@adampollock And, as I say, my choice was Chaucer (though in my class people looked at everyone from Charlotte Perkins Gilman to Brett Easton Ellis)

[Anna Nightingale @annapublishing]

@adampollock I took this A level in 2014 and did a feminist reading of The Wife of Bath's Tale by Chaucer (basically - is it offering a challenging view of women for the time, or warning readers of the dangers of the existence of this particular type of woman). It's applied to a text...

[Anna Nightingale @annapublishing]

@michael_merrick I took this A Level in English in 2014, and the critical readings on offer (to my memory) were either feminist or Marxist. So in terms of it being progressive, it's been the same or simply broadened out in the last 10 years...

@emily_glenister Thank you for joining my leadership campaign

I don't read much fantasy but I get the impression that they all have a character called Silas in

[Anna Nightingale @annapublishing]

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: if you are falling in love or heartbroken, you should be allowed two weeks off work. Do not ask me about legislating this. Also, for the record, I am neither right now I’m just a woman of the people.

[ella fox-martens 🛸 @ellafox_m]

I think she’s totally misunderstood what makes the innuendo in Sabrina’s work so sparkly and enjoyable, which is a core of silliness and camp that a stone cold narcissist is unable to achieve
