  1. 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.

  26. “Miss Ferrier avowedly made thumb-nail sketches,—as is proved in one of the few surviving letters to or from her,—out of which grew the merciless caricatures that created her fame”

    —an 1893 article in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘵𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 contrasting Sussan Ferrier & Jane Austen

  27. “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

  28. 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…

  30. It was upon a Lammas night,
    When corn rigs are bonie,
    Beneath the moon’s unclouded light,
    I held awa to Annie…

    —Robert Burns, “Corn Rigs”
    pages from Robert Burns: Selected Poems & Songs (OUP, 2013)

    Today, 1 August, is Lammas Day

  31. I shiver, Spirit fierce and bold,
    At thought of what I now behold:
    As vapours breathed from dungeons cold,
    Strike pleasure dead,
    So sadness comes from out the mould
    Where Burns is laid…

    —William Wordsworth, “At the Grave of Burns, 1803, Seven Years After His Death”

    William Wordsworth has a go at a Standard Habbie

  40. Spent a good deal of time browsing the Smithsonian's online collection of works from George Catlin's Indian Gallery.

    These pictures have long fascinated me. They could be fitted into so many histories: American Indians, romanticism, portraiture, Western art, US art, colonialism, antebellum US history...
