Ich do not knowe ynogh wayes to saye: support public higher ed. Even thrugh hard
tymes, even thrugh low enrollementes. Do not destroye livelihoodes and gut
programs yn the name of an illusory efficiencye. Supportinge educacioun ys a
social goode for a free societye not a return on investment.

A little medieval mantra by Julian of Norwich for those furiously trying to get
things done before the end of the year …but all will be well, all will be well,

I am chapter 9 in this lovely collection! I examine the overwriting of Elizabeth
Siddall’s identity/agency by a medievalised persona constructed by Dante Gabriel
Rossetti. Rossetti sought to position himself as a successor to Dante by
creating a Beatrice for himself in his own wife and muse.

Medievalism & Reception (edited by @elliecrookes.bsky.social and me) is OUT
TODAY! Eleven brilliant chapters on how postmedieval periods summon up ideas,
characters, stories and spirits (sometimes literally 👻s...) from the medieval
past, and what they do with them, with a reception-theory twist. 🧵

1. I find myself spending perhaps maybe a little bit too much time trying to
figure out the lore of children’s tv shows. At the moment, I’m obsessed with
Peppa Pig. So, this is a stupid thread written in the hopes of cleansing my
brain of this obsession.

8. Ok, I think I’ve run out of steam. In sum, Peppa pig is a brat and her world

9. Oh my god! The koala! Ok, so there is a dead-eyed Koala at the zoo. So you
would think sentience doesn’t extend to marsupials, but then… Kylie Kangaroo
comes along. Essentially, I am just begging them to pick a lane. Any lane. For
my sanity

What is your best student ‘hot take’ for an English lit essay, aka, a clear and
funny ‘they did not read the book’? Mine is that Frankenstein is a heartwarming
‘enemies-to-friends-to-lovers’ tale. And let me tell you, they really went to
town with their analysis. It was fucking great.

Little tip for lit lecturers wanting to deter the use of GenAi: set an obscure
poem/extract studied in class for the take home exam and omit the poet’s name… I
played around with ChatGPT and it throws out the wildest guesses. Note: I wasn’t
seeking to catch them out, this was a post hoc revelation.
