Good evening and welcome to this episode where we conclude looking at E BrontĆ«ās startling novel, that takes an evening to read and a lifetime to digest.
Like the clouds above the moors, like her brother, father, sisters and friends, Emily understands perhaps that we human animals are creatures of ever shape and time-shifting forms. Our characters are best understood in the glimpses offered by of interactions with people and places. Itās a novel for me that offers up such snapshots as though her job as author was merely to skim off the stuff that rose to the top: the rest is visible to her but invisible not only to us but to her characters themselves. As in life where the motives of others are invisible to us. āHere is all is: make of it what you willā she cries, laughing and stepping out of herself and the conventions that surround her. A freedom only truly to be found outside of life.
Top 10 in Global Rankings according to Listen Notes.
Guests include historian Tom Holland; Art historian Philip Mould; Vicar Angela Tilby; Author Bijan Omrani; Dorset garden hedgehog family, the Venerable Bede and other guests.
Your daily dose of calm. Unpolished and unscripted but no ads and no requests for anything but your company. Trying to make the world a gentler place with literature, history and nature. Please donāt expect to find a polished product. The output is lower tier but the authenticity is hopefully as good as it gets. š¦
