Happy Birthday, Anthony Trollope! It’s Weekend, Let’s Read! & A New Series by Katie Lumsden
Anthony Trollope was born on this day in 1815. I’ve only read five novels and a short story collection. I’m on the fifth volume of Chronicles of Barsetshire and I’m loving it so much that my recommendation for this weekend goes for the first volume in the series.
The Warden – Read or download at Project Gutenberg, if you have a Kobo, I recommend the Standard Ebooks version. Librivox also has three versions in audiobook, if you prefer. It’s the smallest of the series and maybe not the most loved, but I do recommend starting with it.
If you like satirical dystopian, you can go for The Fixed Period, that I recommended before.
Katie Lumsden is making a new series about Trollope, after reading all the 47 novels and the first episode (10 Reasons to Read Anthony Trollope) is out now on her YouTube channel. I watched it yesterday and it was a delight. And although I didn’t read much Trollope yet, I can relate with all these reasons (just from the Barsetshire Chronicles).

So, so tired! Finally, putting my feet up! With tea & Trollope's The Small House at Allington. I'm at 60% of the book and I really don't know where he's going! And it's not like him, is it? I mean, he usually gives one some kind of assurance!

Just ordered tickets for this subversive discussion of the Sherlock Holmes story ‘A Study In Scarlet’ for Saturday. It’s one of the reliably fascinating events and it’s donation funded. Sounds right up my dark and foggy cobbled street.

Happy #DraculaDay to my fellow Gothic Fiends. Stoker's enormously influential tale first published on this day in 1897, and just like the Count himself, seemingly immortal, never out of print, endlessly adapted to stage, film, games, even to muppet form, a mythos endlessly malleable to fit each generation's fear and desires.

CW: racism,slavery,sherlock holmes
I'm currently blogging my way through a reread of the Sherlock Holmes short stories. And just got to "The Five Orange Pips". Which, as I say in my writeup, is "a story that I find personally one of the most disturbing in the entire Holmes canon". https://vivdunstan.dreamwidth.org/tag/sherlock+holmes #SherlockHolmes #Racism #BlackLivesMatter #Slavery #VictorianLiterature #ConanDoyle #Literature #Books #Bookstodon #Reading #Fiction #ShortStories

I'm rereading Wilkie Collins chronologically and these days I'm on The Moonstone. A great deal of the plot hinges on various members of the gentry being deeply in debt. Despite the fact that all the laws, all their violent enforcement, are in their favor, after all, they write the laws, they absolutely can't escape their debts without finding some way to pay them.
Their laws provide them with all their wealth through the violence of enclosure and slavery. They provide them with endless serfs,* servants, and employees by (a) making it illegal to be unemployed and (b) taking away every possibility of employment other than wage labor, and yet, even with their frictionless ability to legislate whatever they want they've given themselves no escape from debt other than payment or imprisonment. Why?
I can't think of any reason besides the stability of the capitalism they all rely on for their obscene wealth. Yes, they take everything from their slaves, their colonies, and their working class, but to be able to repudiate debts would take everything from the finance industry on which their wealth also depends. There'd be no one to sell to them. They'd have nothing to do with their money without the vast luxury economy which supplies everything that makes their wealth worthwhile.
So as a class from time to time they'd sacrifice some of their peers to the violence of law enforcement because it was necessary to save the whole system from collapse. But none of this adds up to a respect for the rule of law or a system of equality under the law, either of which would also cause collapse.
Capital's control over the social narrative was relatively primitive in the mid 19th century, and it's easy for us to spot the contradictions, but nothing's changed at its core. Even now the law applies to the ruling class as necessary to stabilize capitalism and to the working class, slaves, and colonial subjects as necessary to control and continue their violent exploitation. Things look a lot better now on the surface because they've had to evolve that way to preserve stability, not because anything is different in essence.
And for all that it's a really banging novel, highly recommended! This, along with The Woman In White and (my personal fave) No Name are just pure Victorian fun (bracketing the ocean of bloodthirsty imperialist capitalism on which their entire society floats, as does ours).

* Speaking metaphorically. -
I'm rereading the works of Wilkie Collins chronologically. I first read them in my twenties, when I didn't understand capitalism and slavery at all, having been lied to by teachers for my entire life to that point. I loved the books unproblematically then, but now the political dimension oppresses my attention.
These people all have servants because they enclosed the commons and made it illegal not to have a job. Their income comes ultimately from slave labor in the colonies. Their ubiquitous sugar, rice, indigo, is made from destroyed African lives. Their gracious lives float on an ocean of blood.
As does mine in the present along with everyone else here in the imperial core. I tell myself that it's better hidden now, so easier to live with, but I bet it felt as hidden to the average middle or upper class citizen of Victorian England.
For all that, though, goddamit The Woman In White is a freaking great novel!
