My review of the two-volume Cambridge History of Atheism has now been published in Global Intellectual History. It's an invaluable resource with an impressive scope, even if I was left wanting more on some fronts! https://t.co/rHM7696j5b

Marie Corelli

Fab to be able to teach with Andrew Radford's EUP edition of Marie Corelli's A Romance of Two Worlds - great for teasing out the complexities of the reception of the novel and how 'The Electric Creed of Christianity' intersects with myriad C19 concerns about faith and identity.

I've suggested that my 'Identity & Belief in Victorian Britain' students take this wonderful tour of Jewish life in late-Victorian London, whether virtually or by taking to the streets of Spitalfields - I highly recommend others do the same! https://t.co/SzxXFfZDJB https://t.co/D51ZYzK5Fc

Sarojini Naidu
Dr Clare StainthorpDr Clare Stainthorp

Today we discussed the presentation of Sarojini Naidu as Hindu poet, both through her poetry in ‘The Golden Threshold’ and Arthur Symons’s exoticising introduction to it, as well as grappling with the relative lack of sources on C19 Hindus practicing their faith in Britain.
