Henry Moore is best known for his sculpture but it was, in fact, thanks to an exhibition of his Shelter drawings at the National Gallery in 1942 that Moore first received widespread recognition in Britain. This new exhibition, featuring over 150 drawings, explores his prolific career on paper.

In the first Front Row Late of 2019, Mary Beard will be looking at the posthumous reputations of writers, musicians and artists.

As a short story Sylvia Plath wrote at the age of 20 is published for the first time, Mary and her guest will discuss whether or not every piece of early work by a literary legend deserves to be published. From Kafka to Tupac and Amy Winehouse, posthumous work sells and adds to a body of work - but what’s the responsibility of those who look after artists’ legacies?

Mary will also explore our fascination with the artefacts great writers leave behind when they die, visiting Doris Lessing’s archive to ask how personal effects and ephemera paint a picture of a great writer’s life.
