26. Harriet Baker at the Bridport Literary Festival (Thursday 07 November 2.30pm)

The Country Lives of Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Townsend Warner and Rosamund Lehmann

In conversation with Olivia Glazebrook

Harriet Baker shares the story of three very different women, each of whom moved to the countryside and were forever changed by it. Following long periods of creative  uncertainty and private disappointment, each of the subjects is invigorated by new landscapes, and the daily trials and small pleasures of making a home. Rural Hours is both a paean to the bravery and vision of three pioneering writers and a passionate invitation to us all: to recognise the radical potential of domestic life in rural places.
