Beci Carver on Thomas Hardy ("The Voice")
Listen now
Description
A haunting, haunted poem for us today: Beci Carver [https://english.exeter.ac.uk/staff/carver/] joins the podcast to discuss Thomas Hardy's poem for his late wife, "The Voice [https://poets.org/poem/voice]." Beci is a lecturer in 20th-century literature at University of Exeter and the author of Granular Modernism (Oxford UP, 2014). Her articles have appeared in journals like Textual Practice, Critical Quarterly, Modernism/modernity, and Essays in Criticism. She is also very close to completing her second monograph, Modernism's Whims, which I await eagerly. You can follow Beci on Twitter [https://twitter.com/becimay].
