Just like that the ‘Collins and Dickens’ conference draws to a close. Thanks to our wonderful speakers and all those who attended, from near and far! It’s been an amazing two days full of exciting talks - the perfect way to celebrate Collins’s bicentenary! #CollinsandDickens

I know, I know..."don't judge a book by its cover"...but nonetheless: look at this! It's beautiful. Can't wait to see the physical copy in Spring next year.

Saw this in person this summer at Magdalen, and it was fantastic. So glad to see that now everyone can get a flavour of how great it was via this online version of the exhibit.
We're delighted to announce that the online version of our C. S. Lewis: words and worlds exhibition is now live. If you missed the physical exhibition, or want to revisit it, check it out here: cslewiswordsandworlds.magd.o…

Yesterday we had @jojomarshcol give her talk to our postgraduates on Goblins in The Chimes. Now it's my turn: I'll be talking to our Dickens students tonight on Dickens’s experience of writing in Italy (including, of course, The Chimes!)

I had a great time presenting at Dickens Day today, and heard so many fascinating papers which have me full of ideas!
Then I went to hear @amy_coles_ presenting on the triple goddess in Dombey, an exploration of female power and matriarchal magic in the novel

The Michaelmas term card is now out, so I am delighted to share that I have been invited to address the Oxford C.S. Lewis Society this term. I will be talking about the different ways Lewis engaged with and was haunted by (in a good way) Shakespeare throughout his life. – at Buckingham, England

If you missed the paper (either thanks to the vast array of parallel panels, or just not being able to make the conference), fear not. You can read the full story in my book, and even get a preview of it in my forthcoming article in VII (which will be out this fall). – at Newberg, OR
Was so delighted to present my research at the world's biggest ever CS Lewis conference (organized by @lewisinitiative) out in Oregon @georgefox last week. I shared some of my work on just how critical Shakespeare was in Lewis's conversion. Dyson too. Yes, really.
