This is a sneak preview of our poster image as we finalise details - it’s a coloured etching by Thomas Rowlandson after G M Woodward from 1801 called ‘The Quack Doctor’s Prayer’ with a kneeling doctor praying over a box with a duck drawn on it. In the background there’s a candelabra and pink hangings.

Diverted from my research on Emily Brontë into reading Anne Carson’s funny and terrifying poem ‘The Glass Essay’ about her (and lost love and freedom and loneliness and horror) - the bits about Charlotte made me laugh out loud 🖤 www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48636/...
Charlotte's preface to Wuthering Heights is a publicist's masterpiece.
Like someone carefully not looking at a
scorpion
crouched on the arm of the sofa Charlotte

talks firmly and calmly
about the other furniture of Emily's
workshop-about
the inexorable spirit ("stronger than a man,
simpler than a child"),

the cruel illness ("pain no words can
render"),
the autonomous end ("she sank rapidly, she
made haste to leave us") 
and about Emily's total subjection to a creative project she could neither
understand nor control,
and for which she deserves no more praisenor blame
than if she had opened her mouth

"to breathe lightning." The scorpion is inching down
the arm of the sofa while Charlotte continues to speak helpfully about lightning

and other weather we may expect to
experience
when we enter Emily's electrical
atmosphere.
It is "a horror of great darkness" that awaits us there but Emily is not responsible. Emily was in the grip.
"Having formed these beings she did not know what she had done,"
says Charlotte (of Heathcliff and Earnshaw and Catherine).

Well there are many ways of being held
prisoner.
The scorpion takes a light spring and lands on our left knee
as Charlotte concludes,"On herself she had no pity.”

LOL

So, the whole ms of the Brontë poems is 192 pages, 26,084 words.

Anne’s poetry makes up 44 of these pages, 5,563 words.

Emily: 45 pages, 5,960 words.

Charlotte… 103 pages! 14,563 words!!

This is your friendly reminder to VOTE in the @royalhistsoc.org Council elections. Not necessarily for me (though if you felt moved in that direction it would be appreciated), but for any candidates you feel represent you and your experiences of 'doing' History. #skystorians #academicsky 🗃️

Something for the weekend?

My essay on Keats’s ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’, thinking about sex, and who is speaking in a poem - in fine company in the very timely Ekphrasis edition of the wonderful Dilettante Army
John Keats Getting It On a Grecian Urn
Prompted by a rhetorical study guide question, “Is the urn’s slenderness and round opening attractive?”, Andrew McInnes has his own question about lyric voice and unfulfilled desire: “Does Keats want ...

Rather surprised to see a picture of myself on the TV listing! I’m not presenting it — just one of several talking heads.

Tune in to see our own @digivictorian.bsky.social on the railways 🚂
digivictorian.bsky.social
I’m on TV tonight! Check out the first episode of Britain’s Railway Empire at 8pm on Channel 4.

It’s a new, two part series about the history of the railways, starting with the Victorian Era. It’s not just a story about tech and engineering, but covers the social and cultural impact too.
