Arguing gods, quarrelling composers and sibling rivalry: Pooky Quesnel and Andonis Anthony read poems and prose on the theme of feuds and arguments from the petty to the deadly.
It's hatred rather than love that inspires us this week as we turn our attention to feuds, rivalries, arguments and quarrels. We feature literary spats between the Romantic poets; Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf; and Lord Byron and pretty much everyone. Plus sibling rows, family feuds, and lovers at odds, as well as stand-offs between gangs, good versus evil in Heaven and one man’s quest to hunt a certain whale. The musical rivalries include Mozart v Salieri, Brahms v Liszt and Debussy v Ravel.
