Vratio se Don Žuan -- looking forward to discussing the legacy of Tirso de Molina's play in ex-Yu at this year's Oxford Golden Age Symposium. I'll be paying particular focus on Don Juan's travels through the tense, post-1980 landscape. Tricky! All details below.

Isn't it so weird that every British teenager gets examined on their ability to produce a readable piece of literary criticism without ever reading any literary criticism, just going by mnemonics, a bit like medieval people drawing elephants

My piece in @spectator this week looks back at a lecture I attended this summer where a Cambridge art historian insisted paintings by Stanley Spencer were painted by David Jones. It revealed a weakness that stretches beyond one lecture; how we teach art history is woeful.

Lucinda Williams ha dado un concierto buenísimo en Madrid. Su voz arrastrada mantiene la fuerza de siempre. Que no toque la guitarra hace que se demuestre aún más el derroche de facultades brutal de tres fueras de serie: Doug Pettibone, Marc Ford y David Sutton. Qué banda bárbara

Tens of thousands have taken to the streets of Belgrade in what could be Serbia’s biggest anti-government protest. The movement began after last year’s Novi Sad train station collapse, which killed 15 people. Students, who first led the demonstrations, are now joined by farmers.

London for Belgrade. London je uz vas.

[Jakub Bielamowicz @KubaBielamowicz]

Tears of joy & excitement in Belgrade 🇷🇸 as thousands of Serbian students arrive from all over the country to take part in the largest anti-govt protest since the Milosevic overthrow in 2000.

In key Almodóvar films The Flower of My Secret and All About My Mother, Paredes’ distinctive chiselled features, striking eyes and husky voice were matched by elegance and defiance. https://t.co/Vr4UBNRAOc

I took a poetry class under Robert Hass and he once told us of a woman who suggested the double reference to the “tyger” in Blake’s poem was because “Maybe there are two tigers?”—to which Hass said “I can teach you nothing,” and I still don’t know if that was an insult or praise

The one thing linguistic prescriptivists and pedants are correct on is that "begs the question" should not be used as a synonym for "raises the question". Hold the line comrades.

Rio Tinto is demanding the removal of a peer-reviewed scientific article published in Nature that documents the environmental devastation lithium mining in Serbia would cause. Rio Tinto is literally attempting to censor scientists and remove scientific publications from the public domain. https://t.co/Ye1uZxXcKf
