Today’s the day! It’s all coming together very nicely, but there’s still time to submit an abstract to us - do take a look at our CFP! (we thought about dialling down the exclamation marks in this post but it’s so very Corelli!).

Amazing time today at @UniofHertshe Festival of Ideas! Re-connected with @UHLiterature staff who nurtured me through my Masters (@hughes_rowland), & was inspired by female comedy icon @HelenLederer - especially as I was once an anonymous reviewer for her amazing UH @CWIPprize!

In #NoMowMay are your wildflowers thriving like Prince Hal?

And so the prince obscured his contemplation
Under the veil of wildness; which, no doubt,
Grew like the summer grass, fastest by night,
Henry V (1. 1)

Conference friends! In case you missed this over the weekend, Jo’s initial discoveries of Marie Corelli as ‘Rosalind’ have been published, open access. They formed part of the paper jointly presented with @DrSarahParker in our #Corelli100 panel on readerships and form. Enjoy! 😊

@Coppertapestry We’re now listening to the dramatic reading of ‘The Sorrows of Satan’ - bravo to the Stratford Society for a brilliant commemorative programme. It’s been a wonderful weekend! #Corelli100

[Commemorating Corelli @Corelli100]

We’re enjoying Nick Birch, of the Stratford Society, sharing his expertise on Corelli and the town, in the lovely Town Hall venue!

[Commemorating Corelli @Corelli100]

We’ve had an emotional time hearing the first performance of Corelli’s long-unheard compositions (sourced by @Coppertapestry ) and visited the Harvard House Corelli exhibit. And… we met MARIE!!!

[Niyati Sharma @NiyatiSharma17]

Loving these replies by @MarieCorelli - so characteristic of Corelli's sparkling wit. On a serious note, incredible centenary conference organized yesterday @Corelli100. I learnt SO very much, all in a day!

[Commemorating Corelli @Corelli100]

@NiyatiSharma17 @MarieCorelli We had an amazing day too, Niyati - and thanks so much for your wonderful paper!

[Commemorating Corelli @Corelli100]

@ProfNeilH It was wonderful day, thank you, and everything we’d hoped for in terms of the scholarship! Looking forward to meeting Fakorelli at the music recital later! Have a great rest of the weekend.

[Commemorating Corelli @Corelli100]

@rosarioariasUMA Thank you, Rosario. We enjoyed hearing from you so much! We hope that the conference will have piqued interest in the texts of the day - both ‘The Young Diana’ and ‘The Lady with the Carnations’. How fantastic it was that you and @ruinousowls championed the shorter fiction!

[Commemorating Corelli @Corelli100]

MacLeod is showing us copies of the publication of the story and discussing its different context within the pages of Nash’s and Hearst’s magazines. She is enthralling us with explanations of illustrations and how the story is interpreted differently between US and UK issues.

[Commemorating Corelli @Corelli100]

MacLeod explains how Corelli (after previously denouncing the mode) serialised her later novel ‘The Young Diana’ in US owned magazines.
