How would modern Londoners react to 80% of their city burning down in a firestorm today? How would they communicate in the chaos their confusion, suspicion and grief?

Now reading. Fascinating to learn of the expert literary criticism readers of Good Housekeeping enjoyed in the 20s, from writers Virginia Woolf, Rose Macaulay, as well as novelist Clemence Dane. And how seriously women's magazines took their role in educating their newly enfranchised readers.

pls RT, modernists - CFP now out for 'Weird Modernisms', the collaborative conference between @modernistudies.bsky.social and @moderniststudies.bsky.social ! July 2026, Loughborough University. www.moderniststudies.org/conference/M...

Such a great honour to have my name listed alongside those distinguished scholars in textual scholarship! Please drop me a message if you're interested in my scholarly edition of D. H. Lawrence's short story 'The Flying Fish' - happy to share and discuss all things archives and textual criticism!

Invited to be 'Reviewer 2' - but promise I'll be kind, constructive, and supportive!

Absolutely honoured to be invited to present my current research on Nancy Pearn at the next #DHLawrenceHappyHour event! Pearn was more than Lawrence's 'golden [...] magazine girl' - she was a leading literary agent.

A very big thank you to Susan Reid, editor of The Journal of D.H.Lawrence Studies (2013 - 2024), who steps down after 12 years and 3,046 edited pages. We wish her the very best with her own creative endeavours. Watch this space...

"My thesis supervisor Jürgen Habermas has told me recently he would not have succeeded in today's academia. He has never applied for a grant in his life and he writes long books" - Patrizia Nanz, President of the European University Institute, in a speech today

Very neat! Thanks for taking it on!

My Chinese translation of @colson.bsky.social's Harlem Shuffle (2021) is coming soon! As the first in the Harlem trilogy, it's a really fascinating read. Set in 1960s Harlem, Ray Carney's story captures themes that still resonate powerfully today - I often imagined myself as him while translating!

Ok, I've started a crime history starter pack, hmu to be added! go.bsky.app/BaHNGzw
