Spent a useful day thinking of 1795 & 'Edwy and Elgiva'. Definitely an idea for #ASECS2021 @ASECSOffice. I must think out of the box to appraise #Burney's #tragedies. A bold move to chose a political theme at the time! Why did #Burney go that way? @Professor_Pop @BurneyCentre
Last week in 2 actions: completed application draft on #FrancesBurney and #theatre ; got hold of rare material on #FrancesBurney on #stage. Whatever the outcome of the application, the perfect chance of re-think my #research and give it scope. @MSCActions project @FRIAS_UFreiburg

Today some thoughts on (#Greek) #tragedy and the #enlightenment, partic. #tragedy and #philosophy. Also, reflections on #Oedipus & his quest for #truth in the #Romantic framework. Nexus #truth #enlightenment + #tragedy. Self to self:#Burney and #Greek tragedy. #romanticism #C18th

Today's task: #tragedy at the end of #C18. I see a lot of tragedy in the century -- sub rosa but definitely there. In the century of the star actors and comedy, #tragedy has a story to tell. #Richardson's #Clarissa sits there, right in the middle of the century, a #tragic beacon

Greek tragic models are embedded in the #Gothic novel. The grand plots of incest, Lewis's The Monk, even #Burney's Camilla are built on solid classical/Greek foundations. Therefore, Burney and the #tragic full on today. @Professor_Pop @AngieRHogan #Research_Proposal @MSCActions

Back to this part of my #Twitterverse. Today my thoughts'll be revolving around #Burney & #celebrity capital, myself as 'creativity researcher' #DH #VR, the female dramaturge/Burney's 'position of enunciation', #potential. #OpeningRomanticism, #Romantic #stage, #theatre #research

I am now officially the only individual I know to own ... ehm 3 sets of #Burney's #plays. Each copy is new territory in my research. Which leads me to think how many copies of Jane #Austen's novels I own🤫🤔 [quickly running to put ccs in safe]. This time, @AbeBooks fed my habit

Over and out until less sore times.
Currently reading Blair Hoxby on Baroque #tragedy. I had a little accident in the afternoon and now I am resting on my bed. Praise be given to the #ipad and #wifi . @OUPAcademic #pathos #nature #trauerspiel #mourning #monarch #extreme #corpse #FBStage

This was meant for @thehiddenroom . Sorry for the Tweet hiccup. Badly need coffee...
Just happened upon you during a Google trawl. So truly interesting! I'm trying to organise a staged reading of a forgotten Romantic play. I'll delve through everything of yours available online. Suggestions gratefully accepted for my #FBstage project. Also tweet as @Professor_Pop
