Barbara Barrow is a professor and novelist. In this episode we discuss her wonderful new novel The Quelling at length, and her academic monograph Science, Language, and Reform in Victorian Poetry briefly. Along the way, we extend this podcast’s already extended conversation about human dignity, we also touch upon the potential monstrosity of medicine, the meaning of classroom spaces, and Barbara’s sentimentality for Legionnaire’s Disease.
Folks who dare to listen to this podcast will want to buy The Quelling from Lanternfish Press. Sure you can buy it from the online monopoly that ruins everything, but buy it from the Lanternfish Press website, or if you are in Pittsburgh, you can find it at independent bookstores like White Whale and City Books, or you can do what I did and have the nice folks at the Mystery Lover’s Bookshop in Oakmont order you a copy.
For those folks looking for a deep dive, check out Barbara Barrow’s book Science, Language, and Reform in Victorian Poetry from Routledge, and be sure to stay up with her Facebook Page and her website barbarabarrow.com.
I swear because I always do.
