For the latest podcast Ali caught up with returning guest Olga Wojtas to talk about the latest in her Miss Blaine's Prefect series of novels, Miss Blaine's Prefect and the Parcel of Rogues.Olga explains the unusual premise of the series, and exactly who Miss Blaine's Prefect, aka Shona McMonagle, is, and how she came to find herself (spoiler alert - not really) travelling time.The two then discuss why Olga set this latest book in Enlightenment Edinburgh, writing about, and subverting, real historical characters including Robert Burns and Walter Scott, as well as other Enlightenment figures such as Adam Smith, Joseph Black, Henry Mackenzie, and Adam Ferguson, and why she wanted to investigate this time and place in particular.They also talk about the changing face of Edinburgh as a city over the centuries, before Olga details the research behind the novel and what she learnt about her home city.It's always a pleasure to have a chat with Olga who is great company, and we hope this comes across in this episode. If you aren't yet a fan of Miss Blaine's Prefect then we hope this will convince you to get acquainted. And if you are already a regular reader then this will remind you why, and, as an enticement to listen to the end, we also get to learn a little more about Miss Blaine herself!For full details, and all the ways to listen, head over to scotswhayhae.com

Madame Bovarys problem brukar ofta härledas till hennes romanläsande, oförmågan att skilja fiktion från verklighet. Men det är som skuldsatt konsument vi kan börja förstå henne, säger Jimmy Vulovic.

