Don’t worry if you’ve not read it before—you can read ahead, keep pace week by week, or join in and be inspired to pick it up after.

Grab your copy from the Museum’s shop and a ticket (link in bio). We can’t wait to read with you!

The Brontë Parsonage Museum’s very first read-along begins in October. We’re reading Charlotte’s second novel, Shirley.

We’ll dive into the novel’s three volumes over the first three weeks of the month. In the final week, there is a live discussion to explore your thoughts questions & responses.

The #Brontës: Sisters of Disruption - produced & directed by Dhivya Chetty (for Wise Owl Films/Sky Arts) & presented by Anita Rani - airs tonight, 9pm. Honoured to be among the all-female contributors telling this proto-feminist #history.

Catch it on Sky Arts through Sky, Now TV or Freeview.

My review of Jo Waugh’s fantastic monograph - Charlotte #Brontë and Contagion - is out. It’s a brilliant health/medical humanities book for #Victorianists. Free access to my review via this link: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Unsurprisingly, #meta has stolen some of my academic books, edited books, journal articles & reviews without my permission to train #AI. Pure theft. Academic publishing houses need to stand with non-academic publishers in defending our #copyright 😡

Brief work trip to #Galway - my terrible photography skills don’t do justice to how beautiful some the city and campus is.

Listening ‘Imagining Queer Ecologies’ (intermittently) today and thoroughly enjoying it so far. A paper on gay frogs was BRILLIANT! 💚🐸👏🏻
