In Episode 3, we move into the Edwardian era — a time caught between Victorian tradition and the uncertainties of modernity. This episode explores how the theme of twins, doubles, and opposites evolved in the literature of the early 20th century, reflecting deep questions about morality, identity, and societal change.We examine the sharp contrasts and mirrored personalities found in the works of Arthur Conan Doyle, where reason and instinct often collide — especially in characters like Sherlock Holmes and his criminal counterparts. We then turn to Joseph Conrad, whose fiction probes the dualities of civilization and savagery, surface and depth. Finally, we look at John Galsworthy’s The Forsyte Saga, where family tensions and generational opposites play out in subtle but powerful ways.Join me as we explore how Edwardian authors used the motif of doubles and opposites to navigate a world on the edge of transformationMusic Credit: from tunetank 'Memory' by Musicstockproduction
