Hannah Warner joins Clare to discuss the first comparative pairing of the season - David Malouf's 'Ransom' and Stephen Frear's film 'The Queen'. When Hannah speaks about these texts, she communicates with clarity, confidence and knowledge, and is supremely generous with both her time and the ideas she has been discussing with her own students. Sharing detailed insight into both texts in regards to context, key concerns of grief, leadership, the dual-self and family, and a deep dive into a range of symbols and how to compare these in writing, Hannah's reflection is a must-listen for any student or teacher currently engaging with this comparative pairing.
