Podcast 009.1: Edward Prime-Stevenson

 

In this episode, we explore the little-known yet masterfully crafted work of author Edward Prime-Stevenson—a man who faced persecution with bravado and used his talent to strip away social stigmas.

We analyze one of his novels as part of our “Morality” theme, and dig into compelling subjects like the historical/contemporary implications of gayness, unconventional romance and the importance of self-expression.

Podcast 008.1: Agustina Andrade

 

 

In this episode, we pour over the sinuous work and idealistic perspective of poet Agustina Andrade—a woman whose lyrical sensibilities and quixotic writing style came to define Argentine poetry at the end of the nineteenth-century.

We analyze two of her poems as part of our “Poetry Appreciation” theme, and dissect thought-provoking topics like the cultural ramifications of art, Victorian sexuality and the power of self-expression.
