It was super fun to be interviewed by @ksaacomm.bsky.social for ‘What Are You Reading?’ - I got to talk about being on the panel for the @bars.bsky.social First Book Prize as well as shout outs to @zugenia.bsky.social & @nathankhensley.bsky.social PLUS my undying love for Lee Child’s Reacher books

Our brilliant PhD students have organised a conference - Placing the Nineteenth Century - and you’re all invited! Friday 26th June CFP deadline: Friday 1st May We’re all excited for our keynote speaker, @drclaireocall.bsky.social 🤩 Please share - and send us an abstract!

Placing the Nineteenth Century: A PGR/ECR conference Friday 26th June 2026 Image of Blackpool Edge Hill Nineteen research centre is excited to invite you to 'Placing the Nineteenth Century', a PGR/ECR conference focused on the North (West) of England in nineteenth-century literature and history. London and the South have often been the heart of discussion about the nineteenth century. However, development in industry during the period brought popularity to cities such as Liverpool and Manchester, which led to a boom of industrial growth in the north of England. In the nineteenth century, the north of England developed like never before, both within cities and in more rural areas.

Quite Interesting: Godwin as a Writer of Fables

Writing under the pseudonym of Edward Baldwin in the preface to the Fables, Ancient and Modern (1805) the first book for children he wrote for his own bookselling business, William Godwin argued th…

As I say in my intro, I aimed to have Judith as keynote from when I saw her paper at Sheffield’s Creativity and Tumult 1816 conference and her keynote was a fantastic, interactive finale linking pedagogy with posthumousness #Rom2Uni

@judithmpascoe.bsky.social rounds off the special issue with a consideration of Godwin’s immersion in Wollstonecraft’s work after her death, musing on his work of mourning as a teaching and learning experience - and how mourning informs teaching today
