I had a great time presenting a paper based on my doctoral research at the UCL English Graduate Research Seminar last night. Great to catch up with academic staff and my peers.

I remember the experience of reading ‘History’ as an A-level student and feeling then that this was going to be a transformative poem… just magical.

Jenni Nuttall @Stylisticienne was a wonderful scholar and teacher, and a colleague and friend on whom I could always depend for home truths, thoroughly practical advice, and a shared supply of chocolate to tide us through long hours of admissions interviews. She is so, so missed.

The situation is especially severe in the UK, where the last time house prices were this unaffordable was in ... 1876.
