'Rarely have the novels of two centuries ago so jumped off the page and into our lives as in Courting Disaster.' - @devoneylooser In her debut book, @theZHM reads between the lines of Regency romances to unveil a quiet feminist movement that still resonates today. Coming soon!

Front page of today’s Guardian marks the most significant change to family law since 1989. It’s astonishing that one sentence in legislation caused so much harm & took over a decade to abolish. Hearing Claire and the Prime Minister speak was deeply moving. This is for her boys.

I've been lucky enough to read Courting Disaster already and to see how @theZHM uses detailed close reading to make big arguments, producing a fascinating re-examination not just of the eighteenth century courtship novel but of our own ideas about romance and consent.
What do #MeToo and Jane Austen have in common? More than you might think. In her debut book, @theZHM deep-dives into classic novels, to unveil a quiet feminist movement that still resonates today. Because every novel about marriage is also a novel about consent.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Israel is literally wiping out apartment buildings in Beirut tonight. Let that sink in—residential buildings full of Lebanese families. In what universe is this considered “self-defense”?
