The Classic English Literature Podcast

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!

Good stuff

For over a year now I’ve been going to sleep with Doug and Literature and History . I even give him some $$ every month. But you are giving him a good run for his money. I’ve gone to bed with Classic English Literature for several nights now and I like it. ☑️j tJust saw I have a new review to take to bed. I loved your analysis of Macbeth and I’m anxious to hear what you have to say about Lear You are the best. I have always loved Donne, and you hit upon all of my favorites. Thank you
