I have rewatched this over and over

[Spencer A. Klavan @SpencerKlavan]

Andrew Scott delivers this speech too slowly; I know some viewers will hate the way he breaks up the verse. AND YET even in spite of that I think this is the best delivery of this soliloquy I’ve ever seen.

He makes it sound like it’s not a portentous speech everyone already knows but a morally serious real-time deliberation, by a highly intelligent person in extreme pain, considering what it would mean to end his own life.

On this four-week course from the University of Glasgow, you’ll delve into the dark world of the Tartan Noir genre. With each week focusing on a different literary feature, you’ll learn what distinguishes Scottish crime writing from its parallels elsewhere in the world.

@GretelleMaitre Loved that book

Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write 'very;' your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.

My latest venture is something completely new. It's a colouring book & interactive commentary on Homer's #Odyssey. Designed to get you and your kids off their devices and into #Classics! Thanks to @wmarybeard @GreekMythComix @britishmuseum & many others! https://t.co/feKPgZX3eg

@wmarybeard @CarolineLawrenc This is lovely!

[Ashley Booth @MrBoothY6]

Can't wait to get back to it tomorrow. These are our class novels this year from Y3-6. For the first time, I'm not going to be reading it to my class - that stings!

[Perdita Cargill @perditact]

@MrBoothY6 Oh it is so special to see DoaAW there! Thank you and wishing you a happy back-to-school.

[Perdita Cargill @perditact]

@jonronson Ha! Will pick it up in @WstoneIslington (it has its own table). Love to E and J.

In the 19th century, painters and especially printmakers were fascinated by fashion cycles – but sculptors seem to have missed out on the fun, writes Tom Stammers

I’m a big fan of this photo of Madonna looking like a visiting lecturer who will absolutely not give you an extension on your modernist poetry essay because you chipped your tooth on a Snickers bar

The London Review Bookshop has reported £1m annual sales for the first time, thanks – in part – to its partnership with the restaurant St JOHN. 👇 https://t.co/eyukQ90eWM

@SchoolReading Here’s a new one!

[Perdita Cargill @perditact]

@SchoolReading Wonderful book

[Vincenzo DM @DM_Vincenzo]

This exhibition in London (National Gallery / Nov 26 - April 27) is without a doubt one the most important events in years: all known portrait paintings by Jan van Eyck will feature in one exhibition!
