Lucy Brookes

It's available to pre-order, so it's real: my first book, Convention and the Individual in Medieval English Romance, will be out later this year! With thanks to @CanaryCaroline and @boydellbrewer for help at every stage — and for the beautiful cover! boydellandbrewer.com/9781843846895/…

@hannah_piercy Thank you Hannah! 💜

@hannah_piercy @_SAMEMES @DevaniSingh Woohoooo!! Thrilled for you Hannah, it's richly deserved.

75 years on and Nevill Coghill's enchanting production of The Tempest still lives large in the College memory

@hannah_piercy @Christi77915158 still need this?

@AsheLaura He was so lovely - I'm so sorry ❤️

Just realised that the most recent Year's Work in English Studies is available online: academic.oup.com/ywes/advance-a… . So fortunate to be able to get to grips with recent research on Chaucer/Hoccleve/Lydgate!! And @LucyMBrookes and Peter Buchanan did a stellar job with Chaucer.

@shannonosaka @matthewchoi2018 it makes so little sense!! I remember I felt like there was going to be a quiz at some point, and I didn't feel prepared

@matthewchoi2018 pretty sure @LucyMBrookes spent a while laughing to herself in the car about the nickel

we as a nation do not talk enough about the insanity of our coins.

wrt that Times piece and reading list discourse, trigger/content warnings have a long and distinguished history. Here is one of Chaucer's, from the prologue to the Miller's Tale.

@JuliaWalworth @NCS_Chaucer @MertonCollege Thank you!

@LucyMBrookes @NCS_Chaucer @MertonCollege Looking forward to welcoming you!

This sunny day in Durham for @NCS_Chaucer feels like a lovely time to share that I will be joining @MertonCollege as Fitzjames Early Career Researcher in Medieval English Literature this autumn!

@mervatim @NCS_Chaucer @MertonCollege Thank you Merve!

@bri_dolce @NCS_Chaucer @MertonCollege Thank you! I'm looking forward to it too!!

@LucyMBrookes @NCS_Chaucer @MertonCollege Congrats! Really looking forward to meeting you soon!!!

@lauravarnam @NCS_Chaucer @MertonCollege 👋 I'm waving back! Thank you!

@LucyMBrookes @NCS_Chaucer @MertonCollege Congrats! (👋 waves from Univ!)

I can't wait to get going, and to make the most of some stability for a while. If you're a grad student in Oxford, and fancy a chat about PhDing or ECR life, please drop me a line; the best way through it all is to support one another, I think ☕💫

Kind colleagues and mentors and friends, and a good deal of luck are behind this: I'm aware the job market has been kinder to me than most, but it's a big old mess and this year of adjuncting brusied me a little

Twitter friends, who should I be reading on academic process? That is, on thinking, reading, writing—especially on sustaining intellectual curiosity. I'm thinking about when thinking is hard work... 🤔
