If you’re drawn to the hefty tomes of Victorian authors Anthony Trollope and George Eliot, we can pretty much guarantee you’ll enjoy this week’s novel, Hester, as much as we did. Margaret Oliphant is said to have been one of Queen Victoria’s favorite novelists, and she counted J.M. Barrie and Robert Louis Stevenson among her many fans. Joining us to discuss Hester is New York Times columnist and pediatrician Dr. Perri Klass. Discussed in this episode: Hester by Margaret OliphantDr. Perri KlassGeorge EliotAnthony TrollopeMiddlemarch by George EliotBlackwoods MagazineThe Brontes Henry JamesThe Best Medicine by Perri KlassCharles DickensPride and Prejudice by Jane AustenDorothea BrookeThe Chronicles of Barsetshire by Anthony TrollopeThe Chronicles of Carlingford by Margaret OliphantReach Out and ReadMiss Marjoriebanks by Margaret OliphantFor episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.
