On this day in 1813, Jane Austen's đ'Pride and Prejudice' was published.
Austen didnât put her name on her novels, and would only say they were âBy a Lady.â The title page of Pride and Prejudice said, âby the author of Sense and Sensibility.â It wasnât until after her death that her brother revealed her name to the public.

Although our #cfp 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! #litstudies #LiteratureInEnglish #Litodon #AliSmith #criticalTheory

This is superb. #JohnBarton discusses 3 writing schemas to be identified when reading the Bible:
#Saga - a more recognisable #narrative structure
#Deuteronomous - serving a quasi-judicial function; Godâs laws, ordinances. Listed.
#Priestly - Repetive, driving home a message, monotonous, overstatement.
All three âschemasâ appear in #Homer.
But this is already,early in Bartonâs #HistoryOfTheBible a very handy tool.
Superb.

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