Incidentally, my fun fact for today is that my English teacher at secondary school’s name was Mary Ann Evans. Yes, that’s right - George Eliot’s real name.

#21 of books read in 2025: I hesitated reading Gaskell after really disliking Mary Barton. I was surprised at how much better this was! The prose was great and the story interesting. Had a curiously modern feel to it. Highly recommend! #victorianlit #booksky #litsky

First post - but it’s a significant one. My PhD in physical form for the very first time! #gettingvivaready #werewolves #victorianlit
First completed book of 2025. I read this for a book club then didn't even finish it in time. 🫠 Really enjoyed the domestic slice of life view into this community of mostly women in the small town of Cranford. Gender issues and social niceties take center stage.

An art-deco style clipart image of a male/female couple dancing a tango dominates the space. Underneath there is a portrait of the author Wilkie Collins, and at bottom right is the brand icon for Upstart English Tuition.
Today's birthday boy is Wilkie Collins: one of the midwives of detective fiction, and author of 'The Moonstone' and 'The Woman in White'.
A hair's breadth separates them for me: which do YOU prefer?

One in an occasional series of the less-mentioned pleasures of teaching - seeing one of your former students publish their work. If you teach #ThomasHardy on your #VictorianLit course, order a copy for your library. It’s an excellent piece of work. Well done @drrenajackson.bsky.social 👏👏👏
I guess I’ll start with my first academic publication. “Ally Sloper’s Half-Holiday: The Geography of Class in Late-Victorian Britain.”

After a quiet August, September has been louder, with family emergencies (we're doing okay), meetings, activities & preparations for upcoming presos for @acesediting.bsky.social & CIEP. It's exhausting for this introvert. Today's goal: finish this book. #FreelanceEditors #BookNerd #VictorianLit
Image is from page 263 of Gay Daly's 1989 book, "Pre-Raphaelites in Love." It's quoting a note sent by Edward Burne-Jones to a friend: "I'm not E. C. B. Jones now -- I've dropped my personality -- I'm a correspondent with RUSKIN, and my future title is 'the man who wrote to Ruskin and got an answer by return.'"
The Victorian equivalent of being re-tweeted/-skeeted by a Big Account. #VictorianLit #PreRaphaelites
