Really interesting story and nice to see the translation by Ros Schwartz discussed in depth. Her point about the difference in register in English between Latinate and Anglo-Saxon words is really useful to keep in mind in both directions too

This is the year to celebrate Mary Shelley afresh: a new film - ‘Frankenstein’ - by @realgdt.bsky.social, an adaptation of ‘The Bride!’ (of Frankenstein) by Maggie Gyllenhaal … and of course our new book ‘Mary Shelley in Bath’. Bring on the Gothic 🖤 #booksky #frankenstein #maryshelley

My new blog post on Celia Dale's wonderfully unsettling novel of devotion and deception, A SPRING OF LOVE. readersretreat2017.wordpress.com/2025/02/01/a...

Cover reveal!! Calling all Celia Dale fans: this may be her most fun book yet (but we'll let you be the judge of that) OTHER PEOPLE is a compelling coming-of-age tale told with Dale's trademark wit and observation, deliciously dark and surprising, and a fun cover to boot; we love this one!
