played by Jacob 'Heathcliff' Elordi....

Well I never! Hard 'g' makes much more sense for the residence of general Tilney!

So do I, but I didn't know there was uncertainty! What would be the alternative pronunciation?

Someone in my English class at school called it Northranger Abbey (loudly and repeatedly). She was trying to impress my (favourite) English teacher with having read outside the set text list, so I enjoyed that, in a bitchy Austenian way...

Hogg is its own kind of fun

ableist as well as sexist...😒

😂

I loved this- thanks for sharing.

Me, I'm so bored having to teach these novels to students who used to say 'Rochester's so dark and hot' and have now 'advanced' to 'He gaslighted her'. Everyone's still reading like Jane's their best friend- and that's either the novel's power, or a problem that persists whatever hindsight we claim.

I've loved this poem for a long time, and I love finding it in my feed

Flaubert, Trois Contes
Werfel, The Forty Days of Musa Dagh
Turner, Seven Little Australians

OMG! Pufnstuff!

Yes, and no. So moving. They play the same reels in the Maresfield Gardens Freud museum in London.

Or the Emperor's Tomb is a good follow up to Radetzky...

Job!

My favourite novel!

Also, the Zentralfriedhof is worth a visit, while humming the theme from the Third Man. And the Freud museum, obvs. And the Strudlhofstiege!

I would say take a tram to Grinzing and a bus up the Kahlenberg, then walk back down through the wienerwald and vineyards and with luck there will be an impromptu Heuriger and you can have a lovely glass of Grüner Veltliner among the vines. At night, have Buchteln and hot chocolate at Hawelka.
