Hiatus Replay: Amy Levy — Reuben Sachs with Dr. Ann Kennedy Smith

We’re back January 30, 2024 with all new episodes.  Did you know there was a controversial, now-forgotten 1888 novel written in response to George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda by a writer who has been described as “the Jewish Jane Austen?” Until recently, neither did we. Join us as we talk with Dr. Ann Kennedy Smith about author Amy Levy and her stunning, sardonic novel Reuben Sachs, which fan and friend Oscar Wilde deemed a classic.  Discussed in this episode:  Daniel Deronda by George Eliot  Reuben Sachs by Amy Levy from Persephone Books Oscar Wilde Dr. Ann Kennedy Smith on Amy Levy and Ellen Wordsworth Darwin  “Swotting Up” by Dr. Ann Kennedy Smith (TLS) Cambridge Ladies’ Dining Society Blog Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning Nathalia Crane - Lost Ladies of Lit Episode 13 Brighton and Hove High School Newnham College, Cambridge University Amy Levy’s obituary by Oscar Wilde Ellen Wordsworth Darwin Cambridge in the Long by Amy Levy Eleanor Marx Vernon Lee/Violet Paget The Jewish Chronicle The Romance of a Shop by Amy Levy Julia Neuberger  Emile Zola Alphonse Daudet Anthony Trollope A Suppressed Cry by Victoria Glendinning The Third Miss Symons by F.M.
