The listening of the eyes

    Oxford's Ashmolean Museum has launched Thinking with Things, a series of podcasts in which an academic examines an object from the museum's collection which relates to their research.

    You can find the episode list here, and above watch Dame Hermione Lee on Walter Sickert's painting 'Ennui', with reference to Virginia Woolf's essay on the subject.

That was delightful, thank you. I shall look at the list and decide what else to listen to.

Thank you for pointing these out - I have bookmarked & will tune in later in the week.

Thank you, what a treat, I'm a fan of Hermione Lee and, on a very shallow level, I really liked her dress and boots!
