Everything Everywhere Daily - Hildegard of Bingen

Over a thousand years ago, a wealthy family in Germany gave birth to their tenth child, a daughter. 


They gave their child to the church, as was the custom in those days. She grew to become the leader of her monastic community. 


More than that, she became one of the leading thinkers of her era. She composed music, wrote about medicine and theology, revolutionized brewing, and corresponded with kings and emperors.


Learn more about Hildegard of Bingen, the most influential woman of the Middle Ages, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Allison Epstein’s ‘Fagin the Thief’ gives a Charles Dickens character a second chance

Author Allison Epstein says when she read Oliver Twist, she found Charles Dickens' portrayal of Fagin, the novel's central scoundrel, to be stereotypical and antisemitic. But there was also something about the character that piqued her curiosity. Now, her new novel Fagin the Thief gives that character a backstory – and a literary second chance. In today's episode, Epstein speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about her research into where someone like Fagin might've grown up, her reimagination of the character's intentions, and how she came to view Dickens as a working writer.
