Stefan Collini, FBA. Professor Emeritus of Intellectual History and English Literature, University of Cambridge.The Donald Winch Lectures in Intellectual History.University of St Andrews. 11th, 12th & 13th October 2022.In the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, universities expanded to include a wide range of what came to be regarded as academic ‘disciplines'. In Britain, the study of ‘English literature' was eventually to become one of the biggest and most popular of these subjects, yet it was in some ways an awkward fit: not obviously susceptible to the ‘scientific' treatment considered the hallmark of a scholarly discipline, it aroused a kind of existential commitment in many of those who taught and studied it. These lectures explore some of the ways in which these tensions worked themselves out in the last two hundred years, drawing on a wide range of sources to understand the aspirations invested in the subject, the resistance that it constantly encountered, and the distinctive forms of enquiry that came to define it. In so doing, they raise larger questions about the changing character of universities, the peculiar cultural standing of ‘literature', and the conflicting social expectations that societies have entertained towards higher education and specialized scholarship.Handout - Lecture 3: Syllabuses1. ‘“English”, including Anglo-Saxon and Middle English along with modern English, including what we ordinarily call the “dull” periods as well as the “great” ones, is an object more or less presented to us by nature.'2. ‘In the 1880s, an exciting duel between two great publishing houses brought the price of the rival National and World Libraries (Cassell's and Routledge's, respectively) down to 3d in paper and 6d in cloth. And not only were prices cut: the selection of titles was greatly enlarged, the old standbys - Milton, Pope, Cowper, Thomson, Burns, Goldsmith, and the rest - being joined by many other authors who had seldom or ever appeared in cheap editions.'3. ‘Sir John Denham (1615-1668) is familiar from the oft-quoted couplet in his poem of Cooper's Hill, the measured and stately versification of which has been highly praised. He died an old man in the reign of Charles II, with a mind clouded by the sudden loss of his young wife, whom he had married late in life. John Cleveland (1613-1659), author of the Rebel Scot and certain vigorous attacks on the Protector, was the earliest poetical champion of royalty. Butler is said to have adopted the style of his satires in Hudibras. Colonel Richard Lovelace (1618-1658) ....'4. ‘Poetry: More advanced poems from Chaucer (e.g. The Prologue), Shakespeare, Spenser, Milton, Pope, Wordsworth, Tennyson, or from selections such as The Golden Treasury; Shakespeare, (Histories, Comedies or easier Tragedies). Prose: Plutarch's Lives, Kinglake, Eothen, Borrow, Lavengro, Ruskin, Sesame and Lilies, Frowde [sic; ?Froude], selected short studies, Modern prose Comedies (e.g. Goldsmith and Sheridan), Selections from British Essayists (e.g. Addison, Lamb, Goldsmith), Macaulay, Essays or selected chapters from The History.'5. ‘In the 1930s favourite Higher Certificate set books and authors among the various Boards include: The Faerie Queene, Marlowe's Faustus, Bacon's essays, Sidney's Apologie for Poetrie, Hakluyt, The New Atlantis, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Milton, Lamb, Carlyle, Pope, Dryden, Scott and the Romantic poets. These texts and authors changed hardly at all between 1930 and 1950 (and represent a very similar situation to that of 1900-1910).'6. ‘An Honours Degree in English Language and Literature at present entails, in every University in England, some knowledge both of Latin or Greek at the outset, and of Old English later.'

In the early morning hours of July 4, a massive flash flood occurred along the Guadalupe River, taking the lives of over 130 people, including a number of children from a Christian camp. Tragedies such as this raise the question, why would a good and loving God allow such an event? Dr. Paul Pettit of Dallas theological seminary joins host Don Hawkins to discuss the topic.

