John Keats: The Eve of St Agnes.

This podcast slithers, oozes, writhes and flickers with all things dark, forbidden, strange and tabooed. It also tries to offer something very new. For over 15 years I lectured at the universities of Cardiff and Durham. It was a great great life. I got paid to write and to think. I got paid to share these passions with some brilliant and unforgettable students. Unfortunately, students now have to pay staggering amounts of money for that privilege. Welcome, then, to the Secret University. Its ideas, its magic, its joys are endless. And it is free.
