Thanksgiving in Plain Style
Send us a text (www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2024786/open_sms)
This Subcast episode marks the American Thanksgiving holiday by looking at two early accounts of the celebration by Pilgrims William Bradford and Edward Winslow and then turns to that great hymn of thanksgiving -- Psalm 107 -- from The Bay Psalm Book, the first book published in what would become the United States. We'll also look at what's called the "Puritan Plain Style" of composition, a marked departure from the ornate literature of its Anglican contemporaries.

Another fascinating talk! and your correct, it is so important to remember just how religious some settlers were, many of the smaller sects who left England were motivated by a belief in the second coming... and lets face it, a person would need one hell of an important reason to keep going with those odds! Many thanks for such intelligent broadcasting.
@@helenboulter7215 I really appreciate your kind words! Happy Thanksgiving!
Where's Milton? now there is an interesting chap but perhaps a tad too late to be discussed?
@@helenboulter7215 Oh, no! Don't you worry! Milton will be along in a few episodes!
Would you give ur watsup nmbr ? I have somes question?
Just finished the play with my daughter, and followed it up with a showing of the Helen Mirren film (which I loved, because of the faithfulness to the language; but I was in the minority in my household). Thanks as always for the podcast! An episode on Mary Shelley would be seasonally appropriate!
@@johmica Thanks! I LOVE Helen Mirren! Mary Shelley is on the schedule, but not for a couple hundred years yet!
Thank you for this podcast
@@jeonaruon9779 You're very welcome! Thank you for listening!
Love this!
Fascinating. Thank you
@@LoveitOrHateit-podcast You are very welcome! Thanks so much for listening!
I'm making a report on this specific poem for my college project and this is sure to help me out, thanks so much
@@asterdelaluna Thanks! And good luck!
A great podcast! This is my 4th episode, almost binge-watching. Enjoying tremendously.
@@sierramike6626 Thank you! So glad to have you along!
What a great podcast, and wonderfully done. Thank you! Your channel “will go places”, I am sure!
@@sierramike6626 Thanks so much! That's so encouraging!
Very interesting. Thank you!
@@mrmcku Thanks for listening!
❤❤❤❤
Heck, yeah! Thanks for posting this. Will be listening to more!
@@professorfaeyth4582 Thank you so much, professor!
Thank you very much for this.
You are most welcome! Thank you for listening!
Could Johnson's "cheeky" little line about Shakespeare's (lack of) education, "Thou hadst small Latin and less Greek," be interpreted in a more...bawdy manner? Might big Ben be boasting not only of his superior intellect, but also of his greater experience with carnal matters? Just how big was Ben's Johnson?
@@mikecarmolli2287 Y'know, I never considered that. Odd for me...
"Men easily savage what was never secure." Raw stuff indeed.
Sir, I am a young French Lady, nearly bilingual : you are a very talented story teller , a natural ... Your voice is vivid, entertaining and I am enjoying so much the listening of your voice, smooth and energetic. Long live your podcast and our concord cordiale ^^ . I am sharing your hard work which seems elegantly effortless :)
@@nikaproust Thank you so much for these most kind words! And thank you for your time and interest. Keep marvellously well!
Those naughty rascals. Don't they know what's good for them?
Just found my copy of The love Poems of John Donne, edited and introduced by Charles Fowkes. The Flea is one of them. Enjoyed rereading in light of your earlier podcast.
The Metaphysical Poets was a course I remembered doing way back at university. Thank you for reminding me about John Donne. I had always felt that being a priest metaphysical writing came more readily to him than others with respect to the interweaving of sexual imagey with philosophical thinking. Keep up the good work.
@@atheneaberdeen9926 I completely agree! Especially when you think about the fact that Christianity is literally a religion based on incarnation. Thanks for your thoughts!
Good stuff Matt! Keep it coming.
@@mikecarmolli2287 Thanks, Carmo!
Just found this video. If it's a series i'll follow it. I did English Lit at school and university and I enjoyed every bit of it. Falstaff puzzled me a bit - I only studied Henry IV Part I- then, so it is nice to hear an interpretation years and years later.
@@atheneaberdeen9926 Thanks for writing! Yes, there’s a whole series starting way back in the 6th century and moving forward chronologically. Hope you join me!
Welcome to UA-cam! My daughter (6th grade) is homeschooling for a couple of years, and she's recently finished Robert Nye's translation/interpretation of the poem. We're moving on to Seamus Heaney's translation next, but I wanted to take a day to just kick back and watch/listen to some historical context with her before diving back in. Lo and behold, your podcast series posted a mere nine hours ago, and it's perfect for our needs. I look forward to catching up on old episodes on my drive to work and listening to new episodes as they're released. Thanks for doing this!
@@johmica Thanks! Beowulf in 6th grade, wow!
RIP. Rock legend
