And Sir Charles Grandison, obviously. You mock but is it less eventful than The Gilded Age?

I am soooooo late to this. Can I belatedly join the world of 18th bluesky, please? Richardsonian contrarian seeking sense of humour in academia. Thank you!

Love Burney for-ever.
If you’re an Austen sicko and haven’t read the books she cited as “only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed” (the work of Burney, Edgeworth) or loved (Richardson’s Sir Charles Grandison) it’s worth your time.

I was going to say rereading but I seem to never _stop_ reading Burney

It's hot & humid & I am lobotomized by marking so here's a reminder that I once did some research & writing. My chapter on male virgins in Sir Charles Grandison. Start reading for the 18thc gender insights, stay for the surprising finish on sexy male virgin fantasies in contemporary romance. #C18th

time to make a prestige television version of Sir Charles Grandison
Interesting speech by Vince Gilligan, who is clearly chagrined over the bad-fan response to Walter White: www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/v...
Vince Gilligan Calls for Writers to Cut Back on Villain Stories Amid Current Political Climate: “They’ve Become Aspirational”
The 'Breaking Bad' creator said in now looking back at Walter White, "I think I'd rather be celebrated for creating someone a bit more inspiring."

This is mostly a thread of beefing 18th century nerds, & while I love Tristram Shandy I have to throw down for Jane Austen’s favorite novel Sir Charles Grandison, one of the great novels about anxiety, polyamory, & holding dudes to ethical standards ever written. It’s bonkers & I make no apologies.
