GEORGE SILVERMAN'S EXPLANATION š: with Emily Middleton

Hot on the heels of Dominic's audiobook of George Silverman's Explanation comes the discussion with Dr. Emily Middleton (formerly Bell) ā¦ who weāve met before in the episodes on Oliver Twist and The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices ā¦
Emily is working on George Silverman, and other rarer Dickens stories for Oxford University Press, and has just published The Verse of Charles of Dickens for Edinburgh University Press which she has co-authored with Dr Lydia Craig. ( There is a joint episode on this with Emily and Lydia already waiting in the wings)
George Silverman's Explanation is an indictment against poverty, as powerful as you will find in any of Dickensā larger works. It is also a biting satire against the 'daring ignorance' and little 'meannesses' found in many non-conformist movements. Above all it is a deeply affecting examination of how far a childhood of of both want and punishing religious control can impact a manās self-worth and future happiness.
