Thanks to a wonderful @DickensFire podcast we have today been reminded that Vincent Van Gogh was inspired by Luke Fildes’ painting of Charles Dickens’ empty chair here at Gad’s Hill.
Van Gogh was deeply inspired and comforted by Dickens’ works throughout his all too short life.

It's US publication day for The Worlds of Jane Austen! Ranging from Jane's racy granny all the way down to the most recent adaptations and Austen-adjacent shows like Bridgerton, it's been hailed as 'a gem', 'a treasure-trove', 'a true delight' and 'a treat for fans'.
