Had a blast presenting my paper alongside the very excellent @janetteleaf.bsky.social and @bgavurin.bsky.social @bavs-uk.bsky.social yesterday! Fascinating ideas, a real privilege to hear about their research. Thank you!

Ah, it will be good to see you! Boat is comfortable but neighbours (geese, ducks, swans) are sometimes a bit noisy!

Excited to be in Oxford for BAVS 2025. Even MORE excited to be living my Rosie and Jim best life by staying on a canal boat.

AND LOADS MORE! Email [email protected] to register your interest in becoming a reviewer and arrange for your chosen book to be sent to you. Please do let us know if YOU have a book that you would like us to feature. @bavs-uk.bsky.social

Amy Waterson @ireadoldbooks.bsky.social · Apr 24

Maybe poetry's your thing? Sarah Parker's 'Form and Modernity in Women's Poetry' which shows that traditional forms played a vital role in shaping mature women poets’ responses to modernity, illuminating debates about form, tradition, and gender in poetry.

Amy Waterson @ireadoldbooks.bsky.social · Apr 24

THAT'S NOT ALL! Kate Holterhoff's 'Speculation and Darwinian Method in British Romance Fiction' is also available! This book places the interplay between British science and romance fiction into critical perspective and highlights his enduring impact on Western culture.
