This one is sort of luring me in! Looking forward to your vid and the next session. Thanks for doing this π€
βJoy is as restless as anxiety or sorrow.β
A Sicilian Romance, Ann Radcliffe.
Enjoying reading her second work (for the first time) as part of @romgothsam.bsky.social βs amazing course on Radcliffe. π€
Abso-****ing-lutely
At Haworth Parsonage there are badges with βTeam Branwellβ on, and itβs like why? Give me one single reason why.
They talk to each other too and look after each other. This blew my mind when I found this out
Ah thatβs so helpful to know! Thanks
Any chance of the video being uploaded soon? Would love to watch before submitting this week
βFrankenstein outsold all Percyβs work in his lifetimeβ
To all agents, presses, prizes and any other gatekeepers of creativity; if you are as inclusive as your EDI statement suggests, you need to make submissions anonymous. You donβt need a bio to tell you if you believe in the work. Lack of anonymity risks unconscious bias. See below for best practice
Iβm maybe a bit too much me and could do with taking a bit of a step back
Will have a look at By the Ionian Sea, itβs quite well regarded I think. Jubilee I read and enjoyed a lot, especially as I know the areas he describes eg Camberwell π€
On her deathbed, to her husband, Charlotte BrontΓ« referring to God in saying βOh, I am not going to die, am I? He will not separate us. We have been so happy.β

Please

My favourite Dickens πππ
I feel like something that rarely gets brought up in Wuthering Heights discourse is that itβs the most beautifully written novel of the century. More like a prose poem with characters than any other novel of the period.
Thank you for making it accessible re online.
YES
Iβm looking forward to having read them all and then circling back to The Italian and Udolpho, seeing what I think of them all in relation to each other. And very much looking forward to your expertise! π€
So am I! Really looking forward to spending proper time on Radcliffe. Reading A Sicilian Romance right now π€
Treated myself to this on Jan payday, very excited π€
Ruby by Rosa Guy (1991) springs to mind although not sure if it has a HEA - havenβt read it in a long time
Oh yes I see. I find he doesnβt really provide solutions, much more true to life in that way, things go on and people just muddle through. Will check out the MLQ essay, thank you
Whatβs the other one youβve read?
