What would happen if I scheduled my life this way?

Bit of a shout out for three @bloomsburylit.bsky.social books publishing this month...first up, 'Wordsworth and English Literary Pilgrimage in the Nineteenth Century', in our 'New Directions in Religion and Literature' series: www.bloomsbury.com/wordsworth-a...

The true inspiration for the Seraphites. #TheLastofUs

A fine S. T. Coleridge letter up for auction at £10,000. A bit depressed. Longing for greatness. Pantisocracy. Infatuated with Mary Evans. Hits all the right notes, really. 😉

Love this idea! Minecraft + Wordsworth. Can't wait to learn more about this and other worlds in LitCraft from Lancaster University.

This looks like: 1) a genuinely nice role for someone 2) Sheffield has resurrected Shelley and is using him as a Research Associate - taking Gothic Studies to the next level!

Glad to see Alister McGrath's review of my book, "The Last Romantic: C. S. Lewis, English Literature, and Modern Theology"!

Me and my book projects

Finally had a chance to listen to @kerriandrewsuk.bsky.social wonderful book 'Wanderers: A History of Women Walking' -- and I was walking the prairie near my home for most of it. Highly recommended!

Here's one of several recent podcasts & radio interviews I've done on my latest book, The Last Romantic: C. S. Lewis, English Literature, and Modern Theology. Take a listen! www.thinkingchristianpodcast.com/jeffrey-barb...

Pleased to see this recent review of my latest book, The Last Romantic on C. S. Lewis.

Friends, I'm excited to share that my new book on C. S. Lewis is now available on Amazon and other outlets. It's already topping a number of the Amazon category lists. Unexpected but exciting news! I hope it helps readers to see Lewis in a new light! www.amazon.com/Last-Romanti...

Check out the fun interview I did with Beth Felker Jones about my new book on C. S. Lewis!

Start 2025 right by listening tomorrow at 10am to Woman’s Hour for a special episode dedicated to walking. You’ll hear me on the show alongside a number of other women talking about why walking matters. Hope you enjoy. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Thanks, Beth! Love to see the book (in pre-release) getting in the hands of readers already!

This is worth reading, friends of literature, readers, teachers, all. You don’t have to agree to cherish the spirit of it. “Does Teaching Literature and Writing Have a Future?” by Phil Christman

Check out @karenswallowprior.bsky.social 's recent Substack post on John Milton and free speech, with a nod to my new book at the end! Thanks, Karen!

This place is rocking! #mubb

Can you see me back there? I look like I'm waving.

The release of my new book on C. S. Lewis, "The Last Romantic," is still a little over a month away, so I guess I now have something to aim for! 😉

Just watched the 'Albatross' film with my students as a complement to our study of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner. This is amazing.

Let’s go, Marquette!! #mubb

When a reader of your new book on C S Lewis thinks about S T Coleridge in a new light. #win

First copies of The Last Romantic: C. S. Lewis, English Literature, and Modern Theology! Available now (before the official launch in January) through the @ivpacademic.bsky.social website!

Readers of C. S. Lewis will be interested to know that my forthcoming book "The Last Romantic: C. S. Lewis, English Literature, and Modern Theology" is now available, but only in pre-release through the IVP website! Copies are beginning to ship, I'm told!!

Remembering C. S. Lewis today (d. 22 Nov 1963).

Nice college newspaper piece highlighting Elizabeth Fay's work on British Romanticism, Frankenstein, etc.

This place is looking pretty good!

Can hardly wait for this new work by Kerri Andrews to appear! Congratulations, @kerriandrewsuk.bsky.social!

My new book is out in the world! It advocates a new, regional way of thinking about Scottish literature and Romanticism. It’s been a labour of love that’s seen me through two babies and a global pandemic, can’t wait to hear what people take from it 🙏 link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Always nice to see a new review come out (even of an older book)! This one by Adam Walker on my Cambridge Companion to British Romanticism and Religion! readingreligion.org/9781108482844/

I've recently learned of a new recording of Coleridge’s “Kubla Khan” with orchestral score by Richard Hill, featuring narration by Sir Ben Kingsley. Worth a listen!
