Ep 24 – The Authors

Today on The Glorious Beard, we are looking at five authors whose work shaped different parts of literature.

We start with Edgar Allan Poe, whose approach to structure and rhythm changed the way short stories and detective fiction were written.

Then we move to Henry David Thoreau, who used simple, direct observation to build ideas that still influence writing about nature and society.

From there, we look at Fyodor Dostoyevsky, a writer who focused sharply on moral conflict, psychology, and the pressure of circumstance.

Then its William Wordsworth … known for shifting poetry toward everyday language and close attention to the natural world.

Finally, we finish with Stephen King, a modern author whose consistency and storytelling range have made him a central figure in contemporary fiction.

All this and more… on this episode of The Glorious Beard.
