Now reading. Fascinating to learn of the expert literary criticism readers of Good Housekeeping enjoyed in the 20s, from writers Virginia Woolf, Rose Macaulay, as well as novelist Clemence Dane. And how seriously women's magazines took their role in educating their newly enfranchised readers.

Absolutely honoured to be invited to present my current research on Nancy Pearn at the next #DHLawrenceHappyHour event!

Pearn was more than Lawrence's 'golden [...] magazine girl' - she was a leading literary agent.
Our next #DHLawrenceHappyHour event takes place Tuesday, 27 May 2025 at 11:00am EDT (New York), 4:00pm BST (London). We will feature @buxiduan.bsky.social who will present his talk: “‘[Acting] throughout to the best possible advantage of the author’: Nancy Pearn, Literary Agent.”
