3. The Classic English Literature Podcast

Play Watch Video
Website Apple Spotify YouTube Episodes
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!MORE Host Matthew.G.Mcdonough
