E28: Re: Letters and Epistolary Novels | Everyday Forum Podcast

In this episode, join screenwriter, director and translator of Dangerous Liaisons, Sir Christopher Hampton; Harvard University literature professor Deidre Lynch; and Canadian author Amal El-Mohtar, as they explore the history of letter writing and its influence on literature and society. From the rise of technology that reshaped personal connections to the development of the epistolary novel, the panel offers a titillating and scholarly exploration of the psychology behind our tastes and the misunderstandings that different forms of communication can cause – moderated by this season’s Marquise de Merteuil, Jessica B. Hill. Support for The Meighen Forum is generously provided by Kelly & Michael Meighen and the T.R. Meighen Family Foundation.
