Remarkable and courageous stuff
Melvyn Bragg shares a very personal story in his episode of Rosebud , when he tells @GylesB1 about the struggles he has had with his mental health - which began when he was a teenager.
We're honoured to have such brilliant guests on Rosebud, and to hear them speak so honestly.

I think one thing remains certain. We can ALL bond over the experience of reading Finnegans Wake for the first time.

Maciej Slomczynski spent 12 years translating Ulysses into Polish. He supported himself by writing detective novels as Joe Alex. Published in 1969, his Ulysses sold out instantly. It has an appealing feature: there's a Homeric bow on the cover; inside it’s drawn.

Approved agricultural pesticides are significantly harming bumble bees, with colonies growing less and producing fewer offspring, according to five-year European-wide research led by Professor Mark Brown @sphaerularia from @RHULBioSci @RoyalHolloway royalholloway.ac.uk/about-us…
Wonderful reading by @paullynchwriter from the most cosmic episode of Ulysses, plunging towards the constellation of Hercules.
We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to @paullynchwriter for his well-deserved Booker Prize. We were delighted to work with him in 2020 when he delivered a wonderful reading of the Ithaca chapter of Ulysses. You can watch below. youtube.com/watch?v=4mFMs8Qi…

In 1983 Tim Ahern published Finnegans Wake, Chapter One, The Illness Traited Colossick Edition, an imaginative and idiosyncratic illumination of Joyce’s work. In 2011 he followed up with a more ambitious Final Chapter, which included a foreword by @FinnFordham.

It was lovely to welcome our @ClassicsRHUL first-years and to start learning their first names (the latter is a seriously daunting task!). "Classics", they say, "is cool" and I couldn't agree more. @lizgloyn

Yes, our holiday last month was punctuated by a v. long queue-delay wait at Dover: all of us an the dog stewing in our car for ages and ages. No, I'm not over it. medium.com/adams-notebook/do…

A 'UEA scraps creative writing' story is taking hold. That's not what's happening. UEA Humanities are facing redundancies across many areas that feed a brilliant writing course (including Literature). That's *worse* in the long term because it's a culture / a mindset / a library.
