Medieval Heroines in History and Legend - Audio Lectures (mp3)

Medieval Heroines in History and Legend
(24 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture)

Taught by Bonnie Wheeler
Southern Methodist University
Ph.D., Brown University


This course presents the lives, based on the latest scholarly interpretations, of four medieval women who still shimmer in the modern imagination: Heloise, the abbess and mistress of Abelard; the prophet Hildegard of Bingen; the legendary Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine; and the woman-warrior and saint, Joan of Arc.
In Medieval Heroines in History and Legend, Professor Bonnie Wheeler discusses these four remarkable women in the light of the present "golden age" of medieval scholarship. Almost daily, researchers are recovering lost information that corrects our picture of what had been a misunderstood era. As a result, we know more than ever about the roles women played in medieval life.
What did it mean to be a heroine in the medieval world? As the four subjects of this course make clear, it meant shaping and changing that world. In the monasteries and churches where people prayed, the universities where they wrote and thought, and even on the political map of Europe itself, these women made differences perceived not only in our time, but in theirs.

Of these, "Winston Churchill and World War II" is the most popular.
These lectures will make it clear why this is so as you experience Professor Fears's learning, his deep understanding of Churchill, and his command of both the details of his subject's life and of the lecturer's art as he brings his subject to life with dramatic flair.

"Three Blind Mice" by Agatha Christie [UNABRIDGED AUDIOBOOK WITH TEXT] "Three Blind Mice"
by Agatha Christie
[UNABRIDGED AUDIOBOOK WITH TEXT]

A blinding snowstorm - and a homicidal maniac - traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. Out of this deceptively simple set-up, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers, which, in turn, would provide the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in history. From this classic title novella to the deliciously clever gems on its tail (solved to perfection by Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple), this rare collection of murder most foul showcases the inimitable Christie at her inventive best, proving her reputation as "the champion deceiver of our time".