Först sänd 2019-12-04.Innan Emma Bovary dör ber hon om att få sin spegel. Blicken riktas in i den kallt ärliga ytan. En människas viktigaste allierade är den som förr eller senare visar sig i spegeln. Det tror jag hon inser där och då. Tårarna faller. Sedan kastar hon sig tillbaka i sängen för att med en djup suck slutligen dö. Arsenik. Hon tog giftet för att fly ett liv som hon aldrig fick men länge låtsades leva. Och liksom fordringarna för det illusoriska liv hon levt kom döden till slut, obevekligt, likt ett fult ansikte upphöjt ”som en skräckbild i de eviga mörkren”. Emma dör mycket olycklig. ”Känn dig själv”, viskar hennes tragiska historia fortfarande mellan raderna i Gustave Flauberts Madame Bovary från 1856.Visdomen stod ristad i förhallen till Apollontemplet i Delfi. Därifrån har den ekat genom vår historia. Sokrates, den ogudaktige förledaren av ungdomen, gjorde filosofi av den. Inför Atens anklagande blickar så insisterade han på att självkännedom och ett rättfärdigt liv var allt han någonsin önskat uppnå. Sokrates vägrade under rättegången att be om nåd, vägrade att anpassa sig efter vad den dömande staden förväntade sig. Dödsstraff. Och giftkalken som han svepte tydliggjorde en konfliktlinje mellan individens vilja och samhällets krav. Sokrates var ett undantag. Han var ett tvärtom jämfört med oss andra. Ekot av hans visdom passerar därför, trots alla våra goda intentioner och instämmande nickningar, oftast förbi döva öron.Madame Bovarys problem brukar ofta härledas till hennes romanläsande, oförmågan att skilja fiktion från verklighet. Ännu ett eko av den vises röst i hennes exempel. Det är i verkligheten, inte i fiktioner och nedtecknade ord, som svaren finns. Så sade Sokrates. Men Emmas problem är större än romaner, mycket större. Hela hennes liv är konsumism, en fiktion så god som någon annan. Hon lånar liv istället för att leva sitt eget. Romanläsning är bara en del i det livsmönstret. När Emma Bovary dag efter dag ser på Game of Thrones och olika feelgood-serier, nej, så är det naturligtvis inte, men om romanen skrivits idag skulle hon nog ha gjort det. Men väl när hon läser de historiska romanerna av Walter Scott och alla möjliga kärleksromaner, så gör hon det inte för att få se och känna sig själv utan tvärtom för att fly bort från sig själv.De återkommande äktenskapsbrotten är också en del i det konsumtionsmönstret. Med exempelvis den unge älskaren Léon konsumerar hon helt ohämmat kärleken, eller i alla fall en bild av kärlek och bekräftelse som står skriven i böckerna, tills hon känner att han tröttnat på henne. Då tröttnar också Emma på honom och möter ”i äktenskapsbrottet den tristess som hör äktenskapet till”. Deras konsumtionsvärde för varandra minskar helt enkelt. Men allt det där är hanterbart. Det är bara att gå vidare. Emma vet att maken Charles förlåter. Hon kan hantera honom. Däremot förmår hon inte att hantera det mest konkreta och ödesdigra resultatet av sin konsumentnatur: krediter, skuldebrev och reverser.Då Emma går under beror det inte på romaner eller på att någon älskare har avslöjats, utan på att konsumtionslånens fälla till slut slår igen. Berättarrösten ger uttryckligen med orden ”det vill säga pengarna” läsaren den egentliga orsaken till hennes ohållbara situation. Romanen är en studie i skuldsättning, en berättelse om ett liv i lånta fjädrar. Och då återbetalningskraven hopar sig bortom all hanterbarhet tar Emma till den för skuldsatta lika ofta använda som desperata strategin att förtränga allt. Men kroppen minns: ”Hon kände nu som en molande och allomfattande värk i kroppen. Och det hände ofta att Emma fick stämningshandlingar, papper med stämplar, som hon knappt tittade på. Hon hade helst inte levt längre, eller fått sova ständigt.”Romanen Madame Bovary kan litteraturhistoriskt delvis beskrivas som en tidig naturalistisk fallstudie om vad som händer då en människa med vissa givna individuella förutsättningar hamnar i en specifik miljö. I det här fallet en av konstromantiken präglad drömmare som får den moderna kapitalistiska ordningens alla kreditmöjligheter till sitt förfogande. Om vi istället beskriver berättelsen med en mer välbekant senkapitalistisk terminologi skulle den kunna liknas vid det tidiga konsumtionssamhällets Lyxfällan. Fast utan hopp i slutet förstås. Emma Bovary är ett exempel på det som socialpsykologen Erich Fromm har kallat homo consumens, alltså den människa som i den kapitalistiska världens ständigt ökande och till synes oändliga konsumtionsvalmöjligheter lever sitt liv, eller i alla fall iscensätter det, genom konsumtion av berättelser och varor.Berättarrösten fångar träffsäkert, genom den unge älskaren Léons blick under ett hett kärleksmöte, hur Emma både iscensätter sig själv och också tolkas som något annat än den hon egentligen är: ”Tack vare sitt skiftande humör, ömsom hemlighetsfullt, ömsom glättigt, pladdrigt, tystlåtet, hänfört, nonchalant, kunde hon väcka minnet av tusen lustar hos honom, frammana instinkter och hågkomster. Hon var den förälskade kvinnan i alla romaner, hjältinnan i alla dramer, det obestämda hon i alla diktböcker.” Ett obestämt hon är väl så långt bort man någonsin kan komma ifrån det själv som både Sokrates och Gustave Flaubert vill att vi ska lära känna. Författaren visar sig vara visare än den vise då han illustrerar att det inte ens behövs någon litteratur för att fångas i fiktioner. Emma Bovary är nämligen långt ifrån ensam om oförmågan att se världen för vad den är och att hantera den därefter. Romanen är full av illusioner och det resulterar i slutänden alltid i mycket smärta. Exempelvis förmår heller inte Charles att se Emma för den hon är och de behov hon har. Hans ständiga idealisering av henne, upphöjandet av henne på piedestal, kan vid en första anblick få honom att framstå som underlägsen. Så ser inte Emma det. Istället inser hon att de ständiga förlåtelserna tvingar henne att ”underkasta sig hans storsinthet” och det gör henne rasande. Hon är hjälplöst fångad i den roll som hon har tilldelats i livet, fångad i äktenskapet och i den bild av henne som maken Charles gärna konsumerar.Homo consumens föds ur fångenskap, otillfredsställelse och passivitet. Det som först framstår som aktivitet, det vill säga att välja mellan likartade saker, ger konsumenten en illusion av frihet och makt samtidigt som det på ett behagligt vis döljer inre tomhet och ensamhet. Emma Bovary passar in i mönstret. Läsaren kan ana det djupa mörkret under hennes agerande. Men hon är inte ensam om det. Från och med den realistiska romanen är skönlitteraturen full av personer som, liksom de flesta av oss, är storkonsumenter av varor och drömmar, fiktioner. Den är full av personer som egentligen bara gör det som konsumtionssamhället förväntar sig av dem. Genom romanerna kan vi, trots den vises varning för litteraturen, ta lärdom. Sokrates och Emma närmar sig visserligen giftet från skilda håll, den ene för att hålla fast vid sin individ och den andre för att fly sin individ. Ändå förenas de då priset för att leva i ett samhälle präglat av illusioner till slut måste betalas.Jimmy Vulovic, litteraturforskare

