Just a quick note to say that Blackwell's sale has begun (online) and it includes Alexandra Harris's brilliant Romantic Moderns at less than half price.
There's a post on the book here and reading that again prompts me to revisit the book and further explore the rich cultural world it describes.
For some reason this remained unread on my shelf for a few years(!) after I had bought it with book tokens. When I finally picked it up what a great and informative read awaited me. It's been a couple of years at least since Alexandra Harris' Weatherlands was published, let's hope she is working on another book, such an interesting author.

I loved this book, which I borrowed from the library. I've now ordered it, so many thanks for the hint. I bet they sell out today, thanks to you!
