Show Notes
The Early Modern English of Shakespeare’s time sets up an immersive auditory realm where listeners find 61-year-old apothecary and midwife Judith. She is the last of the Bard’s progeny, and she must leave town after being accused of witchcraft. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile contributor Leslie Fine discuss the way that narrator Mary Jane Wells’s fluted tones and English accent add to the authenticity of the characters as Judith and her traveling companion struggle to deal with the upheaval wrought by England’s Civil War. It’s not necessary to be familiar with the literature or history of this era to enjoy this engrossing story.
