Ep. 658: Huswifs | Chapters 19-21 / Volume 2, Chapters 1-3

Book talk begins at 11:35.

This week, we chat with a woman who talks in hilariously long, winding sentences, often interrupting herself and losing her train of thought. Oh, and her niece—with a heartwarming backstory—joins us too!

• Clip from Jane Austen vs Emily Brontë: The Queens of English Literature Debate with Dominic West When you watch the full video, know that the actors are: —Samuel West (SO good right now in the Slow Horses series), —Eleanor Tomlinson (who—after this—played a marvelous Demelza in the Poldark reboot), —Mariah Gale (who seriously, is the ONLY Ophelia I've ever thought was worth her salt—it's worth it to track the David Tenant recording of their Hamlet), and —Dominic West (who you don't hear in the Emma scene, but is excellent at everything. If you haven't seen him read Yeats before you've missed out.

Please visit the Intelligence Squared channel on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Intelligence-Squared for this and many other videos that could have been made for the CraftLitterati. Enjoy!