At the court of a French princess in the middle of the 12th century, an obscure poet named Chrétien de Troyes would begin to write and distribute fanciful stories of the Knights of the Round Table. In doing so, he would propel the figure of King Arthur to an unforeseen level of fame and create the medium of fiction as we know it. Following the previous discussion of earlier lore surrounding Arthur, and his potential historic basis, this episode of Gladio Free Europe explores the literary development and legacy of the Arthurian Romance. Liam and Russian Sam pick up with the release of Britain's first bestseller, Geoffrey of Monmouth's fanciful Homeric pseudo-history, Historia Regnum Britanniae. As this book and its account of King Arthur spread across Europe, many derivative texts would be composed in prose and verse, sometimes elaborating further on King Arthur and his court. During the reign of King Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, whose vast territories included England and half of France, the brilliant court poet Chrétien de Troyes would synthesize the matter previously chronicled by Geoffrey and his predecessors with the poetic and heroic traditions of France. In Chrétien's five Arthurian stories, the tone and themes of the older Song of Roland would be applied to the deeds of Arthur and his knights to create a genre of literature entirely its own. The works of Chrétien and his followers would illustrate the chivalric values idealized by the aristocrats of the high and late Middle Ages. King Arthur's knights are valiant fighters, but also passionate lovers, merciful Christians, and fully-realized humans, exhibiting an interiority not seen in any European literature since classical antiquity. The chivalric romance would spread out of the French-speaking courts of England and France into popular circles across Europe, leaving a mark on the literature of Norway, Italy, Islamic Andalusia, and the Jewish diaspora. Chivalric romance, and Arthurian stories in particular, would become Europe's first tradition of popular fiction and remain eminently popular until the end of the chivalric age itself. These stories were read not only for entertainment, but also for moral instruction. For good or ill, chivalric ideals such as courtly love and the knightly quest would impact the real behavior of the medieval warrior elite.  By the later Middle Ages, Arthurian stories would become more solemn and meditative, particular in Arthur's own land of Britain. After the carnage of the Wars of the Roses, a knight and prisoner named Thomas Malory would compose Le Morte Darthur, a sprawling biography that would become the most famous Arthurian work of all time. Written without any of the whit and whimsy as earlier French stories, this text would effectively conclude the chivalric romance tradition and define the legacy of King Arthur for centuries. Following a long period of neglect, artists and aesthetes in the Victorian age began to reappraise the works and values of the Middle Ages, with particular attention to the mournful chronicle of Thomas Malory. Writers such as Walter Scott and Alfred Tennyson would create new works in the chivalric tradition. Arthurian and medieval scenes would be of sudden interest to the painters of the 19th century, in particular the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood that included John William Waterhouse. This Victorian medievalism took many forms, and was at times associates with earnest progressive politics as well as deeply reactionary yearning for an imagined period of innocent morality and unquestioned hierarchy. Although Chrétien may not be a household name (unless your household is the French royal court) his contributions are everywhere. In all popular division, but in particular the modern genre of medieval fantasy, the images and themes first popularized by Chrétien de Troyes would rise again, as was prophesied of King Arthur himself.

Hoy tenemos programa nuevo sobre "El Pirata", una obra donde Walter Scott convierte las islas Orcadas en un territorio donde la naturaleza dicta el destino de quienes la habitan. El viento del norte, las mareas imprevisibles y los acantilados que parecen observar en silencio crean una atmósfera en la que cada decisión pesa más que la anterior. En ese paisaje nace la figura del pirata Cleveland, un hombre atrapado entre la ley y la libertad, entre la tierra firme y el mar que lo reclama. La novela mezcla aventura, misterio y romanticismo histórico, pero lo hace con la elegancia narrativa que caracteriza a Scott: personajes complejos, secretos familiares, tensiones morales y un entorno que no es decorado, sino fuerza viva. El Pirata es una historia donde el mar no solo acompaña la trama, sino que la escribe, la moldea y la juzga. Mirad si moldea que hasta ha moldeado como daremos algunas de las secciones hoy. Un viaje literario hacia el norte, donde la aventura no depende de grandes batallas, sino de la lucha íntima entre identidad y destino. Esperamos que el programa os guste LOCUTOR: Miguel A.

