My little November plea seems plaintive and shrill, so may I send a warm New Year Greeting and even warmer welcome to send a note, an e-mail, another post here for POL and survival of all these vexing times. I miss your cheery voice, and hope you're warm and well. ganjin042@gmail.com (wistful emoji and glowing hope).racheldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786891389440886195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421822117996903245.post-76298759314791735352021-11-03T05:24:58.256-07:002021-11-03T05:24:58.256-07:00Are you OK over there, My Friend?

Just checking in on you---we're all slowly blinking our way out into the light of day, and hope you're well and warm.

I was thinking more along the lines of the reputational trashing of writers which then dissuades a reader from picking up a book without sneering, when they might previously have enjoyed them. Virginia Woolf's suicide, for instance, gave rise to surprising aspersions cast upon her and coloured many a reader's approach to her work at the time. Say what you will about her novels, I've recently had her conversational company in the form of her 1925 First Common Reader and she comes across as funny and open-minded, and you can't guess what dark days are in store for her.Pipistrellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904613196101010022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421822117996903245.post-39909618000068754642020-09-21T07:13:32.146-07:002020-09-21T07:13:32.146-07:00Very well said Pippy but what an author thinks &qu...Very well said Pippy but what an author thinks "on their days off" has everything to do with their published work and their referrals have often guided me to more undiscovered treasure. It was Patrick O'Brian who informed me Jane Austen was far more than posh chick lit. Knowing that during Tolstoy's trip to London in 1861, he was able to witness his idol's public reading of A Christmas Carol prompting Tolstoy to place a pic of Dickens over his writing desk at his summer home, Yasnaya Polyana, so that a son of the Marshalsea Debtor's Prison provided a watchful eye as War & Peace and Anna K were born places those artists and their work much deeper in my heart.GSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903412564467078538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421822117996903245.post-84868844382096917932020-09-21T06:12:45.755-07:002020-09-21T06:12:45.755-07:00I've never bought the Unpublishable line befor...I've never bought the Unpublishable line before, possibly because Gender Studies was not a feature of a tertiary education amongst engineers and mathematicians, and anyways, only a cursory survey of Olde Books brings one Ann Radcliffe to light, gothic novelist and she of the Mysteries of Udolpho, which gets endless references even today, my latest being a throw away line in a recent costume drama. According to the highest authority in the land, Wikipedia, she was the highest paid novelist of the 1790s and was almost universally admired. From then on, the same story is repeated endlessly. P'rhaps the occasional authoress whose work was, shall we say, unmarketable, needed to find an excuse? All smacks of Urban Myth, frankly. I imagine many reasons for adopting a masculine pseudonym, and Gravitas is only one. I must concur with the general praise of Middlemarch, and not because I want to be seen to be nodding obliging with great male critics, and I frankly couldn't give a fig what she thought of other lady writers, her books are all that interest me. Call me old-fashioned but what an author looks like or thinks on their days off has no bearing on what I think about their published work. Having a good face for radio is as true in the world of books. <br /><br />Now this is your second reference to Josephine Tey in the last little bit, so she must go onto The List forthwith. Hillary Mantel is a goddess and needs no further introduction but I'm unaware of BT and The Guns of August and think it would fit very nicely with my current reading diet. I'm still busy with WWII fodder, but always have room for another war.<br /><br />Your family tree sounds lush and strong, GSL, and it's very gracious that you recognise this and sing praise. And it's always good to learn when you're young that pity-parties are a dull option.Pipistrellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904613196101010022noreply@blogger.com
