A bracing hyper-chronicle
Jacke's mixture of subjective memoir, close reading, and bio-historical analysis makes for tremendously enjoyable listening. Not a straightforward march through literary history (although it started out that way), the podcast follows its host's whims through the annals of storytelling. You never know what he'll be covering next - but you can be pretty sure that he'll have something insightful to say about the text or the person who created it. Looking forward to the Jean Toomer episode!Read full review »

More reviews of The History of Literature
Definitely a nice introduction to some writers and well done overall but lacking crucial information/context and a lot of rambling on about random stuff by the host.

This is literally (ha) the best literature podcast out there. Jacke is brilliant and I particularly love the episodes when Mike joins him. Thank you so so so much for your wonderful podcast series.
