Born in the U.S.A. Week 39: A Handful of 19th Century American Writers 32:55

32:55

Week 39 of Ted Gioia’s Immersive Humanities Course takes on nineteenth-century American literature—and to my surprise, it became one of the most enjoyable weeks so far. I went in dreading familiar names and old high-school resentments, but came out newly energized. Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (chapters 1–6) was funny, humane, an…

God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen. Bonus! Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol 13:17

13:17

We take a little break from our reading list this week for some holiday cheer: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens! I thought I knew this one inside out, which was ridiculous because I had never actually read it. (When will I learn?!) This is a punchy little novel, and you can read it aloud over the course of less than a week with your kids. I hop…

Two Logical Guys. Week 38: Charles Darwin's Origin of Species and John Stuart Mill's On Liberty 23:51

23:51

Week 38 of Ted Gioia’s Immersive Humanities Course pairs two seemingly unrelated works: Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species (chapters 1–4) and John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty. What initially felt random turned out to be an enlightening combination! Darwin’s early chapters focus not on sweeping conclusions but on careful observation—natural sele…

You Can’t Hurry Love. Week 37: Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice 27:02

Such a treat this week! My daughter Darcy is joining me to talk about one of her favorite novels, Pride and Prejudice. For me, after several weeks of dense reading, returning to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice felt like revisiting an old friend—but this time, the experience was unexpectedly conflicted. While I still admire the novel’s perfectly e…

You Say You Want a Revolution? Week 36: The U.S. Constitution, The Communist Manifesto, and A Vindication of the Rights of Women 31:08

This week on Crack the Book, we dive into a fascinating mix of political and philosophical texts from Ted Gioia’s Immersive Humanities List: the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Communist Manifesto, and Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Women. I revisit the Declaration with fresh eyes—its sharp list of grie…

When Poetry is the New Sensation. Week 35: Shelley, Byron, Coleridge, and the Romantic Poets 32:43

32:43

This week is all poetry—our first all-poetry week of the Immersive Humanities project! After struggling through young Werther, I decided I needed to step back and understand Romanticism as a movement. I offer a brief review of the history leading up to Romanticism; after all, most movements are reactions against what precedes them. The printing pre…

Bizarre Love Triangle. Week 34: Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther 24:20

24:20

This week we leave the Middle Ages far behind and land squarely in the emotional whirlwind of Romanticism with Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther. Written in 1774 when Goethe was just twenty-five, the novel became what might be the first true worldwide bestseller—so influential that young men across Europe dressed like Werther, and suicides even…
