Jane Morris & Me: Learning to Listen

By Jane Herlihy

In a world abuzz with stories, how are we to learn from each other if we are not listening properly? By listening fully, carefully, ethically to each other, we can reshape our own narratives. Recovering from post-viral fatigue, clinical psychologist Jane Herlihy researched and wrote 'secret diaries' for Jane Morris and found that the famous Victorian artist's model had more to her than we have been told. Frustrated at how Janey's story has been moulded by male voices and by a culture, then and now, that needs her to fit, the author explores how visiting places, handling objects, even embodying a person across time and culture can help to free us from restricting myths. Interweaving memoir, listening theories and extracts from the fictional diaries this unique narrative guides us towards ways to listen to each other and to hear about new - and old - ways to live.
