My book has been published! It's about printed miscellanies and poetry from Dryden to the Romantic era. I wrote about it here: https://t.co/hW4BVZWJuw I'm particularly pleased with the cover, which features an image of an 18th-century needlework book cover!

Happy birthday Anna Laetitia Barbauld! #OTD 1743. Here’s a summer’s evening view of her birthplace in Kibworth Harcourt.

@kathleenkeown Congratulations! I spotted this a while ago and was shocked that there hasn't been an article on the subject before! This looks so interesting and I can see it informing a lot of my thinking about women writers in future.

Care for a bit of poetry on #WorldBookDay? Since January I've been reading The Seasons, one of the most popular 18th-century poems, and occasionally writing about it here: https://t.co/H3RFrFtyFn. I started with 'Winter', and I'll be moving on to 'Spring' soon!

@CoffeeBookGirl Congratulations! Time to relax and celebrate! 🎉

@AdamJBridgen @JenlynClement Thank you, Adam, those recommendations are very welcome! I'm just dipping into Tryon for teaching purposes at the moment, but I'm finding him very interesting.

@JackLynch000 Amazing! Sadly I don't have a discount code to share with you - keep an eye on library acquisitions or wait for the next Palgrave sale!

@jayguly Thank you! The cover image is from here: https://t.co/SrZSq3KGUy

@the_embrarian Wonderful! It's so good to hear about the book making its way out into the world.

@traveling2008 @PostFilm Thank you! 😊

[Carly Watson @carlyewatson]

@erinannmcc Wow, thank you! You know, in the latter stages of working on this I managed to convince myself that hardly anyone would want to read it (apart from my mum), so to hear that someone has ordered it is amazing!

[Carly Watson @carlyewatson]

@AdamJBridgen Thank you so much Adam! I hope you're doing very well.

[Carly Watson @carlyewatson]

@philistella Thank you so much! Yes, I started writing this in 2015, I think? Even though I'm very glad to have finished it, it's sad to let go of something that I've worked on for so long.

[Carly Watson @carlyewatson]

@AdamSmy36314691 Thank you! Your book on miscellanies was often on my desk when I was working on this - it was an invaluable model of how to think about miscellanies and what we can learn from them.
