I’ve written a piece for the NTS looking at forgeries in the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum made by the prolific Edinburgh forger ‘Antique Smith’. Smith flooded the late-19thC collectibles market with fakes of major writers, incl. Burns, Byron, Dickens and Scott. 👇

Percy Shelley should be living at this hour--and James Chandler, publishing this version of Shelley's "England in 1819" in Counter Punch, on April 21st, agrees. #Romanticism, #19thc
A version of Shelley's "England in 1819": "An old, bad, vain despised, and lying prez/ Cronies, sycophants, corrupt, and now in charge; / A tech czar, with a job chain-saw, at large; / A loony with a brain worm who now says:/ All the things that saved us will be banned--/ Flouride in our water, every good vaccine;/ Judges bought and sold, and courts unseen,/ To see that justice triumphs in the land/ In charge of schools, a monstrous wrestler's wife,/ Who's called AI "A 1"--a sauce for steak-/ And been herself 'instructed' how to break / The DOE, and higher ed, a vengeful strife--/Are graves from which some glorious phantom may/ Burst to illumine our tempestuous day."
