Episode 8: On death, disappearance,
Episode 8: On death, disappearance, and a half-finished book
Today I'm giving the spotlight to Charles Dickens' final work "The Mystery of Edwin Drood"! Having written only 6 of the proposed 12 parts before he died, Dickens has left in "Drood" a mystery that has been the subject of debate and speculation for almost 150 years!
I discuss a little of the plot, a lot of the history behind the writing, and wrap up with 1914's stage production "The Trial of John Jasper for the Murder of Edwin Drood", which included such celebrities as G.K. Chesterton and George Bernard Shaw.
