On 25 September 1066, Harold Godwineson defeated Harald, king of Norway, and his own brother Tostig in battle at Stamford Bridge. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle says it was the second major battle in five days - and another was looming. Within weeks, Harold would die at Hastings.
Not that it appears in the novel....
29 years ago today, #PrideAndPrejudice first introduced us to Colin Firth as Mr Darcy and we'll be forever grateful to that series for THIS SCENE.
Remarkable. Southey and arrogance never far apart.

This is the desk that Jane Austen wrote many of her masterpieces, including Pride and Prejudice. On this tiny 12 inch desk. All you need is a pen, paper, a good idea and time. You can write a novel. #writers ##amwriting #janeausten

On this day in 1959, the Dave Brubeck Quartet released their single βTake Fiveβ!

I'm writing today about kennings in Old English. Essentially these are two word-metaphors that were used instead of concrete nouns, and they are exquisite. A ship was a 'wave-horse', the sea was a 'whale-road', the mind was a 'thought-chamber', and the sun was a 'sky-candle'.
