Next Thursday (19th Oct) I'll be joined by 3 of my HistoryManMet students (Kira, Samuel, and Aieyan) to talk about board games based on Ancient Egypt as part of the M.E.S.S. series. It's hybrid, on MMU's campus and via Zoom.

Still time to get tickets for our Halloween lecture on Saturday: “[S]tep Not Out of this Magic Circle” : Ancient Egypt and Occult Theatre of the Fin de Siècle by Dr Eleanor Dobson Ellie Dobson Tickets: eventbrite.com/e/halloween-le… Members can attend for free!! #Egyptomania

If folks enjoyed this thread, the identification of artefacts from Tutankhamun's tomb that inspired pieces in the 1999 film formed the basis of an essay about the afterlife of the Tutankhamun excavations available here: archaeopress.com/Archaeopress/d…. Check out the other chapters too!

In Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897), Dr Seward’s journals are famously ‘Kept in Phonograph’. Join me for a nerdy deep dive in which I, brandishing back-of-an-envelope math, calculate the cost of Seward's phonograph habit, & encounter a creature more uncanny than Dracula himself! 1/13

We are delighted to share our provisional programme for #Corelli100 Tickets are available to book now at commemoratingcorelli.wordpress.com for in-person or zoom attendance. It’s going to be a packed day of rich and exciting scholarship!

Exceptionally excited to see Dr Emily Vincent (dremilyvincent.bsky.social)'s article on the Gothic nursemaid in this issue of @CuspLate. Take a look for Henry James's 'The Turn of the Screw' & Florence Marryat's 'The Blood of the Vampire' & 'Little White Souls', read in light of spiritualism and empire 🦇

Exciting postdoc opportunity!

Today, large parts of the USA will be able to observe a full solar eclipse, but will it be as spectacular as the 1882 Egyptian eclipse? On May 17, 1882 one could observe a full solar eclipse combined with a comet passage (!)☄️☀️ 1/10

Bravo Yousef! A pleasure to read and examine your thesis, which will make waves!

Jo's discoveries enormously impact our understanding of who Marie Corelli was and the breadth of her diverse career. Exciting that the publication of some of these findings coincides with the centenary of Corelli's death - and #Corelli100 of course...!

In-person places have now sold out, but attendance at #Corelli100 is still possible online (thanks to VPFA event funding) Tickets are £10, and available at shop.bham.ac.uk/conferences-an…

The sun is out at Shakespeare Institute contrary to the forecast! Excited for delegates to get to see Corelli's garden in all its glory 🌞 #Corelli100

Featuring a brief mention of #Corelli100!
