More items of interest to pass on in addition to the recently published articles I posted on yesterday...
- EvaClaire Albion Wright, at the Sophian, the weekly student press at Smith College, ran an article this week on the Mortimer Rare Book Room, "Rare Book Room allows student interaction with charming collection". As someone who has worked a lot in the Mortimer Rare Book Room, I can't say enough how wonderful and accurate this article was to read.
- Thanks to Gail Crowther for sending on "Church featured in BBC's Jam and Jerusalem desecrated by vandals", an article that ran in The Telegraph. This is the Church that Court Green faces; and about which Plath wrote about in the poem "The Moon and the Yew Tree" and the short story "Mothers".
- On 25 November, Olivia Cole of The Spectator reports Frieda Hughes will read with Don Paterson, herself, and others at the The Spectator Boardroom, 22 Old Queen Street, London, SW1H 9HP between 6:30pm and 9pm. I'm confused, however, because although Frieda Hughes is the first poet named in the blog article, she is not included on the poetry events page linked from the blog.
- Hilary Stout at the New York Times reports on "Where the Boys Aren't". The article discusses ye olde women's only hotels, and mentioned The Barbizon, where Plath stayed in the summer of 1953 during her guest editorship at Madmeoiselle. There is a lovely slideshow.
