their new teacher away just as they did the others. But Thackeray refuses to quit. In a pivotal, triumphant moment, he literally throws the textbooks into the bin and changes the rules. He decides to treat these "delinquents" not as children, but as adults, demanding nothing but mutual respect and dignity.   What follows is a delightful transformation. Through honest conversations about life, survival, and personal pride—and a charming class trip to a museum—the friction melts into friendship. The students, including the tough Denham and the spirited Peg, begin to blossom, realizing that Thackeray is the champion they never knew they needed.   The film culminates in the iconic end-of-term dance, a scene overflowing with joy and 60s style. When Lulu takes the stage to belt out the soaring title track, it captures the emotional peak of the story perfectly. It is a celebration of growth, gratitude, and the human connection. Ultimately, To Sir, With Love is a shining reminder that patience and kindness can change lives, leaving the audience cheering for the teacher who taught his students how to face the world.

One match that resulted in a home win (rare), and an incompetent referee allowing unprofessional behaviour from the opposition, making the spectacle a tedious waste of ST money (far less rare) up for discussion.

你听到的是跳岛「读懂金钱」付费系列节目的第二期试听片段，「读懂金钱」付费专题目前只在小宇宙app和网易云音乐上线。如果你对我们的内容感兴趣，欢迎你在这两个平台付费支持我们！ 19世纪的英国，一个新的概念悄然兴起——“经济学人”，也就是以完全追求物质利益为目的而进行经济活动的人。这一永远理性、终极利己的形象，很快成为了庞大经济理论中的基础假设。 很少有人提到的是，几乎与此同时，同样是在英国，现代小说也从上天入地、刀山火海的骑士传奇中分化出来，坠入账单、婚嫁、租房、还贷的现实世界。 这是巧合吗？浪漫故事中的纯爱少女们怎么就成为要面包不要爱情的经济主体了？本期节目，美国布朗大学比较文学博士、英国文学研究者肖一之将从《鲁滨逊漂流记》《傲慢与偏见》《名利场》等经典作品入手，解析“经济学人”如何登上历史舞台，如何演变，又如何反映出我们所处时代的困境。 当理性计算逐渐成为时代主流，小说家们发现自己越来越难以构想替代性的叙事。或许，重温这些故事，也是在提醒我们思考一个难以回避的问题：在一个拜金的世界里，除了成为经济学人，我们还有别的活法吗？ 【本期主播】 肖一之 译者、文学研究者，上海外国语大学英语学院讲师，美国布朗大学比较文学博士。 主要研究19世纪与20世纪早期英国文学、比较文学、全球思想史、文学与科学。译有英国作家福特·马多克斯·福特著“队列之末”四部曲后两部、美国作家 E.B.怀特散文集《论希望》、英国作家马丁·艾米斯短篇小说集《爱因斯坦的怪兽》等作品。 【时间轴】 02:00 罗曼史 vs 小说：从浪漫骑士传奇到账单、进货、租房子 08:09 小说是堕落世界的圣歌，被上帝抛弃的世界的史诗 10:00 理性？算计？利己？到底什么是经济学人？ 16:00 《鲁滨逊漂流记》：真不好意思承认，被困荒岛后还是想搞钱 22:00 《傲慢与偏见》：闺蜜嫁给了被我拒绝的相亲丑男？ 37:50 《名利场》：怎样一毛钱不花，过上一年好日子？ 50:00 《米德尔马契》：如果能继承一大笔遗产，谁还想努力呢？ 63:00 《我们共同的朋友》：当英国霸道总裁冒充保镖爱上做保洁的我 75:42 19世纪纯爱战士狄更斯的高呼：光有理性是没用的，真爱拯救世界！ 78:20 《新寒士街》：不把文化理想当生意，还能活下去吗？ 91:00 《霍华德庄园》：站在金钱之岛，双脚才能不被生活的海浪拖走 104:44 来自弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的辩白：为什么要想谈文学反而更应该谈钱？ 【节目中提到的人名和作品】 人物 拜伦（Lord Byron）：英国浪漫主义诗人、革命家，代表作《唐璜》。 安妮·伊莎贝拉·米尔班克（Anne Isabella Milbanke）：英国教育改革家和慈善家，诗人拜伦之妻，人称拜伦夫人。 埃达·洛夫莱斯（Ada Lovelace）：英国数学家，作家，诗人拜伦的唯一婚生子女。她是第一位主张计算机不只可以用来算数的人，也发表了第一段分析机用的算法，被公认为世界上第一位程序员。 简·奥斯丁（Jane Austen）：英国现实主义小说家，以《傲慢与偏见》《理智与情感》闻名，描绘女性在金钱与爱情之间的理性抉择。 格奥尔格·卢卡奇（György Lukács）：匈牙利马克思主义哲学家和文学理论家，代表作《历史与阶级意识》《小说理论》，提出“小说是被上帝抛弃的世界的史诗”。 黑格尔（G.

Thackeray's comic masterpiece, 'Vanity Fair', is a Victorian novel looking back to Regency England as an object both of satire and nostalgia. Thackeray's disdain for the Regency is present throughout the book, not least in the proliferation of hapless characters called George, yet he also draws heavily on his childhood experiences to unfold a complex story of fractured families, bad marriages and the tyranny of debt. In this episode, taken from our Close Readings podcast series 'Novel Approaches', Colin Burrow and Rosemary Hill join Tom to discuss Thackeray's use of clothes, curry and the rapidly changing topography of London to construct a turbulent society full of peril and opportunity for his heroine, Becky Sharp, and consider why the Battle of Waterloo was such a recurrent preoccupation in literature of the period.To listen to the full episode, and all our other Close Readings series, subscribe:Directly in Apple Podcasts: https://lrb.me/applecrnaIn other podcast apps: https://lrb.me/closereadingsnaSponsored Links:'Wahnfried' at Longborough Festival Opera: https://lfo.org.uk/ Hosted on Acast.
