The reason Dickens is unimpressed is "by reason of the hideous paintings with which its walls are covered. These represent the martyrdoms of saints and early Christians; and such a panorama of horror and butchery, no man could imagine in his sleep." How bad could they be? Oh. 21/
@Dickens_Society Pecksniff. There were times he got me so mad, I had to put the book down.
I've signed the contract now, so am happy to say I'll be editing another work for the @OUPAcademic Dickens series and it is....Dombey and Son - one of my favourites.
@EmilyJLB "Newly emerged evidence showing Batman and Boz together disputes popular theory that Charles is the caped crusader. Coming up next we'll be talking to beard expert Herr Suit who is running extensive comparisons to argue that Dickens *may* be Aquaman..."
The infrared and x-ray scans of the painting reveal earlier deletions, such as the painting behind Catherine. Hopefully the @DickensMuseum can do further work to restore the picture to its full glory!
With the 150th anniversary of Dickens's death coming next month, I've put Pictures from Italy to one side temporarily, and am enjoying reimmersing myself in The Mystery of Edwin Drood, especially @alysjones1's awesome illustrations for @Drood_Inquiry
Well, I ran my first online seminar today with students around the world. It didn't go too bad, even though my internet reception is on a par with the star destroyer's in an asteroid field.
I consider myself an open-minded individual, but I honestly don't understand how anyone could be anything but #TeamDinosaur on this question.
Or indeed, any question. https://t.co/vw2rnc3KCj
