Sinopse

In T. Smollett's "The History of England: From the Reign of William and Mary to the Death of George II," readers are provided with a comprehensive narrative that captures the socio-political intricacies of a pivotal era in English history. Written in an engaging style characteristic of 18th-century historiography, Smollett interweaves detailed accounts of significant events with vivid portrayals of historical figures, illuminating the complexities of governance, conflict, and cultural shifts during this period. His keen observations and sharp wit render the text both informative and entertaining, reflecting the evolving Enlightenment ideals surrounding reason and civic virtue. Tobias Smollett, a distinguished novelist and historian, authored this work during a time of personal and national turmoil. His experiences as a Scottish writer and his political aspirations imbued him with a unique perspective on English politics and literature. Smollett's temperament as a satirist is evident in his meticulous critique of contemporary figures, informed by his examinations of the societal tensions and class divides of his time, prompting his desire to document the historical narrative of England. This remarkable volume is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersection of history and literature. Smollett's vivid storytelling and critical insights not only provide an educational account of English history but also resonate with themes relevant to our contemporary political landscape, making it a pertinent read for historians, students, and literary enthusiasts alike.

A Rare Recording of Sir Ernest...

Sir Ernest Shackleton

Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874 - 1922) was a polar explorer who led three British expeditions to the Antarctic. 
During the second expedition, from 1907 to 1909, he and three companions established a new record for the “farthest South latitude,” which was 97 miles from the South Pole and the closest in pole exploration history. Members of his team also climbed Mount Erebus, the most active volcano on Antarctica. For these achievements, Shackleton was knighted by King Edward VII on his return home. 
A few years later, his ship - The Endurance - became trapped in pack ice and was slowly crushed. The crew escaped by camping on the sea ice, then launching their lifeboats to reach the inhabited island of South Georgia, a stormy ocean voyage of 720 nautical miles. It became Shackleton's most famous exploit.

How to Be a Patriotic Christian...

Richard J. Mouw

What does it mean to love our country?
Some Christians see loyalty to America as central to our faith and identity. Other Christians are skeptical that our nation warrants such devotion or attachment. But Richard Mouw encourages Christians to have a healthy sense of national peoplehood that promotes civic kinship and responsible citizenship. He navigates between Christian nationalism on one hand and cynicism about country on the other to avoid the perils of both idolatry and disengagement.
Mouw grapples with sticky questions such as how to honor national holidays in church and the place of protests in forging a more perfect union. Placing love of country in the context of Christian love of neighbor, he sees patriotism as an expression of our heavenly citizenship and a call to help our country be a place where all people can thrive in peace.
Mouw's winsome and wise reflections direct our patriotic affections toward the civic good of others within our churches and in our communities. This guide helps us travel together on a shared national journey toward liberty and justice for all.

Laurie And Adaptive...

Niina Niskanen

Ready to unravel the mystery of Laurie and Adaptive Attractiveness? He Has Brown Skin. in this episode I will be focusing to the fact that he doesn't have that in the movies, and I am going explore the possible reasons why Laurie has written to have brown skin in Little Women, and investigate whether or not this was intentional.
In Little Women, Louisa May Alcott wrote that Laurie has "curly black hair, black eyes and brown skin", but Laurie has never been played by a brown-skinned actor.
Little Women Podcast is an ongoing series of video essays, articles and podcast episodes that examines the intersections in Louisa May Alcott´s Little Women.
Here´s what listeners have said about the Little Women podcast:
Jen
As a long-time, die-hard Little Women fan, I LOVE this podcast! I stumbled upon it while doing research for a book series I was working on, and I am addicted! Niina is super knowledgeable in all things LW, from the book(s) to the movies and author Louisa May Alcott’s real life. I love that the discussions are based on the book and highlight the differences (sometimes controversial) between the original and newer adaptations. Highly recommended for anybody who loves getting lost in the world of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March.
Paola
I love your Little Women content. Thank you for sharing all your studies and research! I read the book earlier this year for the first time and I fell in love with Jo and Fritz’s relationship. I’m so glad I binged listened to your podcast to further my love for them. It also kickstarted an obsession with LMA too, she’s such an interesting woman and moved around in so many circles.
