Persuasion, Chapter 12: The Horror of The Moment

In Chapter 12 of Persuasion, tragedy strikes our characters in Lyme! Louisa falls on her head and Anne must jump into action to face the emergency.

As a special treat this week our favorite Austen scholars, Dr. Roxanne Eberle, joins us to dissect the chapter. At the end of the episode we call Dr. Will Tullett, author of Sniff: A History of Smells, to discuss smelling salts.
