It was such a pleasure to be on my absolute favourite podcast, The History of Literature, talking about Jane Austen’s Persuasion.
Host Jacke Wilson and I discuss Book One, Netflix’s recent movie, middle children, bibliotherapy, class differences, and why Austen is just so damn good at satire, subtlety, and psychology.
My episode is part of Persuasion Week, which also includes a general discussion of the novel and a focus on Book Two.
Enjoy!