When the supernatural seeps into our world, it doesn't just leave behind fear—it can also leave sickness. From shadowy visitors to ominous dreams, some eerie paranormal encounters suggest that the price of witnessing the unknown may be paid in flesh and blood.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/SupernaturalSicknessREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/hp3ua63cFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: When the supernatural intrudes into our lives, it's not just our minds that are affected. We'll delve into a few bizarre cases where individuals fell gravely ill after brushes with the paranormal. Is it coincidence? Or something more sinister? And could these illnesses be due to the paranormal literally draining us of life? (Supernaturally Sick, Paranormally Poisoned) *** Helen Duncan made a living from conducting séances—until her uncanny knowledge of classified World War II tragedies spooked British authorities. (Britain's Last Witch) *** Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher whose ideas about mortality and utility extended beyond death. Bentham's wish for his body to be preserved and displayed as an "auto-icon" – so it could be seen publicly by all. And while his wishes were granted, it came with a few hiccups along the way… mostly with his poor head. (The Strange Story of Mr. Bentham's Corpse) *** Annie Dorman was discovered lifeless with a gunshot wound, sending shockwaves through her tight-knit community. Suicide seemed improbable, leaving detectives baffled and family perplexed. Was it a crime of passion, an accident, murder… or truly suicide? In a similar case, just a few years later, in the serene countryside of Greenwich, New York, the lifeless form of Maggie Hourigan is found, floating in a tranquil pool, speculation runs rampant. Were these cases suicide, as hastily concluded, horrible accidents… or sinister murders?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 17, 2024Weird Darkness gathers five accounts in this episode: people who fell gravely ill within days of a paranormal encounter, two unsolved deaths of young women in the late nineteenth century, a wartime medium jailed for witchcraft, a philosopher who arranged to have his own corpse put on permanent display, and the private oddities of history's most famous figures.It opens with the argument that anemia and anorexia-like wasting can follow a paranormal encounter within hours or days. The Franciscan monk Joseph McCabe, who died in 1955, catalogued dozens of people who developed anemia soon after nighttime visits he blamed on the Mesopotamian demons Lilu and Lilitu. Albert Bender, the Bridgeport, Connecticut man who launched the Men in Black mystery in the early 1950s, endured migraines, stomach pain, memory lapses, and sharp weight loss after three phantom figures ordered him to drop his UFO research, then recovered, married, and lived to 94. In 1982, a fourteen-year-old named Robbie watched a flat black shadow crawl across his bedroom ceiling in Beckenham, Kent, was hospitalized with meningitis, and months later collapsed from acute anemia. Jim Harpur opened his door to two black-eyed children outside Orlando, Florida in March 2008 and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes three weeks afterward. In Nova Scotia, Michelle came down with severe ulcerative colitis two days after a vivid Slenderman dream in January 2017. The longest case belongs to Alison, a seventeen-year-old in Texas who shed roughly twenty pounds in six weeks in 1998 while a tall, pale Woman in Black appeared at her bedside each night, starting days after she and two friends used a Ouija board; sea salt and sage spread through the house ended the visits, and she recovered.From there, the episode turns to two deaths that juries could not explain. Maggie Hourigan, a 19-year-old servant in Greenwich, New York, was found floating face-down in a roadside pool on October 20, 1889; a first autopsy by Dr. S. Walter Scott ruled drowning and suicide, but a second team found a head wound inflicted before she entered the water, and Dr. Scott later sued the New York Sun for libel over its coverage and won a $6,000 settlement. Eight years later and a state away, 18-year-old Annie Dorman was found shot dead in her half-brother John Dorman's farmhouse near Cobb's Creek, Philadelphia, on September 1, 1897; the rusty pistol that killed her sat unused on a high shelf the five-foot-tall victim could not reach without standing on furniture that had not been moved, it had been fired five times, and the coroner ruled she was shot by a person unknown.Next comes Helen Duncan, the Scottish medium nicknamed Hellish Nell, who produced ectoplasm and channeled spirit guides named Peggy and Albert at séances across wartime Britain. In May 1941 she announced the loss of the H.M.S. Hood before the public knew, and that November she described the sinking of the H.M.S. Barham, which the government withheld until January 1942. Authorities arrested her at a Portsmouth sitting and tried her at London's Old Bailey beginning March 23, 1944 under the 1735 Witchcraft Act; a jury convicted her on April 3, and she became the last person imprisoned under that law, serving her sentence at Holloway Prison while Winston Churchill dismissed the case as obsolete tomfoolery.After that, the episode examines Jeremy Bentham, the English philosopher born in 1748 who asked that his body be dissected, preserved, and displayed as what he called an auto-icon. Dr. Thomas Southwood Smith carried out the dissection three days after Bentham died on June 6, 1832, but his attempt to preserve the head with sulfuric acid and an air pump left it leathery and discolored, so a wax replacement by the French artist Jacques Talrich was fitted to the seated skeleton. The figure went on display at University College London, where students stole the real, shriveled head in 1975 and returned it after the university paid £10 against their £100 charity demand; the head later served as a soccer ball before being moved to a climate-controlled storeroom in 2002.The episode closes with ten eccentric routines of the wealthy and famous. Howard Hughes wore tissue boxes over his feet and wrote a manual instructing employees how to prepare and serve a can of peaches; Nikola Tesla fed pigeons in New York parks and called one white pigeon his muse; Salvador Dalí napped in a chair holding a key over a metal plate so its clatter would wake him; Marlon Brando dropped ice into hot coffee to drink it at once; Queen Elizabeth I whitened her skin with a mix of white lead and vinegar; Andy Warhol ate McDonald's nearly every day for two decades; Benjamin Franklin sat naked by open windows for what he called air baths; Michael Jackson traveled with a pet elephant named Gypsy on his Bad tour; Charles Dickens walked miles through London at night to feed his writing; and Albert Einstein gave up socks because his shoes already covered his feet.

