On this day in 1813, Jane Austen's 📖'Pride and Prejudice' was published.

Austen didn’t put her name on her novels, and would only say they were “By a Lady.” The title page of Pride and Prejudice said, “by the author of Sense and Sensibility.” It wasn’t until after her death that her brother revealed her name to the public.

Although our deadline for the upcoming Ali Smith symposium was yesterday we have had a couple of requests for late submission this Friday. So if anyone else is out there with a paper on any aspect of her writing do send it along by then. We have work on the Seasonal Quartet over represented currently so do think about some other fiction and non fiction as we will really welcome it!

Wonderful (fictional!) novel about the life of Thomas Mann. Definitely recommend it!

This is superb. discusses 3 writing schemas to be identified when reading the Bible:
- a more recognisable structure
- serving a quasi-judicial function; God’s laws, ordinances. Listed.
- Repetive, driving home a message, monotonous, overstatement.
All three ‘schemas’ appear in .
But this is already,early in Barton’s a very handy tool.
Superb.

Not planning to do a lot of promotion - self or otherwise - on here, but my mother's latest collection (Pam Mordecai, A FIERCE GREEN PLACE) just received a very favourable mention in the California Review of Books and I'm very proud:
