I beg of you, please let me get this extremely wordy paper for @navsa2025.bsky.social under 20 minutes. I swear it’s necessary for me to say “second phase Pre-Raphaelitism” this many times…

This was SUCH a great episode.
The Coleridge quote about “seeing Kean is like READING Shakespeare by flashes of lightning” is so interesting. His son Charles would often be described as evoking Pre-Raphaelite art on the stage. So fun to think about theatre as embodiment of other art/literary forms
