Ever wondered about the history of Valentine's Day? Watch this interesting interview with University of Lincoln Senior Lecturer Dr @Alice_Crossley on Sunday Morning Live that aired last week. 💕 Watch on BBC iPlayer from 42.21 - 45.50 👉 lncn.ac/Valentines

Looking forward to giving a short talk today, 'Victorian Valentines: Naughty or Nice?' introducing @KateClanchy1's valentines poetry workshop this afternoon @ 5.30pm, Mansfield College @MansfieldOxford @UniofOxford, using the @bodleianlibs John Johnson & Harding collections!

In a just world “TwainGPT” would rewrite your prose in randomly selected variants of 19th-century regional dialect, add drunken digressions, and turn every genre you ask for— business letter, college essay—into a confusing joke about a frog.

@k8_lister Congrats Kate - woop!

@DrHorrocks @bodleianlibs @MansfieldOxford Thanks Clare! It's very exciting. And honestly, I feel so fancy, I've even got a reading room of my very own in the Weston Library! #ARoomOfHerOwn

@Alice_Crossley @bodleianlibs @MansfieldOxford Wow! What an opportunity 👏 congratulations 🎊

It's my first week as a Bodleian Libraries Fellow @bodleianlibs and a Visiting Fellow at Mansfield College @MansfieldOxford! Thank you to both for such a warm welcome, in spite of the chilly drizzle

@rebeccashipp_ @bodleianlibs @MansfieldOxford Thanks Becky - it was such a surprise to bump into you, I'm sorry I had to rush off! Hope you had a productive day!

@Alice_Crossley @bodleianlibs @MansfieldOxford How exciting - all the best with it Alice! It was lovely (if rather random!) to see you in situ on your first day

Academic @Alice_Crossley will be here to give us a Victorian guide to Valentines Day. We'll also hear how two women are keeping the Norfolk folk tale of Jack Valentine alive for the next generation. Don't miss it! Sunday / BBC One / 10:30

Tomorrow I'll be on Sunday Morning Live @bbcsml (BBC1, 10.30am) to discuss the history & traditions of St. Valentine's Day. There will be cards! Roman martyrs! Love spoons! And more... 💕💌💘 What will *you* be sending - or hoping to receive - on February 14th?!

Kicking off my semester of sabbatical research with a couple of days at the wonderful @UniRdgTypoColls University of Reading. Here be trade cards, rewards of merit, greetings & friendship cards, valentines, scrapbooks & more galore! #ephemera #print #19thcentury #materialculture

Interested in the Victorians, saving some money, crafting, or gifting meaningful homemade Christmas presents? I wrote a li'l piece for @ConversationUK: 'Seven Victorian paper craft projects that could cut your Christmas consumption' theconversation.com/seven-victoria…

why would you finish an article when you can start a new, more exciting one?

Finally a helpful acknowledgement of the damage that's being done across the sector, and of its consequences theguardian.com/education/2024…
