Persuasion, Chapter 5: Mary, Often a Little Unwell

In Chapter 5 of Persuasion, Anne warns Elizabeth about the influence of Mrs. Clay and then heads to Uppercross to visit her other sister Mary. This week we're joined by the brilliant Carvell Wallace to dissect the chapter.

This week, Helen Neild also joins us at the end of the episode to understand dentistry in the early 19th century.

Carvell is co-leading our What Matters class for the next year, which starts in just one week! You can sign-up for that here.
