@LdnMetArchives are at @LiteraryLondon Conference on Fashioning London! We are showing off our collections including Peal Feet Books and Foundling Billet samples.

[Peter Jones @PTAJones]

Relishing @LucieGlasheen taking us round the 'Casey Court' kids' comic-noisy-anarchic theatrescapes ridiculing the failures of modern architecture, technology and working-class housing (plotlands, Peacehaven). Lots of thumbing the nose at landlords! #litlon23

Thanks to Olly Ayers and his impressive students Ellen Scout Valente, Libby Collard and Odile Jordan who presented the similarly impressive 'Ignatius Sancho's London' project at the @literaryLondon conference @Northeastern @NortheasternLDN #litlon23

[Tyne Daile Sumner @tynedaile]

A joy to present today at @NortheasternLDN on Woolf, fashion & faces for @LiteraryLondon & @LiteratureFace. The opportunity to discuss shoes in detail at an academic conference has been most agreeable!

[Lucie Glasheen @LucieGlasheen]

Now #litlon23 @LiteraryLondon student panel Ellen Scout Valente Libby Collard and Odile Jordan (and absent Oliver Ayres) from @Northeastern London thinking about Ignatius Sancho's self fashioning as a gentleman and our fashioning of him as well as mapping his London

Day 1 of the Literary London Conference #litlon23 @NortheasternLDN. So far we've had rag fairs, digital cities, 19thC fashion, feminist visions of the city and so much more!

[Lucie Glasheen @LucieGlasheen]

Back in London for @LiteraryLondon conference in watery surrounds of St Katherine's dock. Kicking off with @PTAJones thinking about the conference as rummaging among the second hand, swap shop stores for interesting finds rather than the Hugo Boss of big academic confs #litlon23

[Peter Jones @PTAJones]

A splendid tour West Norwood Cemetery with Jane Jordan – full of archival highlights, colourful lives in the midst of subsiding graves, family catacombs and much discussion of the wildly variegated tastes of the dead! #litlon @LiteraryLondon @fownc1837 @WNCemetery

[Peter Jones @PTAJones]

Looking forward to getting the @LiteraryLondon band back together for 'Fashioning London'.

Come and join us at St Katharine Docks!

[Literary London @LiteraryLondon]

Exciting! 🫣

[Literary London @LiteraryLondon]

On Friday 7 July, prepare to be transported to 18th-century London.

Charlotte Grant (@NortheasternLDN) illuminates the art of self-fashioning in 'Roxana' and 'Fantomina'.
