"Step into the dimly lit world of the Paris Opera, a place where the grandeur of art meets the depths of mystery. In this chilling teaser for 'The Ghost in The Opera House,' witness firsthand the eerie tales that have echoed through the corridors, told by those who have dared to encounter 'Le Fantôme.' From the fireman Papin's spine-chilling encounter with a fiery apparition in the cellars to Joseph Buquet's unnerving tales of a skull-headed specter, each story weaves a tapestry of intrigue and fear. These whispered accounts of spectral sightings and unexplained phenomena set the stage for a story steeped in horror and enigma.

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow—
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand—
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep—while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

'He understands only the women he invents – the others not at all' 

 Thomas Hardy is one of the most beloved and most-read British authors. His influence on literature and the minds of his readers is singular. But how is it that the novelist who created some of the most memorable and modern female characters in literature had such troubled relationships with real women?

In this highly innovative book, acclaimed biographer Paula Byrne re-examines Hardy’s life through the eyes of the women who made him – mother, sisters, girlfriends, wives, muses. The story veers from shocking scenes such as his obsession with the sight of a woman hanged, to poignant vignettes of unfulfilled passion, to fascinating details of working women’s lives in the nineteenth century.

Hardy Women is the story of how the magnificent fictional women he invented would not have been possible without the hardship and hardiness of the real ones who shaped his passions and his imagination. It is only through understanding and witnessing these hardy women that we can truly enter the heart of this great novelist and poet.

Episode 46-20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

In this episode Grade 12 Student David Wamba explores the rebellious legacy of J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the
Rye" (1951)_ — a book that gave teens a voice, shocked adults, and changed how we talk about mental health, identity, and truth. Discover why it’s more than just a banned book — it’s a historical symbol of youth expression.

This episode was produced by David for his CHY4U World History course RST - where students were challenged to select a topic from 1950-Present that appears in Billy Joel's or Fallout Boy's "We Didn't Start the Fire" (1989 or 2024)

The Reconciliation Epilogue

Recorded October 7th, 2025.

A seminar by Prof Jarlath Killeen (School of English, TCD) as part of the English Staff-Postgraduate Seminar Series.

"Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses." 
The Picture of Dorian Gray opens in the studio of Basil Hallward in which the smells of an English garden at the start of summer mingle with the smoke of Lord Henry Wotton's opium-tinged cigarettes. This scent puts Dorian into a trance in which it is difficult, if not impossible for him, to resist the temptations offered: one located in Basil entrancing portrait, the other in Lord Henry’s mind-numbing peons to ever-blossoming youth and beauty. In this noxious atmosphere a new plant will grow, one even more dangerous than those that Hallward already has in the garden: the plant that is Dorian Gray. This talk will look at the ways in which Wilde has carefully used a Victorian language of the flowers throughout his novel as a way to dramatise the struggle between the forces of good and evil over Dorian's soul. 

English Staff-Postgraduate Seminar Series is a fortnightly meeting which has been integral to the School of English research community since the 1990s. The aim of the seminar series is to provide a relaxed and convivial atmosphere for staff and students to present their research to their peers. The series also welcomes distinguished guest lecturers from the academic community outside Trinity College to present on their work. It is a fantastic opportunity to share ideas and engage with the diverse research taking place within the School.

The Blooming of Dorian Gray

i wrote this song in 2019 for a class.

dark, spellbound tug-of-war between the human side and the supernatural in her blood. inspired by "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina", the song's written from the Sabrina's point of view. it asks what evil actually means... and if power is something to fear or embrace. 

cinematic, witchy, dramatic, and beautifully unhinged.
