Helen Lewis: Genius Myth
Acclaimed journalist and author of Difficult Women, Helen Lewis takes a timely and entertaining look at the myth of genius in Genius Myth. Tracing the history of invention, inspiration and the elevation of certain lives to ‘greatness,’ she examines who society celebrates, who it excludes and what it tolerates. From Leonardo da Vinci’s Renaissance Florence to Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Helen unravels the meaning of genius, exploring the Beatles, Jane Austen, Stephen Hawking, and the modern consequences of this enduring idea.
