Our postgraduate's twitter adaptation of The Fall of the House of Usher launches today. It's Poe, so don't expect a happy ending (you've been warned...)

I'm really proud to be involved with this - for those who have never been, Dickens Day is an incredibly friendly conference open to academics and enthusiasts alike. And I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what spooky papers we get this year!

One of our postgraduates will be commencing a twitter reading of 'The Fall of the House of Usher' on Monday. How will Edgar Allen Poe's classic take translate to the digital age? Follow along and find out! Victor Salvador Roderick Usher Madeline Usher Usher House

Three modules this term, three amazing groups of students. What a joy it is to introduce new readers to the things we love, and to get a room full of new insights into them, often from perspectives unavailable to us.

Currently watching Jeremy Parrot Jeremy Parrott create a voltaic pile out of nineteenth century halfpennies to create electricity - all as part of a talk on David Copperfield for our Dickens postgrads. I swear it makes sense!

Very happy to see 'Critical Insights: Frankenstein' out in print today! My contribution looks at how parodies of Frankenstein have done a better job of unmonstering the Creature.

Our Spring Term Postgraduate Seminar series kicks off today with guest speaker Niall Munro from Oxford Brookes: '[U]sable as earth': futurity, progress, and the legacy of Frederick Douglass in the work of Paul Laurence Dunbar, Carrie Williams Clifford, and Robert Hayden.

I've now chosen some books to be ordered with my £100 prize voucher, which was graciously given to me by The University of Buckingham / Buckingham English. It's always enjoyable searching for new books to read.

Real thrill to hear Judith Flanders talking about her new book Rites of Passage at Collected Books Durham last night. She was the deciding factor in me undertaking my MA in Dickens research at Buckingham English (being one of the seminar speakers). That decision changed the course of my life.

Up bright and early on this blizzard-watch morning to head off and speak about all things Hamlet with a special emphasis on Ophelia, Melancholia, Pathologizing and Agency for UNW's Shakespeare and Film students.

Looking forward to talking to the honors program students UNW this evening. My title is: ''Boring?': Diggings, Discoveries, and Archival Adventures with CS Lewis.'

Attended graduation at beautiful The University of Buckingham. Thankful (surprised) to be awarded Davis/Drew prize. Photo taken with Prof John Drew to celebrate. It was lovely to catch up with my primary and secondary supervisors, Sarah Waters and Pete Orford. More photos/videos to come.

It's graduation day here at The University of Buckingham so that means one thing: bring out the cufflinks!
