A fine S. T. Coleridge letter up for auction at £10,000. A bit depressed. Longing for greatness. Pantisocracy. Infatuated with Mary Evans. Hits all the right notes, really. 😉

My new book is out in the world! It advocates a new, regional way of thinking about Scottish literature and Romanticism. It’s been a labour of love that’s seen me through two babies and a global pandemic, can’t wait to hear what people take from it 🙏 link.springer.com/book/10.1007...
