This week we talk about Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal For Preventing the Children of Poor People from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public, a nice normal essay. Also, unrelated, Hozier's Eat Your Young.

Amy is getting married! We're celebrating by reading love poems including Love’s Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Mountain Song by Tophouse, and a surprise sonnet.

In this very last episode of Shakespeare's histories, Amy brings us Henry VIII, which has less murder than you would expect and might be a eulogy!

Today we're wrapping up (the main part of) Shakespeare's Henriad with our collective favourite history play, Richard III! We talk villain motivations, royal propaganda, and woman power in Medieval England.

We are finally finished with Shakespeare's Henry VI! Margaret goes nuclear, everyone dies, and our boy Richard III makes an appearance.

We're back with the second installment of the Henry VI trilogy, AKA Seventeen-Year-Old Gets Messy! Featuring prophecies, witches, murder, and no it's not Macbeth.

We are back with a healthy dose of Shakespearean history! This week we venture back into France, where things are going awry and the women (gasp) are doing WAR THINGS (GASP)! Featuring a special appearance by Joan of Arc.

This week we take a break from Shakespeare's sparkling wit and charm to enjoy Amy's as she gives us a history background on the War of the Roses.

We're back with the ending of Henry IV's story! Is this play good? Or could it have been an email? (Nice.)
