Never use this platform. But my friend Sara wrote an article that this state-school, council-estate, reader-of-full-novels agrees with.

Slightly shy about posting this. But I took on Sir Jonathan Bate in the Scotsman this week. I love some of his critical writing, but he’s wrong when he says that state school students have lost the ability to read long books.

They just need adaptable, realistic curricula.

@GreenWill92 @callanjd @felicityebrown Great! As I say, do dm or email if you’d like me to send over a copy of the chart/list.

[Kim Gilchrist @KimGilchrist]

@callanjd @GreenWill92 ‘There are lots of…’

And that’s why I never post things here…

[Kim Gilchrist @KimGilchrist]

@callanjd @GreenWill92 Still checking into Xitter occasionally!

There of Jacobean plays - lost and extant - from those histories. There’s a list in my book (DM if you’d like the list), but @felicityebrown is the expert on the Arthurian side of things.

@JoshMcloughlin @The_Fence_Mag @JonnElledge @4threvolt @profrhodrilewis @OldFortunatus @IAmDylanLewis @starcrossed2018 @amy_lidster I’ve now done an in-depth exegesis of Tarica’s swearing and these emails could only have been written by an English aristocrat.

[Josh Mcloughlin @JoshMcloughlin]

My piece on Alan Tarica is now on @The_Fence_Mag website - thanks to @JonnElledge @4threvolt @profrhodrilewis @OldFortunatus @IAmDylanLewis @starcrossed2018 @KimGilchrist @starcrossed2018 @amy_lidster for sharing Tarica tales & thoughts on the Shakespeare authorship 'question'

Thanks to the Rose for inviting me to speak yesterday! I enjoyed it enormously.

[The Rose Playhouse @RosePlayhouse]

Huge thanks to @KimGilchrist for a fascinating webinar yesterday, beautifully linking characters from medieval and pre-medieval Romance genre with their appearances in Early Modern Drama, discussing the Catholic/Protestant perceptions..& so much more!

[Kim Gilchrist @KimGilchrist]

@ChasquiPenguin Thank you for attending, and I’m really glad you found it interesting! The lost 1570s romance plays are so intriguing and mysterious.

@ucu Please don't do this again

Poorly framed, double-barrelled single question, merging both disputes, when post-92s are not affected by USS
In another narrow 48-hr *strike* period when those who have work email as contact address, aren't accessing work emails 🤦🏽‍♀️

@annamercer_ @jesslcotton @maryanneandmimi It was a fab night!!! And you were missed, Usha. X

[Kim Gilchrist @KimGilchrist]

Needed to invent a new word to describe my response to the endless, terrifying, comic clownageddon: ‘hypervenilaughing’

@Freeburian @BloomsburyClass @BeyondShakes @Ardenpublisher Thank you, Darren!

[Kim Gilchrist @KimGilchrist]

Many thanks to Arden Shakespeare for releasing my book, Staging Britain’s Past, in paperback!

[The Arden Shakespeare @Ardenpublisher]

Paperback release of this unique study by @KimGilchrist coming next week 🎉

[Kim Gilchrist @KimGilchrist]

@TraceLarkhall @Sue_Jonze @jmy1599 @Brodie_Waddell @emi_rowe Just wonderful to see you, too!!! Made my week. It’s always so inspiring to hear you speak.

[Kim Gilchrist @KimGilchrist]

Thank you! After reading Whitman, Anne moved her family to Philadeliphia. They became friends (but not perhaps in the way she hoped). There's a book about her by Marion Alcaro, and an article I just found (and haven't yet read!) about the friendship: https://t.co/o4uSR68diH

[Kim Gilchrist @KimGilchrist]

@preraphsrule @LearNonsense Thanks, Sara! Yes, my great-times-3 grandfather. Great to see Anne getting credit. She was extraordinarily (my mum’s named after her). After Alexander died, she had many adventures: https://t.co/tDTqTl0UQt This portrait was made by their son, Herbert.
