Rare sketches made of Dickens's plays in rehearsal are now on display at the Dickens Museum. I've been lucky enough to see these up close and really enjoyed studying these - a must see!

Sketch of act 2 of "The Frozen Deep" bu Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens in rehearsal. The scene shows four men inside their hut in the polar regions. The figure at the back of the stage exiting through a door is Bateson (played by Edward Hogarth) going into the cold, the two figures sat down are Crayford (on the right, played by Mark Lemon) and Darker (on the left, in the blue coat, played by Frederick Evans). The figure in front of the fire is John Want, played by Augustus Egg (the script says he is discovered in a hammock before going over to the fire, but this might be an early staging depicted in the picture).

Wuthering Heights (for some reason here written between quotation marks) is not "the greatest love story of all time". The book is not about love but about hate, misery and abuse, and that not only applies to Cathy and Heathcliff but to the rest of the characters www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fLC...

Se me ha ocurrido hacer un experimento y le he pedido a ChatGPT que me diga 20 novelas escritas por mujeres situadas en un espacio urbano.

Ha sido incapaz, repito, INCAPAZ, de encontrar 20 novelas, en toda la literatura universal, escritas por mujeres y situadas en una ciudad cualquiera.

En 1916 Emilia Pardo Bazán fue la primera catedrática en España (de Literatura contemporánea de las lenguas neolatinas, Universidad Central, hoy Complutense). Dejó el puesto en 1921 por el boicot de los estudiantes y de los profesores, todos hombres.

Not at all concerning to learn that Universities UK are partnering with a company to sell an AI product that offers automated feedback on student work. Who needs staff?
LinkedIn promoted post about Universities UK's partnership with a firm called Studiosity, who are offering universities a free trial of their "AI for learning (not corrections), for formative feedback at scale)". Text from the announcement which says the AI technology "means all students can benefit from personalised formative feedback in minutes, including guidance on how they can demonstrably improve their own work and critical thinking skills. Actionable insight is accessible to faculty and leaders, revealing the scale of engagement with support, cohorts requiring intervention, and measurable learning progress."

Italian philosopher Andrea Colamedici pretended he was the translator philosopher Jianwei Xun, when this was actually an AI. Now the doubt is what to do with the book 'Hypnocracy: Trump, Musk, and the Architecture of Reality', illegally marketed without warning that it's by an AI.

Unsurprisingly, #meta has stolen some of my academic books, edited books, journal articles & reviews without my permission to train #AI. Pure theft. Academic publishing houses need to stand with non-academic publishers in defending our #copyright 😡
