In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich."

A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

It does not! It has an original folio from 1623. Keats inscribed his own facsimile copy (printed in 1804), which is housed at the London Metropolitan Archive (that's where I saw it, in any case).

My immediate reaction to seeing these tiny volumes: 💞Oh, they are cute! …
Evidently so cute they broke Hazlitt’s theory of repeat reading when, in this form, Rousseau’s ‘Eloisa’, which he had long loved, suddenly revolted him 😅 (small, gilt edges, rosy perfume)—at the Palace Green Library, Durham

Yes, and over winter break too (e.g. Bleak House) because our classes are year-long. (But to be fair, our spring break is 5 weeks.)

Would have liked to be wrong this time! But thank you so much!

Staying in a flat attached to Rydal Mount. In the day, the house and garden is open to tourists; at night the garden is all ours! 🌸🌹

Which is far cheaper than a trip to the BL (Durham does not have this one). PS: Who am I. 📚🤓

Sunday morning news: I have figured out an edition of Rousseau 'Eloisa' that is plausibly the one that revolted Hazlitt when he encountered it years after first reading (and loving) the novel in a different edition. Very small, with gilt edges. Perfumed with rose leaves? TBC. Ordered it for £30...

The hottest ticket in Durham this September? Probably not this, but I'm still excited to be giving a talk on Keats's copy of Shakespeare at the Palace Green Library, inspired by the current exhibit of Durham's First Folio📖 @ksaacomm.bsky.social @bars.bsky.social: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/twilight-t...

Twilight Talks: John Keats Encounters the Shakespeare Folio

Keats meets Shakespeare: discover how the young poet inscribed his own verse into a facsimile of the 1623 folio between two great plays.