TISHA B'AV: A DAY OF FASTING AND MOURNINGThis coming Saturday evening, August 2nd, the Jewish people will be observing Tisha B'Av. The name Tisha B'Av means "the Ninth of Av," Av being the fifth month in the Jewish calendar. It coincides with the months of July and August in the Gregorian calendar and is a day set aside for fasting, mourning, the reading of Scripture and prayer. It commemorates a number of tragedies that befell the Jewish people throughout their history.The observance of Tisha B'Av is nowhere commanded or instructed in the Scriptures, but reference to its observance by the Jewish people is found in the prophet Zechariah. In chapter 7 we read:"In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Kislev. The people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-Melech, together with their men, to entreat the Lord by asking the priests of the house of the Lord Almighty and the prophets, 'Should I mourn and fast in the fifth month (the month of Av), as I have done for so many years?" (Zechariah 7:1-3; cf. vs.5, 8:19) The rabbis taught that the Jewish people experienced five tragedies on Tisha B'Av: the expulsion of the Jews from Israel by the Babylonians in 586 BC, the destruction of the Temple by the Babylonians in 586 BC and then by the Romans in 70 AD, the fall of the city of Betar in 135 BC which ended the third Jewish revolt against Rome and the plowing of the city of Jerusalem by the Romans following the crushing of the rebellion.Despite all the tragedies and anguish the Jewish people have experienced at so many times and in so many places, Tisha B'Av is observed with a sense of hope. On Tisha B'Av the book of Lamentations is read and we are reminded:"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.' The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord...Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven...I called on your name, O Lord, from the depths of the pit. You heard my plea: Do not close your ears to my cry for relief. You came near when I called you, and you said, 'Do not fear.' O Lord, you took up my case; you redeemed my life." O daughter of Zion, your punishment will end; he will not prolong your exile...You, O Lord, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation...Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old..." (Lamentations 3:22-26; 3:40-41, 55-58; 4:22; 5:19, 21)YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/Iap9WWAVKfsSend us a text

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe discusses the significance of Tisha B'Av, the ninth of Av, a day of mourning in the Jewish calendar commemorating the destruction of both Temples and other tragedies. He explains that during the month of Av, joy is minimized but not eliminated, as the obligation to remain joyful persists. The episode delves into the historical context of the spies' negative report about the Land of Israel, which led to the Jewish people's unwarranted crying, prompting God to decree future suffering on this date. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that Tisha B'Av is a time to feel the pain of the Almighty and the Jewish people, reflecting on the loss of the Temple as a means to connect with God, who resides within us, not merely in a physical structure.Rabbi Wolbe connects historical tragedies to modern pain, such as the ongoing hostage crisis in Gaza and the loss of nearly 900 soldiers, urging listeners to empathize with others' suffering and God's “homelessness” due to the Temple's absence. He cites the Talmud's teaching that a generation without a rebuilt Temple is as if it destroyed it, calling for small, intentional steps to bring godliness into daily life—through mitzvahs, Torah study, or kindness—to rebuild the spiritual Temple. The episode concludes with a prayer that this Tisha B'Av be the last, hoping for a rebuilt Temple and a renewed connection to God for all Jews seeking their heritage.Recorded at TORCH Studios (C) to an online TORCHzoom.com audience on July 18, 2025, in Passaic, New Jersey.Released as Podcast on August 3, 2025_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

How do you navigate running your business during times of tragedy? Every year brings moments that stop us in our tracks—world events that flood our feeds, shaking us to the core. The challenge for entrepreneurs is how to balance our human need to grieve with the responsibility to show up for our clients and business. This is something every entrepreneur faces at some point, and it's one of the hardest parts of running a business.   In this episode, I share my personal experience of running a business through multiple tragedies, including the emotional toll of world events. With over 10 years in business, I've had my share of grieving moments, some that lasted for days, others that lingered for months. But I've also had to maintain a business that supports employees, serves thousands of people, and honors my commitment to clients. This episode is about finding a way to hold both grieving with humanity and fulfilling your professional obligations.   If you want to start making serious money as a coach, you need to check out 2k for 2k.

