Thank you for the alert. I am listening to it on archive. It was funny the host mention they had nobody on line to discuss the novel at the 20 minute mark.
ReplyDeleteAs the scholars said, Villette is more under-read book than an underrated one. Nevertheless, they had several phone calls :P, even Brontë enthusiasts :P.
ReplyDeleteThe discussion addressed much of the usual Villette topics: the very particular characteristics of the narrator, Lucy Snowe, the modern qualities of the narration and of the ending (with the unavoidable mention to The Sopranos!), the detailed hdescription of extreme emotional states, the anticatholicism issue... It was surprising that although it was mentioned, the evident biographical background of Villette was not very much discussed... or that The Professor was not even mentioned.
