ABOUT THE HISTORY OF LITERATURE
With empathy and intelligence, the podcast devotes episodes to everything from the life and works of giants like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky to light hearted topics like “Best of the Bard: Shakespeare’s Greatest Lines” and “Overrated! The Books You Don’t Need to Read.” Hosted by amateur enthusiast Jacke Wilson, the podcast features professors, scholars, literary biographers, and writers discussing the books and authors that have changed their lives. Each episode also features a Wikipedia-like breakdown of the authors under discussion and reader emails.
