We’ve been very busy in the last few weeks. And as the Lady’s Magazine<\/em> project races towards completion in September 2016, I have been feeling more than a pang of guilt about not being as present on our social media as I would like to be. In part, that’s because we have all been quite busy outside the world of the Twittersphere, with conferences, workshops and, also, other forms of writing beyond the blog.<\/p>\n

We’ve been finding it hard to keep up with all the different things that we’ve been doing, and it occurred to me earlier this week that it likely means you have, too. So, just in case you have missed anything that may be of interest to you, we thought we would list\u00a0some of this activity in one place to make it easier to find. So here’s just some of the things we’ve been up to.<\/p>\n

New Statesman<\/em> Hidden Histories podcast series<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"hidden_hist\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A couple of months ago, I was invited by Dr Sophie Coulombeau (Cardiff University) and Dr Liz Edwards (University of Wales) to take part in 3 of a series of 6 podcasts on eighteenth-century women writers and and how both got written out of literary history for the New Statesman<\/em>. The\u00a0Lady’s Magazine<\/em> features prominently in two of the six podcasts: episode 4, ‘Sociable Spaces’ is about the magazine and the debating societies it tracked and mirrored for some of its history; and my\u00a0‘Fight Club’ pitch in episode 5 for the best woman writer of the eighteenth century was heavily influenced by her work on the magazine. The series as a whole is simply excellent and I had a ball being involved. The podcasts are free to listen to and download here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Fate Worse than Death: Marital Cynicism in the\u00a0Lady’s Magazine<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When Catherine Curzon, aka the fabulous Madame Gilflurt asked me if I would like to write something about the magazine for her wonderful blog, I jumped at the chance. I offered Catherine a few possible topics but was delighted when she picked the one I was hoping she would because it is a bit of a favourite of mine: the rotten state of marriage as it is portrayed in the magazine. You can read the blog post, which is much more fun than it sounds, I promise, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Quilter<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Stitch<\/a>The Stitch Off continues apace, with new items arriving each week and comments from visitors pouring in to tell us how much they admire and are inspired by the wonderful exhibition of our followers’ work on display at Chawton House Library, as part of their ‘Emma\u00a0<\/em>at 200′ exhibition. I have said it before, but honestly, the Stitch Off is one of the most enjoyable projects I have ever been, and likely ever will be, involved in in my working life. So you can imagine how I felt when\u00a0I was asked by the Editor of The Quilter<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>if I would write something about how it all came about for their summer 2016 issue (number 147). I received my hard copy of the magazine last week, and it now takes pride of place on my coffee table at work. If you would like to read the article, you can find it\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’d love to hear your thoughts about the article, blog post or podcast!<\/p>\n
