I can almost now say that Mary Carr needs no introduction. This is largely due to Stephen Knight’s amazing Disney+ show called A Thousand Blows. Series 1 is out now and Series 2 is coming very soon indeed. But Emma Woodhouse has been studying the life of Mary in detail since 2021 and has a novelised account of her life out now. In 2026 she will publish a nonfiction book about Mary with Pen & Sword.
We sat down with Emma for an hour this week to create the first ever premium interview which is for paid subscribers. I will send out some clips to all members in the coming weeks, but this feature length interview (70 minutes) is behind a paywall. Free subscribers can hear a three minute sample. If you are a free subscriber you can unlock this content once using your free unlock credit.
The main painting we think is Mary Carr is Frederic Leighton’s The Maid with the Golden Hair.
Emma’s novelised account of Mary is out now, and FREE on Kindle Unlimited.
