from The Reading Hour

Episode 3 prefaces the continuation of our reading from Part 1 of Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse by briefly acknowledging some similarities between Woolf's family and the fictional Ramsays. Because Mr. Ramsay has been intoning a line from Tennyson's "The Charge of the Light Brigade," the episode concludes with a reading of that poem about an event in the Crimean War in its entirety.
