THE BOSTONIANS Ch.15 [Meat cleaver edition] Henry James

I start today’s video with the true tale of Mary Wood’s infamous visit to the Royal Academy of Art in May 1914. Concealed in her cloak was a meat cleaver. Nothing was going to stop her from using it. In The Bostonians by Henry James, we pick it up with Olive again as she quietly schemes to separate her disciple from all past associations, including her parents. 06:19 Ch.15 #henryjames #classicliterature #booktube #readalong #royalacademy #nationalgallery #nationalgalleryofart #johnsingersargent #paintings #suffrage
