anyone feeling bereft during the Bridgerton off-season, fear not; Dr Lizzie Rogers's review of Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story for 18th Century Studies Criticks is a perfect companion piece to the series, and will make you want to watch it all over again 👑

Throughout my life so far I have acquired no fewer than FOUR editions of Gulliver's Travels... but can any cover ever truly top the delightful image on 2001 Wordsworth Classics edition?

'Abigail Williams is, throughout the series, descriptive rather than prescriptive. I Feel Therefore I Am aims to elucidate the unacknowledged assumptions that shape fractious political debates.'

My favourite response to Gulliver's Travels so far this week:

'I was just sat there waiting for the shitting to start. Shitting is Swift's calling card.'

When I mentioned to my friend last night that today I'd be giving TWO lectures featuring Jonathan Swift, she gave me permission to open my birthday present a couple of days early, and now I see why 🤣 👌

'Animal, what reasonable do you want? Is it not enough that this head has given answers that correspond to what is asked of it?'

DQ and Sanch Panza bickering over the impressiveness of the enchanted head reminds me of ChatGPT discourse. Folks are either haters or evangelists.

I'm so pleased to this lecture gets a second life on the Words Matter podcast because it really was 'peak me' -- I tried to pour everything into this. Protest, satire, the culture wars, so much 18th century & all of my thoughts on the value of actually doing the reading... Enjoy!

Got my big coat out for the first time this winter.

Put my hands in the pockets and found:

1 x disposable face mask
1 x empty bottle of hand sanitizer
1 x crumpled ucu armband

Winter is so triggering these days.
