taking things literary

the other week, i was listening to the radio and heard an interview about virginia woolf, the role of the character in narrative and a woman she called "mrs brown"
it was wonderful to hear someone talk about virginia woolf, it was wonderful hearing an intelligent and articulate voice, melba cuddy-keane, a canadian scholar, it was good to be hearing with my "literary, intellectual" head - something i haven't bothered with for ages
transcript and audio linked
the book, Virginia Woolf, the Intellectual and the Public Sphere, by melba cuddy-keane
and then again the other night, an interview with james shapiro discussing his book, contested will: who wrote shakespeare?
less academic, more anecdotal, just as intriguing
transcript and audio linked
people writing about the book -
