À propos de ce contenu audio

 In 1916, amidst the tumult of war, the Cambridge historian F.J. Foakes-Jackson crossed the Atlantic to deliver the captivating Lowell Lectures in Boston. In these enlightening talks, he paints a vivid picture of British life from 1750 to 1850. Journey alongside John Wesley as he traverses thousands of miles of picturesque English countryside on horseback. Meet the sharp-witted rural poet George Crabbe, who transitioned from being a surgeon apothecary to a parish rector, offering house calls to his community. Foakes-Jackson introduces a colorful cast of characters, including a female convict, various dons from Cambridge University, and the flamboyant figures of Regency society, not to mention the rich, bustling life depicted in the works of Dickens and Thackeray. In his final lecture, prepare for a thrilling chase over hedges and through muddy lanes in pursuit of the fox. (Pamela Nagami, M.D.)
