Starting in late 2024, we will be reading through Persuasion. In every episode, we will be covering two or three chapters of the book, and also looking at one character in detail, and some aspect of the historical context. Each episode will finish with a discussion about one or more of the adaptations (or modernisations or continuations or variations) of the book.
Below is the planned breakdown of episodes, although it is subject to change.