In Episode 3 of this series, Patrick begins by responding to excellent audience feedback on the 3-Voice Framework from Episode 2. He then highlights a recent Mormonism Live episode that makes a compelling case for the Book of Mormon as a 19th-century text, pointing to 34 doctrines from the early 1800s. But many of those doctrines appear directly connected to debates within Campbellism in Ohio and Pennsylvania—debates Sidney Rigdon was having with Alexander Campbell and Walter Scott. Should that raise new questions about Book of Mormon authorship? A future episode will explore the Campbellism connection more deeply. The heart of this episode focuses on stylometry, also known as wordprint analysis. Patrick explains how researchers create a digital profile of an author's unique writing habits, then reviews two of the eight major wordprint studies. The second study includes intriguing findings about Joseph Smith's personal writing style compared to the broader LDS canon—and even identifies a strange anomaly in the early Doctrine and Covenants during the Book of Mormon dictation period. Join us for a thoughtful look at the evidence behind one big question: who authored the Book of Mormon?This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

You already know the story. Or at least the version everybody's been handed down.Clans. Sacred tartans. A warrior culture supposedly older than memory itself.That's the myth. The myth was a product. Somebody built it deliberately, and they built it to sell.The Highland tradition Scots and the global Scottish diaspora treat as ancient was actually constructed between 1760 and 1850 by a specific group of men who understood that identity is a market and nostalgia is a currency. Two con men forged a manuscript that authenticated "ancient" clan tartans no one had ever heard of. A textile mill in Bannockburn ran the supply chain, naming patterns clan-by-clan as they came off the looms. A novelist staged a royal pageant for a politically embarrassed king and used it to launch the brand. A queen turned Balmoral into a content factory that sold the Highland lifestyle to the world.And while all of this was happening, the actual Highlanders were being cleared off their ancestral land and shipped to Nova Scotia. The Highland tradition functioned as a replacement, not a recovery — a product laid carefully over the wound.This isn't conspiracy. It isn't ideology. It's architecture — and the architecture is still operating right now in every DNA-test ancestry package, every airport tartan scarf, every Highland Games in suburban Toronto.In this video:→ Culloden 1746 and the Dress Act: how a piece of cloth got made criminal for 36 years→ James Macpherson and the Ossian forgery (1760): the moment somebody proved romanticized Scottish identity had real commercial value→ The Sobieski Stuart brothers and the Vestiarium Scoticum (1842): the forged manuscript that gave every clan its "ancient" tartan→ Wilson & Sons of Bannockburn: the actual factory where clan tartans were designed first and named afterward→ Walter Scott's choreographed pageant for George IV in 1822: how Scotland got incorporated as a national brand→ Queen Victoria at Balmoral: how the Highland tradition went global→ The six-step playbook for manufacturing a culture — and why it still works todaySubscribe to Hidden Forces in History for civilizational autopsies of the empires, institutions, and patterns shaping the world we live in now.CHAPTERS:00:00 The Myth as Product01:32 Culloden, 1746: The Suppression03:56 The Highland Clearances04:31 James Macpherson and the Ossian Forgery07:00 The Sobieski Stuart Brothers Arrive08:59 The Vestiarium Scoticum11:00 The Wilson Mill at Bannockburn13:03 Walter Scott Choreographs a Pageant14:17 George IV in Pink Tights, 182218:23 Queen Victoria Globalizes the Brand23:05 The Six-Step Playbook30:14 Reading the Ledger

