thrilled that my essay made it onto @GrantaMag’s most-read list for 2025 🎾 granta.com/top-reads-2025…

@BorisDralyuk @LRB thank you very much, Boris!

Greatly enjoyed this discerning and engaging piece on Frost (and what sounds like a far-fetched/-flung critical reading) by @clarebucknell, one of the best in the business. Thank you, @LRB: lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/…

for @nybooks I wrote about some of the earliest female literary critics nybooks.com/articles/2025/…

+ a wonderful piece on The Winter's Tale lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v26/…

With Thomas Jones, I’ll be hosting a new Close Readings podcast for the @LRB this year, Novel Approaches. Each month, joined by a brilliant roster of guests, we’ll sink our teeth into a 19th-century novel. We hope you’ll join us! Here’s an intro episode: lrb.co.uk/podcasts-and-v…
