Our postgraduate's twitter adaptation of The Fall of the House of Usher launches today. It's Poe, so don't expect a happy ending (you've been warned...)
Dear @FOTHOU_Narrator, I pray for your well-being. I humbly demand... no, I beg for your company here at @FOTHOU_TheHouse. Amidst the throes of my... my acute bodily illness, I yearn for the comforting embrace of you, my dearest and my only friend, to.. to alleviate my mood. #SOS

I'm about to kick off the second postgraduate seminar of this week, this time with @EmilyJLB speaking to our Dickens MA students on "Fictional Dickens". In case you're wondering - this is officially the best on-screen Dickens. I shall be taking no further questions at this time.
