Episode 318: Jane Lumley: The Tudor Woman Who Translated Euripides and Shaped Two Great Families

In this episode, we explore the life of Jane Lumley, a Tudor
noblewoman whose translations made her one of the earliest female
scholars in English literature. Through her, we trace the
intertwined stories of the FitzAlan and Lumley families, the
politics that shaped their world, and the remarkable library that
preserved her work. From Nonsuch to the Lumley Chapel at Cheam, her
life offers a rare window into the quieter, book-filled side of
Tudor England.
