@DMcGachey I loved this!

[SueG. @GothLover]

@Nick_Holland_ Hmm….nice image, Nick, but my personal belief is that while Charlotte was supporting England, Emily and Anne would have cheered on Gondal, the women’s team that took on the blokes and beat them. 😀

@MarkFarrellyUK Love Smallhythe! Glad to hear you had a full house!

[SueG. @GothLover]

@hairygit @ScottMcCreaWest Agree re. Robert Stephens!

[SueG. @GothLover]

@hairygit Will take a look!

[SueG. @GothLover]

@hairygit @the_book_land Yes, I’ve read it, it’s rather good!

[SueG. @GothLover]

@hairygit @the_book_land Agree! A transition from the picaresque to the thematic, with its unifying symbolism. But then Edwin Drood might have broken the mould, if only it had been completed!

[SueG. @GothLover]

@hairygit @the_book_land Agree! Love the comedy and inventiveness of the early novels, such as Martin Chuzzlewit, but the novels of his mature period are sublime.

@Berni_Stevens1 Such sad news.

[SueG. @GothLover]

@hairygit @ROH_London Sad news.

[SueG. @GothLover]

@DebsGreenJones2 Love it!

[SueG. @GothLover]

@hairygit @SoulCultivated I've only read The Vicar of Wakefield and The Mysteries of Udolpho. Congratulations on reading 'Clarissa'!

[SueG. @GothLover]

@hairygit @ncolloff Agree! Haven’t seen the whole list yet, but I can predict that some of my top favourites won’t be there!

@ThomasWillett9 And in Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, the protagonist changes sex, and in the film of the book, Quentin Crisp played Elizabeth I.

[SueG. @GothLover]

@hairygit Much as I love The Turn of the Screw, and enjoyed What Maisie Knew and The Aspern Papers, I can't venture into the later works!

[SueG. @GothLover]

@hairygit @DrAlwynTurner I saw her on stage as the poet Stevie Smith in the late seventies, superb! Must have been brilliant in Mother Courage (saw Judi Dench in that role.)

[SueG. @GothLover]

@hairygit @amwilson_opera Or even, on a lighter note, The Mikado!

[SueG. @GothLover]

@hairygit @amwilson_opera Unbelievable! There’d hardly be a single opera left to perform on these grounds!
