590 Blotted Lines (with Adhaar Noor Desai) | My Last Book with Lara Vetter

from The History of Literature · host Jacke Wilson / The Podglomerate

How do geniuses compose their poetry and prose? Do they carefully and laboriously revise until they achieve perfection? Or does perfection just flow out of them - as it reportedly did for Shakespeare? In this episode, Adhaar Noor Desai (Blotted Lines: Early Modern English Literature and the Poetics of Discomposition) tells Jacke about the discoveries he made when analyzing the manuscripts of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. PLUS Lara Vetter (H.D. (Hilda Dolittle): A Critical Life) discusses her choice for the last book she will ever read. Help support the show at patreon.com/literature or historyofliterature.com/donate.
