16b. Bonus: Michael Collins on Middlemarch.
Middlemarch is not necessarily interested in epistemology, but it absolutely
is interested in the difference between objectively knowing a thing to be true
and feeling the truth. And for most people the truth does not enter into their
being until they have felt it.
As a bonus to our episode on
Middlemarch, we invited writer,
podcaster, and personal trainer Michael Collins
to join us to talk about his favourite book. We discuss what keeps drawing him
back to the novel—and which parts can be difficult to reread. We also finally
get to talk about the opinionated narrator of the novel, as well as the
striking life of its author, George Eliot.
Show Notes.
Michael Collins is on Twitter, and hosts the
podcasts This Is Your Mixtape and Dear
Reader. Some of his writings can be found on
Medium.
The episodes of This Is Your Mixtape with
Chris and
Suzanne.
Julian of Norwich: Revelations of Divine Love.
George Eliot: Silly Novels by Lady
Novelists.
Virginia Woolf: George
Eliot.
For more information about the life of George Eliot, read Rebecca Mead’s My
Life in Middlemarch, or watch a
talk that Mead gave while
writing the book.
