David and Eric look back over the first series (episodes 1-10) of Professing Literature and David answers some listener questions. We got a great response from listeners and some great questions about episodes 1-10. David also gives a few clues as to what&apos;s coming in the next series of episodes (Eric presses him on when there will be more Macbeth!). As always, if you have any questions, comments, or otherwise, send us an email at ProfessingLiterature@protonmail.com. ---------- Theme Music: &quot;Nobility&quot; by Wicked CinemaOpening Passage Music: &quot;An Afternoon at the Versailles&quot; by Cercles Nouvelles

EP11 - An Old Woman and a Little Girl | St. Luke’s Gospel

Why do great novels, poems and plays move us and excite us? How can they change the way we look at ourselves and the world? What do these authors have to teach us? Why do they matter? There are no better answers to these questions than those provided by the authors themselves. We want to let them speak. Professing Literature is not a broad summary of major works. Instead, it will zero in on one or two key passages, looking at them closely in order to figure out what is at stake. The goal will be to appreciate an author’s brilliance by seeing him or her in action. We will unpack key phrases, images and metaphors and we will consider the techniques the writer uses to make ideas come alive.
