We are winding down a successful 2022 with videos of the talks at this year's festival. Here's Miriam Lohan on William Le Fanu and the soon-to be-reopened Limerick-Foynes railway line. 1/6 https://t.co/qBMc6SaDoI

Isn't this exciting? We will be talking about the building of this line at our Festival on Saturday! The engineer was William Le Fanu.

@theadorajean I'm honestly unsure! In the quotation here, it ends up being kind of a joke because people assume this character is some demonic figure when really he's just a mundane jerk. Maybe there's some connection between these blue flames and the devil/the demonic. Thoughts, other goths?

“As the candles burn blue and the air smells of brimstone at the approach of the Evil One", so too do the sounds of YouTube notifications announce the coming of our symposium!
Just under 3 hours away - join us, why don't you?

Great to see this symposium launched today, an excellent online and accessible resource for many. Thanks also to @UniWalesPress for their gracious permission to use some material from my monograph on Le Fanu. Link below to video content on #LeFanu #LeFanuVideoSymposium

@aoifemdempsey @UniWalesPress Thank you for your contribution - such an important reminder of the complicated material contexts that can affect our reception of Le Fanu's work!
