Lusty Literature

Plus, you’ll learn about the lives of famous writers from John Donne to Edith Wharton. (Warning: this show discusses more boobs than “Bridgerton” and offers more gasps than “Masterpiece Theatre”.) #Romance #Poetry #Satire

    Episode Three The Clerics

    John Donne and Robert Herrick, English clerics born in the late 1500s, were renowned for their rude poetry. John Donne, prior to becoming Dean of London’s St Paul’s Cathedral, was a former gentleman privateer who attempted to seize gold held within the bowels of Spanish galleons at sea. Robert Herrick, meanwhile, from his pretty parish in Devon loved nothing more than writing odes to women’s breasts before re-dipping his inky quill into his pot to pen another sermon.

    Episode Five The Prisoner

    John Cleland was born in England in 1710 into a family with literary connections: his father, a civil servant, friends with Alexander Pope - the second most-quoted-writer in “The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations”.

    Episode Six The Trailblazer

    Edith Wharton, the American Gilded-Age writer, born into opulence, often “wrote what she knew”. And “who” Edith knew were millionaires - corporate titans who traveled the world and who’d never get on their knees to scrub a toilet bowl all around its rim. Edith also knew about, and wrote about, living within an emotionally cold, sexless marriage (a theme underscoring her Pulitzer Prize winning novel, "The Age of Innocence”). And Edith knew about affairs; her lust-filled poem “Terminus” written by her beneath warm crumpled sheets, the morning-after she experienced shenanigans with a well-known cad.

    Episode Seven The Rebel

    The writer Colette was so famous in her homeland of France that when she died there in the 1950s, Colette was honored to a state-funeral. Her most famous novella “Gigi” was adapted into an Oscar-winning movie, whilst her novel “Cheri” was made into a film starring Michelle Pfeiffer.   Colette’s personal life also made headlines: one night, whilst working as a nude music hall performer at the famed Moulin Rouge club, Colette and her then lover, the niece of Emperor Napoleon the Third, apparently sparked a near audience riot, when she and her lover simulated sex onstage.
