Help us tell Mary's story: Call for short story proposals for Parthian Books.

I'm on a Scottish mini-tour reunion this week: discussing Decadent Editions at University of Glasgow on Wed and giving my first paper from 100 Years of The Well of Loneliness at University of Stirling on Thurs. Excited to see faces old and new! www.gla.ac.uk/colleges/art...

It was a pleasure and a privilege to be in conversation with my amazing colleague and dear friend Jade French about our books - and to share it with Feminist Modernist Studies. If you're interested in women's writing, periodisation, ageing and thinking across generations, check out our little chat.

In Cambridge, about to look at the Amy Levy archives for the first time. To say I am excited is a severe understatement..!

We're getting ready for a new semester - our first event will be Dr Daniel Ibrahim Abdalla (University of Liverpool), ‘Imagining Alternative Arctics’: Literature and the Legacy of Polar Science from the 1890s to the Present - Wed 25 Feb, 16.00-17.00, in person and online via Teams (DM for link).

A copy of Tales Accursed a Folk Horror anthology defaced with a pen illustration of the Schnabelperchten.

The Schnabelperchten sat at a spotlessly clean kitchen table.

As I'm sure you're aware, the fifth of January is the day of the Schnabelperchten, a creature of Austrian folklore who will check your house for cleanliness. If they decide you haven't done a good enough job, they'll slit open your belly and fill it with straw. Happy New Year..!

Update: Took the newly dubbed 'Radclyffe Ball' to the lecture and somehow conjured a queer rainbow in the process 🌈

Appear to have gone low-key viral with my Hall/Troubridge head, as is only mete and correct. I've now successfully transported it to my office (phew) and it will be shown to the students in their Well of Loneliness lecture today if @drclaireocall.bsky.social allows me to interrupt proceedings...

Honestly, the Hall face looked so much like Wes Streeting for a bit that I was genuinely concerned that I had inadvertently made a Wes Streeting portrait by mistake..!

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Radclyffe Hall and Lady Una Troubridge rendered in papier-mâché. A masterpiece, I'm sure you will agree.

Amazing achievement Hannah, well done!
