Delve into a realm where love, artistry, and societal constraints intertwine, as suggested by the evocative title. This podcast invites listeners to explore the complexities of relationships and the vibrant cultural backdrop of the late 19th century, a time marked by both liberation and repression. With each episode featuring a new complete audiobook, the series showcases a rotating collection of narratives that reflect the struggles and triumphs of those who dared to live authentically in a world often hostile to their truths. This is not a single story but a series of unique explorations that illuminate the lives of individuals navigating their identities amidst societal expectations. Join us in discovering a new book with every episode, as we celebrate the timeless themes of love, creativity, and the quest for acceptance that echo through the ages.

27 AUG 2026 · The Green Carnation, first published anonymously in 1894, was a scandalous novel by Robert Hichens whose lead characters are closely based on Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas - also known as 'Bosie', whom the author personally knew. It was an instant succès de scandale on both sides of the Atlantic. The book features the characters of 'Esmé Amarinth' (Wilde), and 'Lord Reginald (Reggie) Hastings' (Douglas). The words put in the mouths of the hero and his young friend in the story are mostly gathered from the sayings of their originals. Robert Hichens spent nearly a year "in the company of the men" and was able to accurately recreate the atmosphere and relationship between Oscar and Bosie. The book was withdrawn from circulation in 1895, but by that time the damage had been done. Wilde soon stood three consecutive trials for Gross Indecency and was sentenced to two years at hard labor. The Green Carnation was one of the works used against him by the prosecution. (Summary by Wikipedia)
