I am enjoying #DianeSetterfield’s novel #BellmanandBlack that sees the establishment of a grand #19thc #mourning emporium. Retailers such as Jays & Peter Robinson did indeed open their doors to provide every conceivable service to the bereaved. This ensemble c1907 @museumatFIT@twitter.com

Sunshine in a dress and from the front this c1879 ballgown is contained & buttoned through. As the wearer turns, however, she reveals a waterfall of yellow silk so that the full effect only appears as she retreats @IndianaMuseum #bustledress #19thc #dresshistory

This is tomorrow! I'm looking forward to the "New Approaches to the Brontës: Reconsidering the Brontës, in a Gothic lens" online event (Jan. 23) from The Gothic Women Project!

For my first reads of 2023, I'm going with two academic and closely-related books. Both are excellent thus far: Industrial Gothic: Workers, Exploitation and Urbanization in Transatlantic Nineteenth-Century Literature by Bridget M. Marshall (2021) and The Murder of Mary Bean and Other Stories by Elizabeth A. DeWolfe (2007).
