Creator Influence

Angelina Stanford

The Literary Life Podcast navigates the intersection of classical education and the Western Canon, led by Angelina Stanford, Thomas Banks, and Cindy Rollins. Operating through their educational wing, House of Humane Letters, the team provides pedagogical guidance for modern readers seeking to bridge the divide between pre-modern and contemporary thought. They regularly produce the Literary Life Online Conference, an annual event exploring themes such as the recovery of humane reading practices. Their work often features collaborations with scholars like Dr. Jason Baxter and Dr. Michael Drout to examine the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Dante. Notable recent projects include the 2026 series on Moliere’s Don Juan and long-form analysis of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. Through specialized formats like The Fellowship mentorship program and specialized webinars on pastoral poetry, they offer a structured path for students and educators to master literary theory and the intellectual tradition within a classical framework.
