So grateful to the wonderful people at Shibden Hall for showing me around and sharing their knowledge of Anne and the house during my visit 😊

(I highly recommend visiting it during Halloween 🎃 )

Loved visiting Halifax during my research trip to see Shibden Hall and Anne Lister’s letters at West Yorkshire Archive Services as part of my project, The Heiress: Women, Property and Economics, 1780-1900, at Ghent University 😊

(And yes, I did get the fish soap 😁)

Day 2 of the #GlobalAusten250 Conference. The sea witch (aka hay fever) stole my voice, which means that @drbeard79.bsky.social delivered the drag show of a lifetime by reading my paper for me on my FWO-funded research. Had a great time listening to his own fabulous paper on Netflix’s Persuasion!

In Southampton and excited to see everyone at the #GlobalAusten250 Conference tomorrow!

You co-write one article with @drbeard79.bsky.social about Autumn de Wilde’s EMMA. with the word ‘shark’ in the title and this is what happens 😂

2 years ago I was in Brussels for my FWO interview 😊 Cut to right now and I’m halfway through my project at Ghent University, The Heiress: Women, Property and Economics, 1780-1900
(Yes, they were advertising the new Queen Charlotte Bridgerton show and no, sadly she doesn’t feature in my project 😄)

Now that the birthday of the person this was a gift for has passed, I can share the gorgeous commission that my incredibly talented friend @fierengraw.bsky.social made for me 🤩

My gorgeous birthday present, made by my incredibly talented friend @fierengraw.bsky.social 😍💛🦆

Thank you so much to the Jane Austen Society for what is (as far as I know) the first review of my book, Women and Property Ownership in Jane Austen 😊 It would mean the world to me if you could ask your library to order it:

When you write an article where you mention you don’t have one of these, so naturally your boyfriend… 😁

I'm so happy to be able to celebrate the birthday of the GOAT, #JaneAusten, by announcing that my new article, "Witches and Jedi Guardians: Jane Austen's Portraits Then and Now," is now out in the latest issue of @jasnaorg's journal, #Persuasions: jasna.org/publications...

This might be my greatest achievement of all time #BTS #BTSARMY

I can’t believe I FINALLY managed to order one of these in time!!! 🥳😁

Please share! 🙂
