So sorry about this.

The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton.

From the Kunstkammer to the Moderationskoffer: a (sad) history of the professionalisation of scholarship.

That money was only resting in my account. (To replace, variously, moneylenders in the temple, the rich man and the camel/needle, the poor shall inherit the earth etc.).

Did it lead to a discussion of the difference between a misfortune and a calamity?

May depend on what aspect of his work you are interested in: I use 'New Ethnicities' (essay) and 'Race, the Floating Signifier' (lecture) to teach black British fiction. They are really good! But his most famous book is probably Policing the Crisis.

I think it's only the curtains and knick-knacks that ruin it. Fill the shelves with books and add some hinged solid shutters and the rest would be fine.

I'm supervising an undergraduate project on romantasy that argues precisely this.

And the Thane of Cawdor he replaced was executed as a traitor to King Duncan (so, twice in a row). "Nothing in his life became him as the leaving it."

Giorgia Meloni condemns Donald Trump's 'unacceptable' criticism of Pope Italy's prime minister and the US president are close allies, but Trump has refused to apologise to the

So sorry about the whole situation there. Our management have been a bit more supportive of the Humanities, but how long that will last is 🤷‍♀️.

It's no so much the implausibility as the fact that, as a consequence, it's impossible to give the narrative coherent form even retrospectively. So maybe (going by H White's definitions) we should just go with an annalistic account and not even try to make sense of the absurdities.

And when they are older, there is a Heinz Baked Beans recipe book. Tried and trusted present for my son's friends' birthdays.

Glocalisation!

If it is proven, will the government condemn it? Did it condemn this kind of strike when it was used in Gaza (genuine q: I don't remember them doing it but may be wrong)? And still, the King is going to the US and give Trump the opportunity to bask in the visit.

And to you, Dom!

I do that in Bristol & my policy is to find out in advance from the teachers what students are covering for A-Level + include that: e.g. Marxist reading of Gatsby or Wuthering Heights; theories of detective fiction; Atonement and the country house novel. Not quite what you are asking but it works.

Even Giorgia Meloni has spoken strongly about this.

I always thought, from the novels, that her "straying" was a matter of class more than anything else. (Middle-class George is a curiosity among Ann's upper-class acquaintances and her lovers are either of the Lady Chatterley's gamekeeper variety or fellow aristos.)

And not even just historians: from Zygmunt Baumann at one end of to Robert Harris'Fatherland at the other!

I'd like to see a fanfiction take on an Ofsted inspection to Hogwarts (it's a boarding school but not private, so would fall under the remit). Imagine the safeguarding section!
Also: it's supposed to be bad that the Ministry takes over Hogwarts in OotP but this is after a child *literally dies.*

Gentry v aristocracy works better, though? (Not least because the gentry *can* be cash-poor like the Weasleys.)

Trying to decide how nostalgic I want to be: card indexes on the mezzanine, navigating the bizarre non-Dewey cataloguing + shelving system, random nooks among the bookstacks to work in .
I do like the building (like a mid-sized city's town hall) and the fun connection to the red telephone box.

You are both too high brow! To me the best thing about the UL were the cheese scones in the cafe. This was 20+ year ago but I hope they still have them.

The town, surely?

King Lear.

It's the only one I read and I enjoyed it, mostly I think because it's not a continuation so much as a "below stairs" set of events during P&P.

Have you read Longbourn? That also has an interesting take on Mary.

Ed Davey's elections team: 👀.