This shocking news comes from a reliable source who previously revealed the return of Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers), Maxie Jones' (Kirsten Storms) leave of absence, and the death of Natalia. The source suggests a significant death may be imminent, despite it being unconfirmed.  The GH LEAK sees Monica Quartermaine, portrayed by the late Leslie Charlson for nearly five decades, is allegedly the first character to exit the show. This news follows the off-screen mentions of Monica's illness, subtly preparing fans for the inevitable. The second death revolves around another legendary actress, Denise Alexander, who played Leslie Webber until her passing in March this year. Leslie's death is expected to reopen the door for a Cassadine character, potentially Nicholas Cassadine (Adam Huss) or Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez).  The General Hospital leaker reveals that Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) will meet a tragic end due to extensive WSB storyline rewrites. This news might disappoint fans as Brennan's character has been gaining popularity. The leaker also hinted at a fourth significant death, but it remains heavily under wraps.  The Soap Dirt podcast made the Top 100 List for Apple Podcast's Entertainment News Category.

In today's In Other News segment, Marc, Kim & Ethan dive into the absurd and unbelievable—from Pittsburgh's annual “Balls Out Bowling” nudist event (yes, it's real) to a court decision blocking a rule that would've finally made canceling gym memberships and subscriptions as easy as signing up. Kim vents about her own impossible-to-cancel magazine, while Marc blasts corporate gamesmanship. Then, a California woman's home becomes a dumping ground for hundreds of unwanted Amazon returns thanks to a shady Chinese vendor. Wrapping up, the crew reacts to the sad yet avoidable story of an elderly Florida man killed trying to save a turtle on a highway—along with a blunt PSA from Marc: don't swerve for animals on the road. It's bizarre, it's real, and it's all in the latest In Other News.

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Dr Jeremy Boulter, Comrades Marathon Race Doctor, following a gruelling and emotional 98th edition of the iconic race. While tens of thousands of runners took on the ultra-marathon with the support of a vast Netcare medical team, the day was marked by tragedy, with two fatalities and several medical emergencies. Dr Boulter shares insight into the behind-the-scenes response efforts, from 1 a.m. until the final runner crossed the line and addresses difficult questions: Was the team prepared for everything that came their way? What can runners learn from this year's heartbreaks? The conversation also touches on the harrowing case of Moira Harding, the runner found in critical condition a day after the race. With years of experience, Dr Boulter offers a sobering but essential reflection on what worked, what didn’t, and how future races can be made safer for all. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

This week on Wine Chats, we're diving into the darker side of weddings with an episode that's as tragic as it is gripping. Settle in as we explore shocking stories of brides and grooms who died on their wedding day.Listener warning: This episode deals with death and tragic circumstances. Please listen with care.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITLife truly is like a box of chocolates—or as I prefer to say, a carnival ride where you should buckle up for the unexpected. Today's journey takes us through some shocking medical revelations that might forever change how you think about "safe" procedures.The heart of our discussion centers on the disturbing reality behind LASIK eye surgery, where what's marketed as 95-99% safe has reportedly led multiple people to take their own lives after suffering debilitating complications. We explore the heartbreaking cases of a young police officer and a TV meteorologist who couldn't endure the constant pain and vision problems following their procedures. With claims of at least 40 suicides connected to LASIK complications, serious questions emerge about FDA approval processes and whether profit motives outweigh patient safety.From there, we take a strange detour into a case of Army Rangers suspended for firing blanks during a pirate festival (not nearly as dangerous as headlines suggest) and a bizarre incident involving a fashionable New York woman who stabbed a photographer for accidentally capturing her image. But we end on a hopeful note with New York City's inspiring "anti-loneliness club" for seniors—a beautiful initiative where older adults share remarkable life stories while building community and fighting the isolation that often accompanies aging.What home remedies did your family swear by growing up?

