Amazing time today at @UniofHertshe Festival of Ideas! Re-connected with @UHLiterature staff who nurtured me through my Masters (@hughes_rowland), & was inspired by female comedy icon @HelenLederer - especially as I was once an anonymous reviewer for her amazing UH @CWIPprize!

In #NoMowMay are your wildflowers thriving like Prince Hal? And so the prince obscured his contemplation Under the veil of wildness; which, no doubt, Grew like the summer grass, fastest by night, Henry V (1. 1)

Loving these replies by @MarieCorelli - so characteristic of Corelli's sparkling wit. On a serious note, incredible centenary conference organized yesterday @Corelli100. I learnt SO very much, all in a day!
A centenary celebration, you say? How quaint. Did it take them this long to realize their folly in neglecting my genius?

We’re excited to support the celebrations of the life of writer Marie Corelli today. One feels she must have been a feisty lady - but as @valmcdermid revealed yesterday, that is old English for farty 🤷🏼‍♀️

A PGR session at the University of Nottingham - years ago now, but it really stuck in my head because I would have pronounced it MaREE if I'd only seen it written down

Marie Corelli died on this day, so here's a pair of illustrations by Arthur Severn from her "The Devil's Motor" (1910), plus a book cover (by RH Miller) from 1904 and an 1898 theatrical poster.
