This podcast explores and celebrates great moments in literature, those sentences, episodes, openings, endings...which are often the very reason you remember the work. Some of the works looked at include Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure, Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, Shakespeare's Hamlet, the poems of Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes, Jane Austen's Persuasion, among many other well-known and perhaps lesser know texts. We'll explore the moment, set it in its context, and consider what makes it so unforgettable.

    It is only a story.

    Your story. My story.


    Once heard, these final two lines of Ted Hughes' poem from 'Visit' cannot be forgotten. Vernacular, emphatic, poignant, and very Yorkshire. In this opening episode, I look at what makes them so memorable.
