A joy today teaching Feminist Utopias on the MA ‘Empire and Imagination’ module @unibirmingham.bsky.social - we read ‘Sultana’s Dream’ (1905) by Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s ‘Herland’ (1915) to unpack ideas around exclusionary utopias in the context of empire 💭

What does Advances in Nineteenth-Century Studies do, I hear you ask? Hotly anticipating our launch in 2026, this journal will regularly include research articles; discussion forums; pedagogy practicums; & reviews of books, recordings, films, exhibitions, & digital resources.

SUMMONED TO THE SÉANCE edited by Emily Vincent @dremilyvincent.bsky.social Another wonderful book from the British Library Tales of the Weird series, this time all about seances. Great anthology, featuring mediums, sceptics & ghostly presences, with some very creepy stories & some lighter in tone.
