Consolation is not on the map

This podcast explores and celebrates great moments in literature, those sentences, episodes, openings, endings...which are often the very reason you remember the work. Some of the works looked at include Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure, Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, Shakespeare's Hamlet, the poems of Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes, Jane Austen's Persuasion, among many other well-known and perhaps lesser know texts. We'll explore the moment, set it in its context, and consider what makes it so unforgettable. To get in touch: Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