Nous sommes le dimanche 18 juin 1815, sur le plateau de Waterloo. Ce jour-là, vers 15h, un boulet de canon frappe de plein fouet le Colonel William de Lancey sous les yeux du duc de Wellington, qui s'apprête, avec une coalition d'alliés, à mettre fin à l'épopée napoléonienne. De la présence du colonel de Lancey dans nos régions, sa jeune épouse écossaise va faire un récit poignant, livrant un point de vue intime sur l'un des chapitres les plus importants de l'histoire européenne. Réfugiée à Anvers avant de braver un pays en plein chaos pour rejoindre son mari, Magdalene témoigne de l'angoisse de l'attente, des faux espoirs, de la violence ambiante, des foules agressives, du dénuement, de la rumeur nauséabonde qui se repait du malheur à venir… Ce témoignage est un document exceptionnel, resté longtemps privé. Il ne fut révélé au public qu'en 1906 après avoir été admiré par de grands auteurs comme Walter Scott, l'auteur de « Ivanhoé ». En 1841, Charles Dickens, l'auteur de « Oliver Twist », rendra compte lui aussi de l'importance que le récit de Magdalene de Lancey prit dans sa vie. Un récit qui offre aujourd'hui un regard unique sur les coulisses de la campagne de Waterloo, sur la dimension humaine de la guerre et le témoignage d'un amour brisé par l'histoire.

We are off to medieval England with a thrilling retelling of Walter Scott's classic Ivanhoe. In a land torn by Norman-Saxon conflict and royal intrigue, a disinherited knight returns from the Crusades to face tournaments of glory, daring rescues, and profound tests of honor. Join heroes, outlaws, and unlikely allies as chivalry clashes with prejudice in this timeless tale of courage, love, and the fight for a united kingdom. Perfect for fans of adventure, history, and heart-stirring drama. Read by Steve Rimmer.

Step into the misty Scottish Highlands as Steve Rimmer reads 'The Enchanted Isle,' a timeless tale of a mysterious knight lost in wild lochs and ancient forests. There he encounters the graceful Lady of the Lake and becomes entangled in forbidden love, clan rivalries, and a kingdom on the brink of war. Brimming with adventure, heartfelt romance, and Highland spirit, this re-telling captures the soul of Walter Scott's classic in vivid prose. Perfect for lovers of history, heroism, and redemption."

Who Were the Leaders of the "Restoration Movement"? 1. Thomas Campbell: "Thomas Campbell's famous Declaration and Address stated in no uncertain terms the principles upon which such restoration should rest." The Spiritual Sword, July, '73, p. 15. 2. Alexander Campbell: "Alexander Campbell, son of Thomas, became even more prolific in speaking of 'the laws of the kingdom,' as seen in Christianity Restored and the Millennial Harbinger." The Spiritual Sword, July, '73, p. 15. 3. Barton W. Stone: "The men making the plea — among them ...Barton W. Stone, a Presbyterian." The Spiritual Sword, July, '70, p. 42 4. Walter Scott: "Pioneer preachers as ...Walter Scott." The Spiritual Sword, July, '73, p. 6 These are the four primary "founding fathers" of the Restoration movement, none of whom ever obeyed the "ancient gospel" which was supposedly restored on November 18, 1827 when Walter Scott baptized William Amend (see Life of Elder Walter Scott by William Baxter, p. 108). Significant Dates and Events in the "Restoration Movement" as Revealed In Restoration Writings: 1812 - June 12: The Campbells and the Hanens (seven persons in all) are immersed by Matthias Luce, a Baptist preacher, in Buffalo Creek. This was nearly 15 years before the practice of "baptism in order to obtain the remission of sins" was supposedly "restored" by Walter Scott, Nov. 18, 1827. (Ibid., Vol. 1, pp. 396-398; Vol. 2, p. 212). 1816 - A. Campbell preaches heresies on the Law at Redstone Association. (Ibid., Vol. 1, p. 471). 1820 - Alexander Campbell debates with John Walker, Presbyterian, and defends Baptist name, doctrine and history. (see Campbell-Walker Debate). 1823 - August: A. Campbell learns that t

