Austen vs Woolf
Description
Jane Austen's wickedly satirical heroines have shaped our idea of romantic love. Yet for a close-up into the psyche Woolf is unrivalled. Whose view of womanhood was more real? Do Woolf's heroines reveal more about what it means to be a woman than Austen's manor-born maidens? You decide. The Panel: Smack the Pony actress and Emma screenwriter Doon Mackichan, theologian and musician Malcolm Guite, and Woolf biographer Frances Spaldnig track the evolution of womanhood.
