The Virginia Woolf Podcast

Who Killed Mrs Ramsay?

June 18, 2022 • Karina Jakubowicz • Season 1 • Episode 4

Karina talks with Prof Maggie Humm's about her debut novel, Talland House.

Talland House builds on Woolf's famous novel To the Lighthouse, exploring the Cornish art scene in the 1920s, expanding on the character of Lily Briscoe, and asking the ultimate question - who killed Mrs Ramsay?

Maggie Humm is an Emeritus Professor at the University of East London in the UK. An international Woolf scholar, she is the author/editor of fourteen books, the last three of which focused on Woolf and the arts. Talland House was shortlisted for the Impress and Fresher Fiction prizes (as Who Killed Mrs. Ramsay?) and the Retreat West and Eyelands prizes.