Tales of Health: Illness, Disability, and Citizenship in the Romantic National Tale (Liverpool UP, 2026) is about the way the Romantic National Tale exercises power and defines the boundaries of citizenship through the categories of health, illness, and disability. When we see these categories at work in these novels, we understand how socio-political belonging is premised on the conception of the healthy body, to the exclusion of bodies deemed otherwise. Employing the medical humanities and, especially, the social determinants of health, this book shows that the National Tale achieves its consolidation of the nation through its enforcement of a rigorous politics of health that polices its characters' and citizens' bodies. Focusing on novels from Sydney Owenson, Maria Edgeworth, Germaine de Staël, Walter Scott, and Jane Austen allows this argument to show that the imbricated concerns of health and citizenship extend well beyond the immediate anxiety roused by the implementation of the 1800 Act of Union. This book argues that, by prioritizing the categories of health, illness, and disability, we better understand how power and citizenship function in this widely influential early nineteenth-century genre of Romantic fiction and, thus, how we continue to envision citizenship as an extension of bodily characteristics. Matthew L. Reznicek is Associate Professor of Medical Humanities at the University of Minnesota Medical School, where he uses eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British and Irish literature to explore the impact of social, historical, and cultural factors in the experience of medicine and health. Victoria Oana Lupașcu is an Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature and Asian Studies at University of Montréal. Her areas of interest include medical humanities, visual art, 20th- and 21st-century Chinese, Brazilian and Romanian literature and Global South studies. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we are joined by cultural historian Murray Pittock to discuss his new book, The Shortest History of Scotland – a concise but richly detailed journey through two millennia of Scottish history, from the Picts to the present day.Scotland's geography – the “land of the mountain and the flood”, in Walter Scott's phrase – made it virtually impenetrable until modern roads and railways. For centuries, the sea was the highway, and Scotland's east‑coast ports looked as much to continental Europe as to England. Understanding that terrain is key to understanding how Scotland became a state in historical time – and why the union with England was never a foregone conclusion.Murray explains the origins of his book, written as part of the bestselling Shortest History series, and the opportunity it offered to refresh a field dominated by either heavy tomes or outdated accounts. He focuses not just on kings and battles, but on people's lived lives, culture, and the built environment – while also signposting readers towards deeper dives, such as the Declaration of Arbroath.We then turn to the present. The story of modern Scottish nationalism begins with Winnie Ewing's shock by‑election victory in Hamilton in 1967, and her slogan “Stop the world – Scotland wants to get on”. The post‑imperial era marginalised Scotland's distinctive identity; Britishness, once a broad, inclusive identity shared by Australians, Canadians and New Zealanders, suddenly became something narrower and more insular. The memory of the two world wars – particularly the myth of 1940 as an English, south‑east England story – has played a complex role in the union's longevity.Murray explores the drivers of Scottish nationalism: economic anxiety, a desire for democratic control, and an internationalist outlook that became visible in the 2016 Brexit vote, where Scotland's pattern diverged dramatically from England's. He also reflects on the 2014 independence referendum – where pensions and currency fears likely tipped the balance – and on devolution, which Labour hoped would “kill nationalism stone dead” but which failed partly because Scottish Labour never truly became a nationalist party.We also discuss the formation of the union in 1707, a vote “forced” by economic weakness, English obstruction of Scottish overseas trade, and a lack of alternatives. The mercantile class later profited handsomely from the British Empire, shifting Scotland's economic centre of gravity from east to west – from the European ports to Glasgow and the American trade.Topics covered:The geography of Scotland and its historical impactWalter Scott's “land of the mountain and the flood”The Declaration of ArbroathWinnie Ewing and the birth of modern Scottish nationalismPost‑imperial Britishness and the Festival of Britain (1951)The memory of the world wars and its role in the unionDrivers of Scottish nationalism: economic, democratic, internationalistThe 2014 independence referendum and the currency/pensions questionDevolution: Labour's miscalculationThe 1707 union: economic weakness, Darien, and a forced voteMurray Pittock's The Shortest History of Scotland is available now from all good bookshops.

The latest podcast episode of MCC Learning Institute features a conversation between Nicholas Tate, historian and author of Seven Books that Everyone Once Read but No One Now Does, recently published by Ludovika University Press and Richárd Fodor, Head of Research at the Learning Institute. The discussion explores the enduring significance of seven works that once formed the intellectual foundation of European civilisation but are rarely read today. From Cicero's De Officiis to Walter Scott's Waverley, these books shaped generations of educated readers and played a central role in the development of shared cultural and moral reference points across Europe. During the conversation, Tate examines what makes a book truly “classical,” discusses the motivation behind his latest work, Seven Books. In connection to this, he identifies key reasons why deep reading has declined, and whether modern education still provides the historical knowledge necessary to understand the great works of the past. Tate and Fodor discuss the role of schools, universities, and educational traditions in preserving the transmission of Europe's intellectual heritage, as well as the consequences of expanding education to wider sections of society.Nicholas Tate also reflects on the changing ways readers have approached books over the centuries, from intensive, annotation-based reading to today's more fragmented habits, and considers how some of the works he discusses were used in ways never intended by their authors. The episode concludes with practical advice for listeners who would like to discover these seven books today: where to begin, how to read demanding historical texts, and why returning to them may still be essential for understanding Western civilisation in the twenty-first century.This conversation is part of MCC Learning Institute podcast series and accompanies the open-access publication of the book, available online:https://openaccess.ludovika.hu/nke/catalog/book/383Az MCC Podcast adásaiban érdekes emberekkel izgalmas témákról beszélgetünk.

