Sepia-toned close-up portrait photograph of Virginia Woolf from 1927. She appears from the shoulders up against a dark studio backdrop, wearing a voluminous fluffy fur stole, with her left hand resting gently against her cheek and a ring visible on her finger. Her light hair is parted in the center and styled in soft waves, and she gazes directly at the camera with wide eyes and a subtle, closed-mouth expression.
⚠️ CW: Comments may contain discussion of suicide.
English writer Virginia Woolf died #OTD in 1941. She was 59.
Woolf is considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. #literature #litsky #booksky

This is so funny to me, bc Higgins (allegedly) had to seek a dispensation, but at TWHS in 10th-grade Pre-AP English, this was just part of the curriculum
We had to do music videos based on The Scarlett Letter…

A split image pairing an ancient-style illustration of the Greek poet Sappho on the left—shown in profile with curly black hair in long braids, wearing a golden laurel crown, head covering, and pleated orange robes against a deep blue background—with the modern book cover on the right titled “Ode to Aphrodite: The Poems and Fragments of Sappho,” featuring a dark leafy pattern, a glowing golden textured fragment, and credits for translators John Myres o’ Hare & Henry De Vere Stacpoole.
Ancient Greek poet Sappho (c. 630 - c. 570 BC) is known for her lyric #poetry, written to be sung while accompanied by music. #WorldPoetryDay
In ancient times, she was widely regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets. Most of her poetry is now lost; only the 𝘖𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘈𝘱𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘦 is complete. #litsky

Li Qingzhao's work is celebrated for its "intense emotionality" & "startling originality." Her early work captures the joys of her happy marriage & the leisure of youth. The style of her later works after her husband's death shifted to profound longing, grief, and solitude. #WorldPoetryDay #litsky

A side-by-side historical composite image featuring Harriet Beecher Stowe and the title page of her influential 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. Left side: Black-and-white portrait of Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896), the American abolitionist writer, shown as an elderly woman seated in three-quarter view. She has curly, graying hair with a center part, a calm and dignified expression gazing directly at the camera, and wears a dark shawl over a lighter garment with a white lace collar or fichu. Right side: The original 1852 title page from the first edition (or early printing) of Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly by Harriet Beecher Stowe. The aged, sepia-toned page displays elegant typography with the full title in large uppercase letters, the subtitle "LIFE AMONG THE LOWLY," and authorship "BY HARRIET BEECHER STOWE." A small wood-engraved illustration depicts enslaved people gathered inside a humble cabin under a thatched roof, with figures in emotional interaction. Publisher information reads: "VOL. I. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH THOUSAND. BOSTON: JOHN P. JEWETT & COMPANY. CLEVELAND, OHIO: JEWETT, PROCTOR & WORTHINGTON. 1852." The page shows natural aging, including slight discoloration. This pairing highlights Stowe's role as a pioneering female author whose bestselling novel galvanized anti-slavery sentiment in the United States and contributed significantly to the abolitionist cause.
#OTD in 1852, Harriet Beecher Stowe's 𝘜𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘦 𝘛𝘰𝘮'𝘴 𝘊𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘯 was first published.
Best-selling novel of the 19th century, it remains a landmark in American literature for its role in shifting public opinion against slavery & accelerating the path to the Civil War.

the pages dance
and come alive
alas perchance
the dreamers thrive
as circumstance
has taken sides
with moves askance
at once contrived
the broken trance
of daily lives
the pages dance
and come alive...
