Where rhyme gets its reason! In a historical survey of English literature, I take a personal and philosophical approach to the major texts of the tradition in order to not only situate the poems, prose, and plays in their own contexts, but also to show their relevance to our own. This show is for the general listener: as a teacher of high school literature and philosophy, I am less than a scholar but more than a buff. I hope to edify and entertain!

    Today, you get to treat yourselves to a discussion of Pope's major satirical poems: The Rape of the Lock and The Dunciad. And, as a special bonus, you get to endure a desultory introduction concerning the Beatles at a cocktail party as well as series of pop culture references that are no less than 40 years old.

    The Texts:

    The Rape of the Lock: https://jacklynch.net/Texts/rapelock.html

    The Dunciad: https://congresoartistas.masonicvipclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/the-dunciad.pdf

    For this Easter holiday, I thought we'd look at a hymn lyric from a very influential writer who is often overlooked in discussions of literature: Isaac Watt. You can find the full text of the lyric in the transcript.

    Additional Music: "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" perf. The Choir of St. Margaret's, Westminster (1931) His Master's Voice (B 3746)
