@exeter.ac.uk English and Creative Writing Department has just posted a Digital Bookcase with links to profiles and publishers. It's fascinating to browse selections of the work of the department, including members of the CVS in the Long Nineteenth Century category. english.exeter.ac.uk/literature/

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Professor Brian Maidment this week. Brian and I collaborated for years on the Cotton Famine Poetry project, and it was a privilege to get to know a scholar whose work on labouring-class C19th culture was foundational. He will be much missed by many.
