An innovative new podcast created by second year English Literature students from the University of Ë®¶à¶àµ¼º½’s School of Arts, Languages and Cultures transports the culture and economy of Victorian Ë®¶à¶àµ¼º½ to the airwaves.
Downloadable on Soundcloud, the podcast series includes casts concerning feminism and interviews and is a creative outlet for sharing thoughts and theories on the course module Victorian Ë®¶à¶àµ¼º½: Culture and Economy, which explores the way Ë®¶à¶àµ¼º½ as a city was experiencing the cultural and industrial revolutions of that era.

Browning is one of the best-known Romantic poets of the Victorian era, producing works that focused on the political and social themes, and the male domination of women.
