Episode 12: Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell
The PhDrunks are back and ready for the revolution after a pandemic fortnight (that's however long it's been since the last episode). In this episode, Brynn, Cris, and Ellis get real fired about class disparity and Victorian gender norms in Elizabeth Gaskell's 1848 novel, Mary Barton. This…

Episode 1A for Adaptation: Emma (1996), Clueless, and Emma (2020)
Brynn and Ellis step in for a special unscheduled episode in our totally unplanned A for Adaptation miniseries while Cris attempts to adult. They dissect (i.e. drunkenly ramble about) three different movie adaptations of Jane Austen's Emma.: the 1996 adaptation with Gwyneth Paltrow, the beloved…

Episode 11: Fantomina by Eliza Haywood
Scandalous! Sexy! Hilarious! We could go on about all of our favorite things about Eliza Haywood's classic novela, Fantomina but we do enough of that in this episode. Our raucous energy is strong in this one, Dear Readers. Haywood would be proud. This episode of PhDrunk is brought to you by...

Episode 10: The Odd Women by George Gissing
In classic PhDrunkard style, we drink too many of Ellis's latest Totally Made-Up Cocktail and wonder why someone always has to die in New Women novels. This episode is brought to you by secret gin stashes, free unions, and not talking to strangers,

Episode 9: Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon
Dear Readers, in today's episode we spend most of our time fawning over our new queer hero, #sweetbabybobby. Sure, this novel has a sexy scheming blonde, doppelgangers, murders most foul, and more, but the narrator stole our hearts and that's why we will love this book forever. This week's…

Episode 8: The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole
This week Brynn, Cris, and Ellis take a stab at the Gothic classic, The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole. Ellis rages. Brynn makes sex puns. Cris gets wasted. Basically, it's business as usual but with a Totally Made Up Drinking Game. This episode is brought to you by giant armor, trap doors,...

Episode 7: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Ellis is back from her sabbatical (finally) and we all three go down the rabbit hole and chat about this morsel of literary nonsense. We discuss why Carroll was a massive creep and what U.S. president is the political equivalent of the Queen of Hearts. This episode is brought to you by Mock...

Episode 6: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
If you are determined to read this book as a love story we are so about to kill that vibe. Cris and Brynn rant about who is the most Byronic hero, discuss whether this book is racist (Spoiler: yes), and cringe over the shit Brynn underlined in her high school copy. This episode is brought to you…

Episode 5: Belinda by Maria Edgeworth
To be fair, we should probably warn you that we only talk about the main character for approximately 10 seconds. The other 40+ minutes of this episode are devoted to the inimitable Lady Delacour, whose motto is most likely some version of RuPaul's "we're all born naked and the rest is drag." This...
-
Episode 4: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
Ellis is on "sabbatical," so Brynn and Cris go slightly wild with the first in a series of C18/early C19 novels, Sense and Sensibility by the inimitable Jane Austen. We drink our first Totally Made Up Cocktail, discuss class inequality, and wonder if all the men in this novel are trash. Spoiler...

Episode 3: A Simple Story by Elizabeth Inchbald
There's lots of great stuff in this late-eighteenth-century novel but of course, we focus on the sexxxy. Wanna discuss gendered expectations, anger issues, and whether or not Miss Milner was justified in her infidelity? We've got you. This episode is brought to you by defrocked priests, disowned...
-
Episode 2: Salome of the Tenements by Anzia Yezierska
Things are gonna get political AF, Dear Readers. This early 20th-century novel about the Jewish immigrant experience in America has us fired up and in our cups. This episode is brought to you by soggy brown loaves, magic grey dresses, and double consciousness.
