Bliv klogere på de tre Brontë-søstres korte, mytiske liv og de udødelige litterære værker, som de skrev på den isolerede hede i 1800-tallets England. I denne podcast fortæller Lise-Lotte Frederiksen indlevende og vidende om de tre Brontë-søstre; Charlotte, Emily og Anne. Du skal høre om deres opvækst på præstegården med sygdom og tab, deres lyrik og inspiration, og ikke mindst om de tre værker, der stadig i dag står som noget af det bedste fra den engelske litteraturskat; 'Jane Eyre', 'Stormfulde højder' og 'Fruen til Wildfell Hall'.

I det tredje afsnit sætter Lise Lotte Frederiksen fokus på Woolfs essays, heriblandt ‘A room of one’s own’ (‘Eget værelse’) og det senere hen berømte teaterstykke ‘Orlando’.

Woolf er anerkendt for at være forud for sin tid i både indhold og skrivestil og fik sit store folkelige gennembrud med romanen, Mrs. Dalloway (1925).

Du kender Jane Austens uddødelige værker, men kender du Jane Austen selv? I denne podcast fortæller Lise-Lotte Frederiksen indlevende og vidende om Jane Austens liv og samtid.

BARBARA CARTLAND 3 - Forfatteren I det sidste afsnit ser vi lidt nærmere på et meget lille udvalg af Cartlands store katalog af kærlighedsromaner. Vi går i dybden og taler om genrer og trends og taler om den voldsomt imponerende appel, hun havde, til millioner af læsere verden over. Hun er selv gået glip af det store boom af den genre, hun har været med til at udvikle - og ikke mindst den bevægelse, der - måske - er i gang med at give kærlighedslitteraturen lidt mere anerkendelse. Barbara Cartland er ikke bare forfatter, men så meget mere.
