Jane Austen: How to Spot a Wrong'un (with Paddy Bullard and Isabel Hughes)
Absolute Units
It is a truth universally acknowledged that every podcast about the history of the English countryside must do an episode on Jane Austen.
In the first of two conversations, Joe and Ollie are joined by Professor Paddy Bullard (University of Reading) and Isabel Hughes (MERL Associate Director) to explore Jane Austen's links to farming, as found in her personal biography and her literature.
We're back on Tuesday 16 Dec for a second episode on the Austen theme, marking the date of Austen's birthday.
