This was brilliant! Thank you Kate and Professor Rubery! I love his definitions of sensation fiction. He has some great insights. I am definitely going to be watching this again to take it all in. I love your reaction, Kate, when he mentioned Sabine Baring-Gould! I can't wait to check out his recommendations too!
Once again, I loved this interview!! I started this Victober with The Woman in White and followed it with Lady Audley's Secret and I'm completely in love with this genre! 😂Loved hearing Professor Rubery's thoughts. thanks, Kate
Another enjoyable and informative video. As victober is coming to a close I just want to thank you for all your hard work in giving us such great content and for me making this victober a wonderful experience
Very enjoyable conversation to listen in on. I'm currently in the middle of Wilkie Collins' No Name, my fifth Collins read. When I was doing my English degree, I tended to not do novel options because of the time-constraints of a teaching semester; I stuck to poetry and plays. As I was 35 when I started my degree, I'd already read a lot of Victorian literature anyway, but I've really enjoyed immersing myself in a good long novel since then (I'm 63). Always struggled a bit with Dickens though, I must confess. I tried Our Mutual Friend a few years ago and got stuck after about 100 pages. Love Eliot (especially Adam Bede), the Brontes (especially The Tenant of Wildfell Hall), Hardy, Braddon, and lot of Victorian gothic/supernatural stories, of which most of these writers indulged in too. Also discovered a love for Austen in recent years.
This was a fantastic discussion! I learned a lot about some books I already read and now I want to reread them. I will be sure to read every book and story mentioned. Thank you!
You have made this Victober fabulous ! This is a great interview (Bleak House is my favorite Dickens too😉) thank you for everything you’ve done this month, outstanding ❤️
Another wonderful interview Katie, how do you find your guests? I didn’t realize The Woman in White would be classed as a sensation novel and as I loved that I clearly need to read more in the genre!
Very interesting. Is he teaching in England? Wouldn't you just love to take his classes? Could we do it online? I wish I would have taken notes on the books and stories he recommended. Thanks for sharing.
Aww he mentioned Mahala:) So an obscure American sensational author not known today was E.D.E.N. Southworth. I think you might enjoy her novels:) happy Victober 😊
Really!! I will definitely have to read her letters now! Jo in Little Women is also supposedly reading one of her novels stating the author as "Northworth" or something along those lines. Both Alcott and willa cather looked down on Southworth s novels..lol
@@katehowereads Thank you Kate. You do a terrific job with these interviews. I like how you ask a question, and let your guests talk. You don't interrupt or talk over them. More please!

So fun that you read both of those!
I have recently discovered Du Maurier's "The Scapegoat". It's a sensation novel like none I've read before- except the doppleganger theme dominates.
I am really enjoying these Interviews Kate! Thanks so much for providing such rich content for Victober!
You are so welcome!
Very interesting interview. Thank you Kate. 👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you, Jodi! I'm so glad it was enjoyable for you!
Great video, very useful for introducing me to the necessary context for writing a second year essay on sensation novels :)
This was GREAT, Kate! Thank you!!
So glad you enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed hearing him.
This was so great! Thanks for doing this!
Thank you, Janelle!

Loved the Woman in White and now am compelled to reread it knowing Collins was aiming for a courtroom feel. A new lens to read through!
Yes! It's one I instantly knew I wanted to reread after finishing.
Wow. So good. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Aww he mentioned Mahala:) So an obscure American sensational author not known today was E.D.E.N. Southworth. I think you might enjoy her novels:) happy Victober 😊
So cool you should mention her! Elizabeth Gaskell raves about her writing in her letters.
Really!! I will definitely have to read her letters now! Jo in Little Women is also supposedly reading one of her novels stating the author as "Northworth" or something along those lines. Both Alcott and willa cather looked down on Southworth s novels..lol
Southworth also traveled to England and had her plays performed in both countries, one play with Lincolns murderer in it...pretty interesting:)
Is Aurora Floyd the book with several Dombey and Son references?
The Doctor's Wife is the book with the Dombey and Son references.
