Ten years ago I did my finals. Thinking hard of the @engfac finalists sitting theirs in the weirdest of contexts. With special thoughts to the @BalliolOxford and @BrasenoseNews cohorts: honoured to have taught you.

These details make the lockdown and the preparation for the finals easier. Thank you @BalliolOxford! 😍

[Balliol English @BalliolEnglish]

To our fantastic Balliol English finalists — exams today and this week — you don’t need luck, so best wishes!

On April 27th, John Milton earned £5 when he signed a publishing contract for his epic poem 'Paradise Lost'. He got an additional £5 once 1,300 copies of the poem were sold. So 'Paradise Lost' earned him a tenner. #robbed #OTD #milton https://t.co/8qAbzpsXF8

Great books for readers of all ages (ambitious year 9 and 10 pupils, + up). Our recommendations. Books that take us elsewhere! https://t.co/rSd4ZM5GtH

Work continues apace. Here are our favourite lines from Paradise Lost layered over writing surfaces to hand: TLS letters page, map of Tasmania, Matt Hancock photo, etc. Allegorical significance uncertain.
