A staged reading of Joanna Baillie’s 1798 comedy THE TRYAL. The text has been modified for the stage: it has been shortened but there is also a scene added to clarify the plot. This reading brings to life a text Baillie was unable to produce in her own day.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged…”
Susan Ferrier’s 2nd novel 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 (1824) starts with a nod & wink to Jane Austen’s 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦 (1813). In 1818, Blackwood’s paid £150 for 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦; it is a testament to Ferrier’s popularity that they paid £1000 for 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦

Susan Ferrier (1782–1854) was born #OTD, 7 Sept. Her 3 novels – 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, & 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘺 – are vivid & humorous accounts of Scottish society. Often compared to her contemporary Jane Austen, Ferrier’s satires are much more vicious…

"Portrait of Adam Mickiewicz on the Ayu-Dag Cliff," Walenty Wańkowicz, 1827-8.
Wańkowicz (1799-1842) was a Polish painter, born in present-day Belarus, and considered something of a celebrity there still. His family home is now a museum of his work.
He and Mickiewicz became friends while at the University of Vilnius and later reconnected in St. Petersburg. Mickiewicz was rising to prominence as a poet, and so this portrait was created, referring to one of his most popular poems about the Ayu-Dag cliffs in Crimea.
Mickiewicz (1798-1855) was a poet, dramatist, essayist, and political activist who is still today regarded as a national treasure in Poland, Lithuania, and Belarus. (The Lithuanian national anthem borrows from his work!) He's regarded as one of the greatest European poets ever, while being fairly unknown outside of Europe. He helped lead rebellions against the imperial powers that dominated Poland and Lithuania, before escaping the clutches of the Russian Empire in 1829 and living out his life abroad, but always fighting for a democratic, independent Poland.
Happy Portrait Monday!
From the National Museum in Warsaw.

Musical DNA of But Live It — Steely Dan
Steely Dan have always felt like a universe of their own. The precision, the warmth, the studio craftsmanship, songs built like little films.
But beneath all that perfection there’s also a quiet longing, a kind of understated romanticism that runs through their harmonies and stories. That blend of sophistication and emotional depth shaped how I think about sound.

A curious coincidence? A certain sympathy for the Satanic? Or a testament to the enduring influence of the JUSTIFIED SINNER? Of eight devilish novels chosen by Luke Dumas for the Literary Hub, three – including Hogg’s masterpiece – are by Scottish authors…
