@silkiestmaria Oh that’s so fascinating! I’ve been diving into Miriam Toews’ work again and thinking about the language aspect. I don’t know if you’ve ever read her novels, but you might like them (particularly A Complicated Kindness, Women Talking, All My Puny Sorrows)

@SketchesbyBoze I know we’ve talked about this before but man I love Peter Ackroyd. I also have his translation/retelling of the Canterbury Tales

@MaggieMelchior No, it’s Helen Rappaport’s After the Romanovs. There are some fascinating bits! But I would love a more diverse historical context

Also, I just looked up what constitutes High Victorian, and at least one website defines it as the period between Victoria’s accession and the début of Oscar Wilde’s Salome, which is fascinatingly specific
