www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DSX678/t... We are looking for a special scholar to lead our remarkable team in 18th century literature @engfac.bsky.social

I LOVE that David Bowie was exploring an 18th century project ‘The Spectator’ #davidbowiecentre

So proud to see digital art work by @mansfieldoxford.bsky.social English graduate Anna Ridler at the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities - and in conversation with 17th century flights of imagination and categorisation no less

Bluesky nerds! Can you help me get in touch with someone who works on East Indian languages, specifically in the 18th century?

www.torch.ox.ac.uk/article/the-... This was a blast!

I am utterly fed up with Royal Mail parcel delivery service. Failed to deliver twice to my home leaving notes to tell me I was not in and now failed to redeliver to local post office. Sorting office open for 2 hrs mornings. No humans to speak to only AI assistants who send you back to useless app.

Many moons ago I had the pleasure of an early career fellowship at @chawtonhouse.bsky.social, and now you can too! If you're a PhD student or ECA working on women's writing in the long 18thC, act quickly. chawtonhouse.org/the-library/...

Listening with interest to Joe Seddon, @mansfieldoxford.bsky.social graduate, discuss with Amol Rajan social mobility and university degrees on Radio 4 ‘Radical’. Not persuaded by the claim about English lit degree deficit - held by Rajan too of course englishassociation.ac.uk/action-on-em...

With Anu, Annie (both Mansfield alumns), Ashton and Phil at Singapore cricket club tonight

Seminar starts tomorrow! And what a treat for a speaker!

Talking 7.30 pm tonight Thursday 22 January at Macclesfield Lit and Phil Society about Jane Austen’s Fashion Bible. The first lit and phils were founded when Austen was a teenager.

Jane Austen was born 16 December 1775, 250 years ago. She has been a constant love for me throughout my reading life.

If Instagram had existed, Jane Austen would have been following the fashion posts from La Belle Assemblée. 💃 Professor Ros Ballaster (@ballasterros.bsky.social) brings those Regency styles to life in her new book, Jane Austen’s Fashion Bible - out this September. 📒🎉 #janeausten #regency #fashion

Sad to see (part of) this lovely tree fallen in the University Parks
