Robin Hood is an outlaw who seems more lawful than the law.
Our latest Peacock summer post looks at Maid Marian, liberty, authority and the politics of romance, where the author turns the Robin Hood legend into something light, comic and sharp.

Scrambled eggs are the ultimate comfort food—but not when they are watery, sticky or drowned in milk.
This version uses toasted cumin, herbs and the brilliantly simple way of cracking the eggs straight into the pan.

This week's #FridayPopcorn: Gilda (1946). 🖤 Rita Hayworth at her smouldering finest in this noir classic. A femme fatale who could stop traffic by simply removing a glove. Glenn Ford, George Macready, and enough tension to power a small city. Put the pedal to the metal. 🍿 #Gilda #FilmNoir #PWavePress

In Headlong Hall, Thomas Love Peacock turns a country-house gathering into a comic laboratory of optimists, pessimists, improvers and eccentrics.
The joke is not that ideas are foolish. It is that clever people so often turn them into systems.

This week's #FridayPopcorn: Powell & Pressburger's A Matter of Life and Death (1946). ⚖️🎬 A wartime pilot survives a bungled bail-out, falls in love, then must argue for his life in a celestial court. Technicolor romance meets monochrome bureaucracy. Still dazzling after 80 years. 🍿 #AMatterOfLifeAndDeath #PowellPressburger #PWavePress

This week's #FridayPopcorn: the original Ghostbusters (1984). 👻 Proton packs, a giant marshmallow man and Bill Murray at his deadpan finest. The film that blew me away as a kid still holds up beautifully. Pure escapism for fractious times. Who ya gonna call? 🍿 #Ghostbusters #PWavePress

New on Pushing the Wave: L.A. Davenport reflects on Keir Starmer’s resignation, the collapse of his public-service image, and the political shapeshifting that now defines so much of British public life.

New on Pushing the Wave: a simple rosehip and hibiscus iced tea recipe for days when life, and the weather, get a little too hot to handle.

Arabella's imagination in The Female Quixote does not stop at books.
Her clothes, appearance, and self-presentation all challenge the expectations of eighteenth-century society.

Arabella's problem is not that she reads too many books.
It's that she lives inside them.
How The Female Quixote explores the power of stories to shape identity, perception and reality itself.

Why is Hermsprong being published in three volumes?
Because that's how Robert Bage's readers first encountered it in 1796.
Our latest blog post explores the original three-volume novel, eighteenth-century reading habits, and why we chose to restore the format.

This week's #FridayPopcorn pick: Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall (1990). 🌋🚀
Arnold Schwarzenegger as a construction worker with a fake memory of Mars? Yes, please. It's a visceral, bloody, and brilliantly absurd ride through a dystopian future where the only thing more explosive than the plot is the special effects.
Perfect for a Saturday night mind-bender. 🍿

Charlotte Lennox’s The Female Quixote is often described as a female Don Quixote.

But Arabella is not merely ridiculous. Her romance-shaped imagination exposes the limitations and hypocrisies of the world around her.
