today's #ModWrite is from the Harry Ransom Center, with quirky drawings and unique turns of phrase that bring me closer than ever to Patrick Hamilton - if only his handwriting didn't turn each letter into a homogeneous scrawl, life would be perfect (but then wouldn't that be boring).

This #ModWrite I am writing about the founder of Psychosynthesis, Roberto Assagioli (1888-1974), in his personal library in Florence

This year's remembrance lecture at Edinburgh Napier marks, as always, Craiglockhart's First World War links(the meeting place of Owen and Sassoon) and our late colleague Catherine Walker. This year it is also the @fwwsoc.bsky.social Dennis Showalter Memorial Lecture, given by @juliarsct.bsky.social.

today's #ModWrite is more packing than writing - one week before I arrive at the Harry Ransom Center for a deep dive into Patrick Hamilton's archive. Please send recommendations for Austin (bookshops, coffee, live music, nature, and for surviving what looks like 33 degree heat...)

And just like that I got to the point when there are 80 translations of Forster's A Passage to India into 36 languages, including Icelandic and Macedonian. The latest discovery: Þorleifsson, Hjalta. Ferð til Indlands. Reykjavík Ugla 2022. You probably know I should be WRITING... #modwrite #emforster

A very #ModWrite problem is not much liking The Waves yet liking everything written about The Waves

In today's #ModWrite, I am reflecting on Austen's 'Persuasion' (1817): 'A sick chamber may often furnish the worth of volumes'. This resonates with Woolf's 'On Being Ill' (1926), showing how illness can lead to profound insights. How do you see this theme playing out across literary genres & eras?

I am working on a bibliography of E.M. Forster's works in translation. If you know of any missing from this list, please, do let me know. I have just heard that the academia link posted yesterday does not work so let's try with Research Gate! www.researchgate.net/publication/... #modwrite #emforster

In today's #ModWrite, Virginia Woolf redefines the audibility of servants in Mrs Dalloway, revealing how class and hierarchy shape their voices and their silence. #WoolfandSound #VirginiaWoolf #LiteraryAnalysis #ServitudeinLiterature

This #ModWrite I am hiding from the 40 degree heat with nothing but a fan trying to sort out a section of a chapter on Mina Loy's metaphysics

Although not exactly a #ModWrite, today I'm taking online modules offered by the Education Training Foundation in preparation for my PGCE course in Further Ed 🤓

Today's #ModWrite consists of research on teaching #VirginiaWoolf in the secondary English classroom. If anyone has any good recommendations in terms of articles, books, etc, please let me know!

In 2026, the MSA Conference will look a bit different-- weird, even! That's because we're having a joint conference with BAMS @modernistudies.bsky.social in Loughborough, UK from July 1- 4, 2026. The CFP will be out soon! But in the meantime, please save the date.

This morning was given over to writing a section of my 'Digital Joyce' essay: mostly trying to say something sensible and interesting about now-defunct websites. This afternoon is mostly doing more reading for the MSA Prize for Best Edition, Anthology or Edited Collection. #ModWrite > #ModRead

today’s #ModWrite is a delve back into torturous telephones in Patrick Hamilton’s radio dramas - and making a list of dream discoveries for my visit to the Hamilton archive at the Harry Ransom Center next month (happy dance)

That's supposed to say, Friday, Oct. 10 at 6:45 pm and Saturday, Oct. 11 at 6 pm! Register by Aug. 31 for the reduced fees and check out the draft schedule here: www.moderniststudies.org/conference/M...

This #modwrite I’m reflecting on the way my doctoral research on Ford Madox Ford led me to my current work on money and trust and how conversations I had with Derek Attridge and Lawrence Rainey two decades ago continue to reverberate in my recent @moneyontheleft.bsky.social article.

#modwrite trying to get my dissertation edited (:

This #ModWrite I'm making a start on a grant proposal for my PhD on Woolf and crip theory. Feeling hopeful and pessimistic and terrified and excited all at the same time, so I'm keeping in mind that a bad first draft is better than nothing at all.

This #ModWrite I took some notes on Maria Lugones’ 1987 paper “Playfulness, ‘World’-Travelling, and Loving Perception” - thinking of Woolf, Beauvoir, Arendt, Ahmed. I needed and am very grateful for the humaneness of her crystal-clear prose ☀️