Quelques régions sont toutefois surreprésentées, comme la Normandie ou la Provence.

Elle a un lien très fort avec les fleurs puisque son corps se recouvre de fleurs ou de herbes diverses. Mieux encore : quand Jasmin marche pieds nus, sur ses traces poussent des fleurs.

March 29, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon   In this episode Neal reflects and references a reading by Jed as they unpack the omnibenevolence of God through Scripture and historical voices like Barton W. Stone, Walter Scott, and N.B. Hardeman. Topics include the nature of God's love—its endurance, universality, impenetrability, and impartiality—and how that love is shown in Christ's sacrifice, forgiveness, guidance, and restoration. Key points cover what God's love does (saves, creates intimate relationship, forgives, leads and restores) and why it matters: God's love reaches everyone, doesn't cease when we fail, reassures us of God's presence and provision, and calls for a response of repentance and faith. Expect biblical exposition, historical illustrations, practical application, and a clear invitation to respond.   Handout: The Love of God — Neal Pollard    I.

In The Castle: A History (Yale University Press, 2022) Dr. John Goodall presents a vibrant history of the castle in Britain, from the early Middle Ages to the present day. The castle has long had a pivotal place in British life, associated with lordship, landholding, and military might, and today it remains a powerful symbol of history. But castles have never been merely impressive fortresses—they were hubs of life, activity, and imagination. Dr. John Goodall weaves together the history of the British castle across the span of a millennium, from the eleventh to the twenty-first century, through the voices of those who witnessed it. Drawing on chronicles, poems, letters, and novels, including the work of figures like Gawain Poet, Walter Scott, Evelyn Waugh, and P. G. Wodehouse, Dr. Goodall explores the importance of the castle in our culture and society. From the medieval period to Civil War engagements, right up to modern manifestations in Harry Potter, Dr. Goodall reveals that the castle has always been put to different uses, and to this day continues to serve as a source of inspiration. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In “[M]y ‘case' to work up': William Carlos Williams's Paterson” (William Carlos Williams Review, Volume 41, Number 2, 2024), Walter Scott Peterson argues that as a physician-poet Dr. Williams approaches his poetic material very much as he approaches his patients, and that the form of Paterson in particular is intentionally and actually reminiscent of the various forms taken by the medical case narrative, or “work-up.” This episode concerns the poet and physician William Carlos Williams, whose mother, Raquel Hélène Rose Hoheb Williams, was born and raised in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. This conversation is part of the STEM to STEAM initiative, sponsored by the Teagle Foundation, that links medicine, science, technology and engineering to the sensibilities honed in the humanities—rethinking ways to blend and combine studies in literature, poetry, history, philosophy, and the arts as more central dimensions of technical preparation. The discussion explores the profound connection between medical humanities and poetry, highlighting how their combination enriches our understanding of patient care, fosters empathy, and humanizes the medical experience. Medical humanities is an interdisciplinary field combining arts, literature, philosophy and cultural approaches to the human condition—considering each of these as insights into the emotional and ethical dimensions of healthcare. Poetry can serve as a powerful tool for expressing the complex feelings and narratives that often go unspoken in clinical settings. Blending poetry and the science of healthcare reminds us that medicine is not just a science but also an art, emphasizing compassion, understanding, and the shared human experience at the heart of healing. In this episode are: Walter Scott Peterson is a retired ophthalmologist and William Carlos Williams scholar; he is the author of the first book-length study of William Carlos Williams's epic poem Paterson, titled An Approach to Paterson (Yale, 1967). Vamsi Koneru is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry in the University of Connecticut School of Medicine.

6.27.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: SCOTUS Birthright Ruling, Crockett vs MAGA, Moral Monday preview, Trump disrespects African reporter The Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration in the birthright citizenship case, which limits the ability of federal judges to impose nationwide injunctions.
