#19th century literature

[moon-meerkat]

never related to authors being like "childhood is such a blessed innocent time", catch me with that jane eyre shit like "such dread as children only can feel" and "I then sat with my doll on my knee til the fire got low, glancing round occasionally to make sure nothing worse than myself haunted the shadowy room"

Just realized that “Ozymandias” and “The Foundations of Decay” have very similar themes

"I never wish to be easily defined. I'd rather float over other people's minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person."

-Franz Kafka (diary of March 24th 1914)

can we also have a quiet moment for Adam from Frankenstein?

Like, I understand that his actions are irrevocably immoral and cruel, but at the same time was it not cruel for him to constantly witness love and devotion, only for him to be hit and hurt and shunned when he begged for that same love? That since he could not have love, he would have fear and hate, and then went to exact his revenge on the one person, the ONE person, he thought would understand him and possibly love him, only for that person to prove his inner thoughts of "I AM a monster," by reacting with the same horror and fear of when he was created?

The fact that when that person, who then dedicated his life to hunting this creature after Adam murdered his dearest ones, died, the creature mourned over his loss and felt regret???? The way that he felt the deep cut and disgustingness of his actions, but could not change them??

That shit fucks, man

Sherlock Holmes is trending on Tumblr?!!!! That means it's the perfect time for a reminder that this is starting soon:

Regular emails from your friend Dr John Watson about the adventures of his eccentric detective roommate.

Inspired by Mark Kirkland’s excellent Dracula Daily, Letters from Watson will let you read through the entirety of the Sherlock Holmes short stories over the course of one year via bitesize emails.

Emails will begin January 1st 2023, the date when all Sherlock Holmes stories will be in the public domain in the US for the first time! (Well... ok between you and me if you sign up before that date you'll get a few little extra treats in your inbox over December 2022.)

You can read more and sign up here!

There is also a community discord here!

Nathaniel Hawthorne writing about Herman Melville. Journal entry date: November 12, 1856

“It is strange how he persists — and has persisted ever since I knew him, and probably long before”
