Following on from our previous episode of the Bardcast's mini-series on euthanasia in film, novel and drama: helping people imagine the out-workings of government-assisted dying in order to oppose the Leadbetter Bill, Sarah de Nordwall and her guest Robert Cassidy have an energetic discussion of the remarkable 1907 novel “Lord of the World” by Robert Hugh Benson and explore the principles at work in a society that produces the “strange fruit” of state sanctioned euthanasia.
Learn about the tragic and prescient story of 18 year old Mabel and what she learns at the end…that her society could never have helped her imagine.
