  • Anonymous – “Fowles in the Frith” – Episode 2

     

    5 November 2021

    Episode 2 - Fowles in the Frith 

    How do we determine the meaning of a work which has no author? And what responsibility is there in authoring our own interpretation?

    We examine the potential meanings of this poem, dig at length into the different ideas of medieval authorship, and find we may have not have wandered yet that far, at all.

     

    Foweles in the frith,

    The fisses in the flod,
    And I mon waxe wod.
    Sulch sorw I walke with
    For beste of bon and blod.

  • WayPoint: Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market”

     

    22 October 2021

    WayPoint - Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market”

     A reading of “Goblin Market” along with some thinking on Chopin and the forthcoming episode on “Fowls in the Frith.” Does Rossetti’s poem offer a way in to Chopin’s question of ‘freedom from’ men? What can we say of her assertion that this tale “does not mean anything profound”?

    5. Kate Chopin’s “The Story of An Hour” – Episode 1

       

      15 October 2021

      Episode 1 - Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour”

      https://waywordsstudio.com

      We begin our wandering with the famous Chopin short story, exploring topics of reading aesthetically, freedom, tragic hamartia, female silencing, and some missteps in reading Victory.

      “If freedom is not an absolute, then are alienation (Otherness) and ‘monstrous ideas’ always a ‘suspension of intelligent thought’?”
