This week, Thea Lenarduzzi and Lucy Dallas are joined by Emma Smith, Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Hertford College, Oxford, to discuss the new Arden 3 edition of ‘Measure for Measure’, one of the "problem plays" (word-bothers, en garde); the poet and translator Beverley Bie Brahic marks 200 years since the birth of Charles Baudelaire, whose extraordinary work seems bizarrely neglected; plus, Charlotte Mew, and the dangers of ancient Greek medicine.
Measure for Measure, edited by A. R. Braunmuller and Robert N. Watson (Arden Shakespeare)
The Invention of Medicine: From Homer to Hippocrates, by Robin Lane Fox
This Rare Spirit: A Life of Charlotte Mew, by Julia Copus