We're on a break at the moment to get married and enjoy a bit of time either side of our wedding, but, to fill the gap, this is the second of two new compilation episodes containing a trio of stories from across our earlier series. We have entitled this episode Three Tragedies, because these stories all involve the impacts of loss – be that the loss of an idea, the loss of a way of living, or the loss of a person whose absence has rippled across time ever since. They include our second-lap Devon story, Kitty Jay's Grave, our recent Essex story, The Rage of Boudica, and our rather sad ghost story from our Series 6 Leicestershire episode, Route 616 – so have a hanky ready if you're inclined to get weepy.We really hope you enjoy them, and we'll be back on Monday with our next County Episode all about the history and folklore of Wiltshire, which will be the first of 'The Final Five' episodes marking the end of our second lap all around England's 39 historic counties!The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Marc, Kim, Sue, Ethan, and Drew tackle the wildest stories of the day. They break down a new musical about alleged murderer Luigi Mangione—featuring none other than Sean “Diddy” Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried. The crew debates whether 100 unarmed men could take down a gorilla (spoiler: probably not), covers a tragic golf cart accident linked to John Elway, celebrates Sammy Hagar's new Las Vegas residency, and gives a shoutout to Silver Dollar City for being named the best theme park in the U.S.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITSomething's seriously wrong with our work culture when investment bankers are literally working themselves to death. A Milwaukee firm recently forced junior employees into crushing 110-hour workweeks, resulting in hospitalization and organ failure. These young professionals faced 20-hour days and couldn't leave their desks even after pulling all-nighters without facing reprimands. This isn't an isolated incident either – the financial industry has seen multiple deaths linked to 100+ hour workweeks, highlighting a deadly crisis hiding in plain sight.Meanwhile, our justice system continues to baffle with its inconsistencies. A 19-year-old college student who allegedly firebombed a Tesla dealership with Molotov cocktails has been released from federal custody despite terrorism-related charges. The reason? To continue receiving gender-affirming care. The judge overruled prosecutors who argued this individual posed a serious public safety threat, prioritizing the suspect's medical needs over potential community danger. This comes as FBI agents who participated in Black Lives Matter protests by taking a knee have faced professional consequences through demotions and transfers.The episode wraps with a tragic story involving NFL legend John Elway, whose agent Jeff Sperbeck died after falling from a golf cart Elway was driving. The 62-year-old suffered a traumatic brain injury and couldn't be saved despite medical intervention. The incident is under investigation by local authorities, leaving Elway devastated by the sudden loss of his longtime associate. These stories collectively highlight how institutions, from corporations to our justice system, often make decisions that leave us questioning their priorities and values.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the most energetic, varied and innovative playwrights of his time. Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) worked across the London stages both alone and with others from Dekker and Rowley to Shakespeare and more. Middleton's range included raucous city comedies such as A Chaste Maid in Cheapside and chilling revenge tragedies like The Changeling and The Revenger's Tragedy, some with the main adult companies and some with child actors playing the scheming adults. Middleton seemed to be everywhere on the Jacobean stage, mixing warmth and cruelty amid laughter and horror, and even Macbeth's witches may be substantially his work.WithEmma Smith Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Hertford College, University of OxfordLucy Munro Professor of Shakespeare and Early Modern Literature at Kings College LondonAnd Michelle O'Callaghan Professor of Early Modern Literature at the University of ReadingProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Swapan Chakravorty, Society and Politics in the Plays of Thomas Middleton (Clarendon Press, 1996)Suzanne Gossett (ed.), Thomas Middleton in Context (Cambridge University Press, 2011)R.V.

Armed American Radio, gun rights, Florida State University shooting, Second Amendment, gun control, evil, political agenda, self-defense, Ryan Petty, Mark Walters Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio's Daily Defense, host Mark Walters discusses the recent shooting at Florida State University with guest Ryan Petty, a Parkland father. They explore the implications of gun violence, the political responses to such tragedies, and the ongoing debate surrounding the Second Amendment. The conversation emphasizes the reality of evil in society and the importance of self-defense rights. As news unfolds about the FSU shooting, they critique the immediate calls for gun control and reflect on the failures of past legislation. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to support their rights and remain vigilant against tyranny. Takeaways Evil is a real and present danger in society. Political agendas often exploit tragedies for their own gain. Gun control measures do not effectively prevent violence. The Second Amendment is crucial for self-defense. Legislation cannot replace personal responsibility for safety. The media often highlights mass shootings while ignoring defensive gun uses. Tragedies like the FSU shooting highlight the need for armed presence in schools. The Parkland bill did not prevent further violence at FSU. Understanding the nature of evil is essential for personal safety. Support for the Second Amendment is vital in combating tyranny. titles Evil and Gun Control: A Real Conversation The Reality of Gun Violence in America Florida State Shooting: A Call to Action Understanding Evil: The Need for Self-Defense Political Agendas and Tragedies: A Discussion
