Outing myself as an unrepentant #Bridgerton fan here but new substack reflecting on some of the ~discourse~ about Sophie and Benedict, Regency-era inter-class romances, the literary 'lost heir' trope, and how it's all tied to how we relate money to virtue rowetation.substack.com/p/on…

I feel like Sophie and therefore the overall love story is undermined by the fact that deep down she is the daughter of a nobleman who was raised to be noble. Like that’s her ticket into the entry of society instead of forcing them to accept her even without the lineage which undermines the whole she’s a maid thing.

the teaser trailer for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights has garnered the predictable uproar, but here’s my take, full of gothic erotica and pulp film history, on why this adaptation could be spot on #wutheringheights #classicliterature #filmstudies rowetation.substack.com/p/on…

Cat-sitting at my mum’s for the weekend means a healthy balance of fenland walks and jogs, book editing, and kitten time (the last two often combined)

ALT gif from the office. it's a guy in a suit walking out an office door while there's lots of movement by other men in suits. The guy says "oh my god it's happening everybody stay CALM" while absolutely not staying calm.
