  3. Silence Grips the Town.
  The third of five programmes in which novelist Dame Hilary Mantel discusses the role that history plays in our lives. In this lecture Hilary tells the story of how an obsessive relationship with history killed the young Polish writer Stanislawa Przybyszewska. The brilliant Przybyszewska wrote gargantuan plays and novels about the French Revolution, in particular about the revolutionary leader Robespierre. She lived in self-willed poverty and isolation and died unknown in 1934. But her work, so painfully achieved, did survive her. Was her sacrifice worthwhile? "She embodied the past until her body ceased to be," Dame Hilary says. "Multiple causes of death were recorded, but actually she died of Robespierre."  (Part 3 of 5, BBC)  Listen   Transcript
