Madeleine (1883) by Christian Krohg (Norwegian artist, lived 1852–1925). We are left to speculate, but it appears to be a fallen woman in a barren bedroom, sitting on a thin mattress and iron bedstead. Realism in the arts.

Art historians should also explore the new #RoyalSociety digital archive - there are hundreds of diagrams, drawings, watercolours, photographs and paintings, most of which were never published (and the ones that were published, were in B&W even if originals were colour).

For instance, this set of materials about Tenerife includes watercolours and stereoscopic photographs: https://makingscience.royalsociety.org/items/ms_626/tenerife-papers-of-charles-piazzi-smyth?page=10

For the Women’s History Scotland blog, I’ve written a post about my presentation “Female Textile Designers in Britain, c. 1840-1880” at the North American Conference on British Studies annual meeting in November 2022. I am grateful to Women’s History Scotland for the Research Bursary that supported my travel to the conference!

Very pleased to have put the final touches on 'Beyond the Enlightenment: Scottish Intellectual Life, 1790-1914' (edited by me and Colin Kidd, due #EdinburghUP in May)!

It explores how #Scottish intellectual culture shifted from the #Enlightenment to the #Victorians.

Starting a project just as covid hit wasn't ideal, so many thanks to our talented team of postdocs and all our contributors (and #LeverhulmeTrust and #StAndrewsHistory for support)

Of interest to all #Romantodons, #Litodons, #Victodons, #Bookstodons, and #Comics lovers @academicchatter

If you're at a #Scottish #university, believe in #openaccess, and have a monograph nearly finished and not yet under contract, then...

18th January is the deadline for the first call for monographs from the new Scottish Universities Press @[email protected]

Monograph must be nearly completed (i.e. to be delivered later this year). An open call for other monographs will follow in February. See https://www.sup.ac.uk/

Apparently there's a #victodons hashtag for this sort of stuff...

Any #histodons or #victodons who're feeling inspired by the #openaccess release yesterday of all the correspondence of Charles #Darwin may also be interested in the Epsilon Project.

https://epsilon.ac.uk/

It aims to bring together lots of different Victorian correspondences, to be searchable in one place (think #EMLO, but 19thC). So far, it's got scientists' correspondence, but it could expand. (And so far, it's not as nicely designed as the main Darwin Corresp site - but it will improve!)

@_bydbach_
@VicTurk

Isn't full-text searching such fun?

Historians of science have been reading Darwin's correspondence for years, but have other #histodons used his correspondence to think about travel (maybe), health (probably), novel-reading, the state of the Victorian post office, or the benefits of modest pedestrianism?

There will be so much more to get out of these Victorian corerspondences once they're all fully searchable... (See also https://epsilon.ac.uk/ )
