Browsing the newly published details of Charles Darwin's library more. Impressed to see novels in there - that's relatively unusual for a private library of this era. Many Dickens, many Gaskell. He also had works by Babbage, Mary Somerville and my g..uncle-in-law Charles Maclaren. http://darwin-online.org.uk/Complete_Library_of_Charles_Darwin.html #HistoryOfScience #BookHistory #Books #Bookstodon #Libraries #Reading #Darwin #CharlesDarwin #Science #Novels #Babbage #Dickens #CharlesBabbage #CharlesDickens #ElizabethGaskell #Gaskell

Write what moves you.

Folklore, gothic lit, social novels set at a vigorous YA pace entwined with nature, keeps my #writing flow in motion.

Influenced by reading #JillyCooper #Dickens #Austen #Bronte #Gaskell #JayKristoff #Paolini #AnneRice #Rowling

What lights your fire?

Today I have to grade 14 more essays; we begin my last M1 course on Death and Health in #Dickens; and I need to prep for my undergrad classes tomorrow where we’re reading #Gaskell and #Edgeworth

Tomorrow we start #Gaskell’s Ruth in our #DisabilityStudies course. Get excited.

Tomorrow my classes are starting #Gaskell’s North and South and #Shelley’s #Frankenstein. Absolutely pumped!

Great to see @KevinAMorrison2@twitter.com's upcoming book The Provincial Fiction of #Mitford, #Gaskell and #Eliot listed @EdinburghUP@twitter.com! Check it out! #Victorian https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-the-provincial-fiction-of-mitford-gaskell-and-eliot.html

I asked my #LiteratureAndMedicine students what text they would get rid of if they had to get rid of one—they didn’t want to get rid of any of them. They all saw valuable things in #Gaskell’s North and South, #Austen’s Persuasion, #Edgeworth’s Belinda
