If I'm a romantic, my parents bear no responsibility for it.

Tennyson, indeed, my father liked, but it was the Tennyson of In Memorium and Loxley Hall.

I never heard from him the Lotus Eaters or the Mort D'Arthur.

My mother, I've been told, cared for no poetry at all.

This is Pints with Jack, season nine, episode seven, The Last Romantic. After Hours with Dr.

Jeffrey Barbeau.

Have you been looking, everywhere searching for a place where you belong?

Away from the masses, among clinking where the hear the hearth fire is on

Let the laughter welcome you in that eagle and child din

There's room at this table

So take a seat and tuck right in

Pines with Jack.

Pints with Jack.

Welcome friends to Pints with Jack. We are now in the second month of season 9, so I hope

you've been enjoying it so far. And it's now halfway through Advent, so I do hope that you're ahead of the game with your Christmas shopping.

And today is an after-hours episode, so I hope you're ready for discussion about romanticism.

Today we're going to be discussing another book, which has come out of the Hanson Lectureship series at Wheaton College.

And this book is called The Last Romantic by Dr.

Jeffrey W. Barbo. Dr. Barbeau received his PhD at Marquette University and is a professor

of theology at Wheaton College. A theologian, literary critic and historian, he is the author

and editor of numerous books, including The Cambridge Companion to British Romanticism and Religion, the Spirit of Methodism, Religion in Romantic England, and the book which

we'll be discussing today, The Last Romantic, C.S. Lewis, English literature, and modern theology.
