1 day ago by Lorri

All these are fine and fun and useful in their way but they take up time from actually living life. You see apparently demented people walking along a city street jabbering and gesticulating as i ...

A Fop and an Androgyne

1 day ago by willhansen2

Now reading: The Woman in White, by Wilkie Collins. This is the first of Wilkie Collins that I’ve read, and I must say I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy the writing itself; I expected something more sensationally and less imaginatively written, whereas it has been (at least so far) quite ...

The Woman in White

2 days ago by Haley

I feel as though nearly every post lately has been somehow related to academia–books or poetry I’ve read or lessons I’ve taught (and subsequently learned). My life is consumed with this realm; ergo, my blog reflects that. You’re welcome. Yesterday morning, I read page 617 of Wilkie Collins’ The Woma ...

Lavinia

4 days ago by lostspook

She was the youngest of eight sisters, who formed part of the family of a poor engraver, and who, in the absence of any mere money qualifications, were all rich alike in the ownership of most magnificent Christian names. Mrs Blyth was called Lavinia-Ada; and hers was by far the humblest name to be f ...

Le Fanu vs. Collins: the match

5 days ago by smithereens

With my deepest apologies for those who know anything about wrestling rules, my (twisted) imagination had Sheridan Le Fanu and Wilkie Collins both stepping up for a Victorian mystery competition, with a parallel reading of The Evil Guest (Le Fanu, 1851) and The Dead Secret (Collins, 1857). This was ...

La piedra lunar, Wilkie Collins

6 days ago by lahierbaroja

Cuando salió este libro elegido para el Club de Lectura “Cargada de Libros” he de admitir que no lo conocía. Nada sobre el autor, nada sobre el tema. Posteriormente me enteré que el señor Collins fue amigo de Charles Dickens, así que dicha situación me animó a leerlo (pensé que ambas literaturas se ...
