Bit of a long shot but has anyone out there read anything good about trains and literature?

@jenny_kenyon Hi Jenny. I’ve got a spare copy of my book on post-war radio drama. If you want it let me have your address and I’ll pop it in the post. Best. Hugh

A productive day hunting and gathering in the library word mines - now all I need is a clone to help read them…

@HRG_BU @MeCCSA2023 Great news! A wonderful piece of original research. It will surely triumph!

HRG group's own Jan Lewis has had her PhD , 'Mediating the Past: BBC Radio Archaeology Broadcasting, 1922-1966', nominated for a @MeCCSA2023 outstanding achievement award! Well done Jan! meccsa.org.uk/meccsa-outstan…

When I wrote BUT WHAT CAN I DO? I wanted to profile a Parliamentarian who represents the best of politics, to debunk the idea that they are “all the same,” “all in it for themselves” and all the other cynical stuff that gets said about MPs. This was well before @HarrietHarman 1/3

@atommarie @liu_universitet Wow Marie! Fantastic news. At last! And so richly deserved!

@DrKathryn_McD Classic Mediterranean meze, charcoal-grilled skewers and hearty stews in an easygoing little venue by any chance?

First time back to the best Greek restaurant since 2019. We ate all the food and it was incredible

@13sarahmurphy I don’t know who Sarah is but when it comes to verbal put downs there is no one on the planet who can compete. The absolute doyen of linguistic fury. I love her!

The preening dullwitted cluelessness of Dorries taking to the airwaves to whine about not getting a peerage is peak Tory: a completely undeserving fool wasting everyone’s time moaning about how Tory corruption didn’t work in her favour this time. Cry us a fucking river.

@tasha_kitcher Good! Two of my very favourite cities there. Malaga; great climate, the old city, great museum and the bars while also very unpretentious. Copenhagen is really wonderful. Take a boat trip and visit the parks. Food is amazing if you can afford it!

I used to always dream of travelling and 16 year old me would be very impressed to know that 26 year old me has trips to Montreal, Malaga, and Copenhagen all coming up in the next three months

@Emma_Probett @PhDhurtBrain Oh! I didn’t realise other people thought like me! I read Gaskell’s ‘Ruth’ recently. What a magnificent novel!

@PhDhurtBrain Gaskell Anne Charlotte There's got to be someone who stands by 'minor Victorian' writer Elizabeth Gaskell 💔

@DRRD19thC @EdinburghUP Vicky Mills will be pleased. She teaches Victorian studies at Birkbeck, University of London and is a Mona Caird fan.

@jamie_medhurst Congratulations Jamie. I know how much work grant applications are. Fingers crossed!

@LegayRichard @DrKathryn_McD That’s wonderful Richard! Sorry it took so long.

@ClemencyWells Hi Clemency. Joe is my dissertation supervisor and suggested I contact you. I have a Pinter question! Could you email me? Hughchignell@yahoo.com But absolutely fine if you prefer not to.

@nhknowledge @DLHeidenblad @ostling_j Sounds wonderful but although I hate to be a pedant it is a Master’s degree. Capital M and an apostrophe.

Last week a master course in the history of knowledge started at the Department of History, Lund University. Due to the rapid development of the field, the teachers @DLHeidenblad and @ostling_j have revised the reading list substantially this year. newhistoryofknowledge.com/2023/05/05/mas…

@devlin_jp Flying out!!! 7.10 flight to Pula!

London skyline. So is everybody flying in or flying out for the Coronation?

@jenny_kenyon Thank you so much Jenny for your brilliant and encouraging review of our book! It’s so encouraging to read that you think it is a contribution to modernist scholarship. That wasn’t the intention but you are right that it has turned out that way.

An exciting day! My first academic review, of The Bloomsbury Handbook of Radio, out in The Modernist Review now 📻

In time for May Day, The Modernist Review #46 featuring @jenny_kenyon, @PeterLowepj33, @andrewolves_, @christy_heflin, & Emily Bell, is live. We hope it inspires new connections & enjoyment! Yours, @hm_voss, @elenavalli42, @JenniferAAshby, @SerenaWongHY modernistreviewcouk.wordpress.com/2023/05/01/the…

@DavidjHendy @EloiseHendy If I were you David I would definitely suspend my subscription to Stylist Magazine for a couple of months!

@EloiseHendy @StylistMagazine Should I be feeling ‘seen’?

I'm working on a piece on "eggshell parents" for @StylistMagazine and looking to speak to as psychologist / therapist, as well as women who identify with this upbringing to reflect on how it's impacted them. Can ofc be anon! DM / email eloisehendy@hotmail.co.uk #journorequest
