People often imagine that each of London's private members' clubs are bursting with vast libraries. Not true.

Many have closed down - as underused as public libraries - or been converted into conferencing rooms. Many never had a library. This🧵looks at those which survive...

Thread of amazing underwater sculptures you (probably) didn't know existed 🧵

At 8 am on 19th May 1536, Queen #AnneBoleyn was escorted from the Queen’s apartments at the Tower of London to a scaffold erected to the north of the White Tower. This was her last walk.

Virginia Woolf took her own life 83 years ago on this day. Here is the beautiful final letter she left for her husband, my great-uncle Leonard Woolf 💜

I think this might be the most exciting thing to happen in Classics since the decipherment of Linear B. It could be even bigger than that. New ancient texts of the highest quality-and maybe the lost works dreamed of for centuries! Cicero's Hortensius? Poetry by Gallus?

Yup, AI generated art can be rubbish, but I'm still loving using it as a revision resource for literature. Talk through the picture and poem, link it to a line, explore metaphor/meaning...

Here are some of my favourites... My Last Duchess:

I promise you, you're under no obligation to justify your boundaries, explain your "no", prove your worth, make sure people understand you, regulate their emotions, manage their insecurities, do what they expect of you, heal their wounds, and be the version of you in their minds.

New year and a new (to me) portrait of Christine de Pizan. This painting by Marco Tulio was unveiled last year at the Vancouver Summer Festival

Word of the Day (because it’s about time) is ‘respair’, from the 16th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. One of too many lost positives we could do with bringing back.

Wishing everyone a gruntled, gormful, ruthful and feckful New Year, full of respair.

[Tudor Extra @TudorExtra]

Between 1554 and 1558, Mary I and Philip II of Spain appeared in a number of gorgeously illuminated Plea Rolls (Coram Rege Rolls).

"A key phrase in the Tales is: 'Diverse folk, diversely they said.' In other words, everyone has a different interpretation." Marion Turner on the perennial reinvention of Chaucer. https://t.co/xCH4pvu6zb
