F***bois of Literature Book Podcast

• FBOL is now on Patreon! Subscribe: http://www.patreon.com/msemilyedwards • The podcast about the most groan-worthy, enraging, and sh*t characters in lit. Join host Emily Edwards and a guest for a weekly “book club” discussion on every book you wanted to destroy in English class, but couldn’t. Classic literature of Europe and the Americas– everything from mythology to Victorian epics to the modernists– is hard to get through, and each week, we take on a frequently assigned book to talk about all of its highs and lows. These are the Fuckbois of Literature.

What is probably the most famous book ever written by a woman, FRANKENSTEIN, OR THE MODERN PROMETHEUS is the emblematic text of problematic science.

9: Lady Audley's Secret - Danielle Ryan Apr 01, 2020

Show notes

After doing an episode on NORTHANGER ABBEY, I was so excited to do an episode on a real-life "sensation novel." LADY AUDLEY'S SECRET is Mary Elizabeth Braddon's main contribution to the Victorian catalogue of books about women behaving badly. Guest Danielle Ryan (@danirat, guest from our episode on INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE) is here to talk about comeuppance, queer-coded characters, and penny dreadfuls. Enjoy!

5: The Outsiders - Leslie Gray Streeter Mar 04, 2020

Show notes

Leslie Gray Streeter (@LeslieStreeter, https://lesliegraystreeter.com/) joins host Emily Edwards to discuss that most prevalent of all YA novels, THE OUTSIDERS by S.E. Hinton. What does it mean to be alone? How does white privilege work in a world without people of color? How does being an "outsider" work where everyone's virtually the same?

3: The Tempest - Samantha Puc Feb 19, 2020

Show notes

[CW: Rape, assault, gas-lighting, consent, colonialism, murder] Samantha Puc (@theverbalthing) joins host Emily Edwards (@MsEmilyEdwards) to BREAK HER BRAIN around the idea of reliable narration, colonialism as disruption, and the veil of choice in regards to Shakespeare's final play, THE TEMPEST. As it turns out? It ain't about playwriting, folks. THE TEMPEST is a blatantly anti-monarch, anti-colonialism, anti-patriarchy play that was Shakespeare's "curtain call" from London Society and playwriting. What can we glean from his text that'll tell us how he really felt about Queen Elizabeth and English society?
