Interrailing across Europe has been a long-established rite of passage for British students in ‘the A-level summer’ before university.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is bound like a demon behind the screen, expressionistic but held hostage to misfortune just the same. She could be possessed by Carl Theodor Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc, the emotional suffering etched in black and white across her face. Brain cancer consumed her at the age of 53 but […]
