Weekly Round-Up, 1-6-17

January 6, 2017 at 12:15 pm

Greetings, earthlings–we mean Corelings. This week we’re ushering in the new year with a star-studded link round-up. Today (1/6) is the Epiphany, by the way–the day that commemorates the visit of the three Magi to the child Jesus. As Core scholars may recall, the three kings, or wise men as they are sometimes called, followed […]

Weekly Round-Up, 12-30-16

December 30, 2016 at 3:52 pm

Goodness, what a year. We’re lucky all of our Core authors are long since deceased; otherwise, we’d be in a mess of trouble. But no matter. We’ve got a end-of-the-year wrap-up to usher in the long-awaited new year. (That’s a lotta hyphens…) Did you know that ancient Sumerians interpreted the constellation Orion as the epic […]

December 23, 2016 at 11:51 am

Hello hello, Corelings! What, did you think the Weekly Round-Up would be on hiatus during this hibernation period we call Winter Break? Of course not. Knowledge never rests. Christopher Wordsworth, the great-great-great-great grandson of William Wordsworth, is currently campaigning to protect the Lake District that inspired the Romantic poet. The National Grid plans to build […]

Good morning, Corelings! We hope this installment of weekly links keeps you toasty warm today, because the temperature outside is criminal. BUCFA is presenting Chekhov’s last full-length play, The Cherry Orchard, Dec. 14 through 18, at the Lane-Comley Studio 210. On the fence about going? There will be a real, live dog in the production.

Happy December, scholars! Take a break from perishing under the weight of final papers and take a look at this week’s round-up of links.

Greetings, Corelings! We hope you’re filling up on pumpkin pie and turkey/non-meat turkey substitute! And what would it be without an installment of weekly links?

It […]

Weekly Round-Up, 11-18-16

November 18, 2016 at 12:01 pm

Happy Friday! This week’s links take a look at a festival, Jane Austen, McDonald’s in Florence, and more. Remember Ecce Homo (“Behold the Man”), the fresco of Jesus that was, uh, renovated a few years back? You know what the best way to preserve this memory in the seas of time? A comedic opera, that’s […]

Weekly Round-Up, 11-11-16

November 11, 2016 at 10:55 am

This week we take a look at the earliest settlement in Australia, degenerate art, “Inferno” (and not the one you’re thinking about), and more. If you’ve been following our Twitter lately, you’ll see that we reported on the reception of Ron Howard’s Dante-inspired “Inferno”. Turns out this movie was the straw that broke the camel’s […]

Weekly Round-Up, Halloweekend Edition, 10-28-16

October 28, 2016 at 11:29 am

Welcome to the second installment of the Core Weekly Round-Up! There’s a reason for Bob Dylan’s recent Nobel Prize for Literature; the singer-songwriter and poet has “surpassed Whitman as the American Poet,” according to Bloomberg View writer Cass R. Sunstein. They’ve both certainly caused a bit of controversy. The William Blake Gallery in San Francisco, […]
