À propos de cet audio
Norm welcomes back Karen Sullivan, the Irma Brandeis Professor of Romance Literature and Culture at Bard College, to explore the history and traditions of Halloween. They discuss its pagan origins in Ireland, the lore of fairy folk, and the essential Celtic holidays. Professor Sullivan shares insights on the Salem Witch Trials, examining the cultural and historical forces behind the hysteria and its tragic consequences. The conversation touches on writers like Nathaniel Hawthorne and Umberto Eco and their connections to these themes, while also exploring spectral evidence, the social dynamics of the era, and the lasting impact of these events on American history.
