Hey folks,

I'm making my book group read 'Venoni' by Matthew Lewis and I wondered if any of my Gothic and Romanticism friends would be interested in doing a live reading/dramatic performance. The more drama, the better!

Give me a shout if you could be into it!

Great to speak about using print and digital archives in teaching, on the Victorian Pedagogies panel with @timgao.bsky.social and @harbottlestores.bsky.social at @bavs-uk.bsky.social PGR/ECR Professionalisation Afternoon

Also had sneaky peek at the Tales of Weird collection at Oxford's Blackwells!

I watched this film for the first time in my grandparent's house, during a critical "banging on walls" scene my uncle knocked on the outside of the window behind me because he'd forgotten his keys and I nearly expired with fright.
