Description

In this episode, Kim and Amy have a conversation about Constance Fenimore Woolson’s novel Anne (1880) with professor and author Anne Boyd Rioux, whose biography of Woolson was named one of 2016’s ten best books of the year by The Chicago Tribune.  Woolson, a close friend of Henry James, is remembered as a salacious footnote in his story, yet upon its publication, her novel Anne sold ten times as many copies as James’s Portrait of a Lady. Learn more about Woolson’s fascinating life, and find out what makes her novel one we know you’ll want to read too. For episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.
