📻 Dr @eeforbes joins @BBCRadio4 #InOurTime to discuss Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, its realism, dark undertones and questions of gender identity with @Tom_F_Wright & Bridget Bennett Listen to the full programme 👉 bbc.in/3YmD8Ot @UoBrisEnglish @BrisBlackHums

@BoMandeville @Tom_F_Wright Thank you! Yes, I agree - there is so much more to explore - just the tip of the iceberg

@eeforbes @Tom_F_Wright this was such a great episode listened twice… will listen again and guess so much more to explore on the gothic writing side too… but time limitations etc loved the “who wants to be Beth” note too “she’s insufferable” just made me laugh

What a delight to be back on #InOurTime. Hear @Tom_F_Wright discussing Louisa May Alcott’s Transcendentalist childhood, me on her Gothic writing, and the inimitable Bridget Bennett asking Melvyn Bragg which of the Little women he is? bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

On this day in 1793, awaiting a Halloween execution, white convicted murderer Samuel Frost told his life story. Find out how his case compares to that of Abraham Johnstone, an innocent Black man executed in 1797 in my book: press.jhu.edu/books/title/12….

@hl_murray @NoreenMasud @Tom_F_Wright Producers told us this may be the only time in the show’s 1000+ episode run that they’ve had the same 3 guests back at the same time 🤩

@MimiThebo Ah what a beautiful dog. Those eyes. My condolences Mimi.

Thank you for your kind words yesterday about Dog leaving this world. He’s out there in the universe, available for joy whenever you need him… especially if it has anything to do with ball, water or food.

7 years in and I am still mystified as to why UK university students are, for all intents and purposes, not allowed to fail a class.

@sacha_coward Springsteen

I adore artists like Bjork, Tori Amos and Kate Bush partly because it feels like they're tearing apart the societal straight jacket of being a woman; turning femininity into a razor blade. But are there any male singers who do the same thing for masculinity?

Thank you so much @cecileroudeau1 and @TConstantinesco for the invite! What a delight it was to speak about white hats, chance encounters, lies and letters with Bridget and your wonderful group.

The @C19Americanists Americanists Abroad cluster cordially invites you to our next virtual book launch event on Friday, 21 June 12-1 pm BST. We'll be celebrating Dr @eeforbes (Bristol) & Dr @mroyUPN (Paris-Nanterre) & hearing a bit about how their fabulous new books came to be.

@JMCoghlan @C19Americanists @mroyUPN Thanks and looking forward!!

My book is available now! With chapters reevaluating criminality, aesthetics, and race in relation to Nat Turner, Edgar Allan Poe, David Walker and others.

Here's a thought: the system university tutors have to navigate to access students' disability support plans should not be so complicated that it requires 15 pp instructions

@NoreenMasud @GuardianTravel how cool!

turned out I only had one appropriate picture of me in a flat landscape where I was actually looking at the camera and not eg poking a standing stone, and in it I’m scowling next to a gate. Anyway I’m in @GuardianTravel today, happier than I look theguardian.com/travel/2024/ja…

Happy 215th Birthday to Edgar Allan Poe!

Here is my book in the Spring 2024 Catalog. Thanks @JHUPress - it looks great! issuu.com/johnshopkinsun…
