Author of 'Jane Austen and the Invention of Free Indirect Speech' (Peter Lang, 2025) Researching narrative style in long #C18 fiction, K.Ishiguro @hshimazakiphd
I had a great time attending a Kaken seminar held at Komaba TokyoUni @UTokyo_News_en. Prof. Emma Clery @austeneconomics, an invited lecturer, discussed Mary #Wollstonecraft, the first British feminist, regarding how her strategic use of the term #sensibility changed with time.
I had a blissful time visiting @hartleyspecialc to view their newly acquired treasures: 1st edn of #Emma, #NA/#Persuasion. They're in remarkably fine condition; beautifully marbled covers & leather bindings. I felt like they were gifts to #JaneAusten herself. Happy birthday Jane!
Newly arrived in Special Collections, first editions of Jane Austen’s Emma & Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, as well as a second edition of Sense and Sensibility. Thanks to the Friends of the National Libraries @FNL313 and its campaign to save the Blavatnik Honresfield Library!

Fascinating talk by Prof Kathryn Sutherland on Austen's fictional manuscripts at #JaneAusten Study Day @IES_London! By comparing Austen's manuscripts with her contemporaries' including Boswell, Byron, Godwin, Scott, and Burney, Sutherland affirms Austen's confidence as a writer.
Now, Janet Todd, 'Sanditon: Jane Austen's continuation', discussing whether Sandton is 'a new development for Jane Austen or part of a continuing conversation with the earlier novels?'
#JaneAusten Study Day 2020 @IES_London
Really enjoyed listening to Dr Major's talk on Austen's manuscripts as representations of her family's collected voice. Austen's letters are a key to understanding her contemporary reading community. Of special importance is the role played by young Cassandra.
Today is the day for Jane Austen Study Day 2020: "Jane Austen's Manuscripts" at Senate House @IES_London. The first speaker, Dr Emma Major discussing 'Murder and Mayhem in the Teenage Eritings'.
What a cornucopia! Fans of #MaryWollstonecraft rejoice, notwithstanding the fact that according to one line of criticism discussed in this wonderful special issue she represents ‘the annihilation of joy’...😲
Writing Women’s Rights is a unique and timely exhibition here at @ChawtonHouse which houses over 10k volumes written by women, including a 1st edition #Wollstonecraft & books that Jane Austen held and read.
(I’m basically in heaven)
Hugely looking forward to this talk tomorrow, from @BeeRowlatt@maryonthegreen@TheWollSoc! Perfect opportunity too, to see the beautiful display of rare books from the collection, 'Writing Women's Rights' & @louisa_albani exhibition of prints #MaryWollstonecraft at Versailles.
Whether it rains or not, visiting @ChawtonHouse is always nice, especially when it comes to listening to Prof Jocelyn Harris's talk. Her discussion on #Austen's relation to Fanny Burney detailed both authors' historical contexts regarding the East Indian Company. So entertaining!
Today at BSECS Criticks, Rebecca Sandell reviews @FoundlingMuseum's current exhibition, Two Last Nights!, about Georgian show business - on until January 5th: https://t.co/8LVKI8N4zM
