Annotations Podcast

Welcome to Annotations, a new podcast from literature Ph.D. students! In each episode, Annotations will go back and reinterpret the types of things often scribbled on the margins of literary history: notes on the people, events, and places that shape the literature we love. We’re inviting you to peruse our tattered and marked-up texts to let you in on the stories behind the stories.

    Episode 4: It's a fake!

    Before there was “fake news,” there was fake literature! Listen to this episode of our podcast to learn about Edgar Allan Poe’s penchant for constructing headline-making hoaxes, Grace Acton’s curiously-constructed recipe collection and other literary creations that were just too good to be true.

    Episode Three: Bestsellers

    We tackle some of the historical bestsellers that you’ve never heard of and contemporary bestsellers that skipped a few generations before becoming widely known. Selections include Herman Melville’s "Moby Dick", Samuel Richardson’s "Pamela" (with "Harry Potter" and "Fifty Shades of Grey!"), "St. Patrick’s Purgatory," and Charles Reade’s Victorian novels.

    Episode Two: The Text Made Me Do It!

    This episode explores the ways that texts can influence a reader’s actions and life decisions. We reflect on literary justifications for crimes offered by captured criminals, trace the aftermath of Robert Louis Stevenson’s "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (and John Gay’s "The Beggar’s Opera"), investigate the social and fashion fads inspired by Sydney Owenson’s author/character performances of "The Wild Irish Girl" and interview Dave Wheeler about “how reading helped [him] find [his] pride.”
