The Re-re-read: Craft Talks on Classic Literature

Ann Gelder

A fiction writer and recovering academic seeks craft lessons in classic literature. All works are in the public domain and available on https://www.gutenberg.org. The talks are 5-10 minutes, perfect for today's on-the-go author. Earlier and even more pedantic versions of these talks are available on my blog, swerveandvanish.blogspot.com.

The podcast is currently on hiatus, but please enjoy the archived episodes!
