Mary Shelley Mathilda
On her deathbed, Mathilda writes a letter to her only friend, revealing the dark secret of her past, a secret so shameful, she can only manage it now because her time is running out. Written between 1819 and 1820, author Mary Shelley unfortunately never saw this novella published. Though he enjoyed the writing, her father, William Godwin, refused to return the manuscript to her after she asked him to get it published in England, because he found the theme "disgusting and detestable". The world was,...

G. K. Chesterton Eugenics and Other Evils
"The Frenchman works until he can play. The American works until he can’t play; and then thanks the devil, his master, that he is donkey enough to die in harness. But the Englishman, as he has since become, works until he can pretend that he never worked at all." ‘Eugenics and Other Evils’ (1922) is a magnificent takedown of the entire basis of eugenic thought – the idea that controlled breeding will improve the human population. But it is about far more than eugenics: it is about how evil succeeds...

Katherine Mansfield Prelude
"There was not an inch of room for Lottie and Kezia in the buggy. When Pat swung them on top of the luggage they wobbled; the grandmother‘s lap was full and Linda Burnell could not possibly have held a lump of a child on hers for any distance." The seemingly perfect Burnell family is moving from one house to another, and on the surface, everything appears idyllic. But as the story develops, the tension grows, threating to explode and expose their true nature. `Prelude‘ (1922) is evidence of Katherine...

Oscar Wilde De Profundis
"But it is a very unimaginative nature that only cares for people on their pedestals. A pedestal may be a very unreal thing. A pillory is a terrific reality." Thus wrote Oscar Wilde in a farewell letter to his lover Lord Alfred Douglas (Bosie) in 1897 while serving a two-year sentence for "gross indecency with other male persons". In it, he sorts out his life and his love for Bosie, who, he feels, abandoned him to his fate. It is an intensely personal letter that follows the stages of grief and interlaces...

Nyk de Vries Literêre 4-stêdetocht - Lêzing 4
Raffelich realisme; Fjouwer lêzings oer de Fryske literatuer
De finish-lêzing fan de Literêre 4-Stêdetocht giet oer in nijsgjirrich ûnderwerp dêr't net earder ûndersyk nei dien is. Begjin 1996 sette in lyts groepke studinten yn Grins útein mei in literêr tydskrift yn it Frysk. It begûn as in aardichheidsje, mar as tydskrift krige de De Blauwe Fedde stadichoan mear lêzers. It waard in poadium foar in nije generaasje fan jonge skriuwers, dy't net de barrikaden opsochten, mar op iroanyske wize skreaunen oer it deistich libben, mei al syn banaliteiten,...

Sigrid Kingma Literêre 4-stêdetocht - Lêzing 3
Fryske berneliteratuer; Fjouwer lêzings oer de Fryske literatuer
Begjin jierren 90 kaam der in hiele groep nije Fryske berne- en jeugdboekeskriuwers nei foaren, en oaren hiene har grutste suksessen. Tink oan Hanneke de Jong, Lida Dykstra, Auck Peanstra, Anny de Jong, Mindert Wijnstra en Eppie Dam. Foarbylden fan resint talint binne Thys Wadman (De oerwinning fan Tido Houtsma) en Ate Grypstra (It beest fan de Westereen). Wat hawwe sûnt 1990 de ûntwikkelingen fan de Fryske berneliteratuer west? Is der in ferskowing yn tema's en binne de maatskiplike feroaringen...

Lêzing 1 - André Looijenga Literatuer yn lytse talen Skriuwe yn in minderheidstaal, wat betsjut dat? Sprekkers fan minderheidstalen beslane mei har taal minder domeinen fan it libben as sprekkers yn grutte of nasjonale talen. Der is fansels wol ferskil...
