wordpress.com/post/classicsa… Our latest encounter introduces the radical publisher and investigative journalist, W.T Stead. His short illustrated versions of classical tales were popular in the nineteenth century with one selling 200,000 copies in four months. He died on the Titanic

A sad day on Wearside yesterday but learn more about the @SunderlandAFC club crest complete with the neoclassical Penshaw Monument built as a miniature Theseion in 1844. For Pericles, read Tony Mowbray and remember Athens wasn't built in a day 🏛 classicsandclassinthenortheast.co.uk/2023/05/17/pen…
Meet Joseph Malaby Dent (1849-1926), born into a Darlington working class family who as a visionary publisher later founded the popular Everyman's Library series @everymanslib which promotes access to classic literature to this day #Classics classicsandclassinthenortheast.co.uk/2023/05/04/jos…
Meet Eugene Aram who taught himself Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldee compiling ground-breaking evidence for the Indo-European roots of Celtic languages. He was also a thief, murderer and committed incest before his hanging in York 👀 @Lynn_Museum classicsandclassinthenortheast.co.uk/2023/04/27/eug…
classicsandclassinthene.wordpress.com/2023/04/27/isa… Meet Isabel Cutter who aged 9 in 1735 found the swanky 4th century silver "Corbridge Lanx" now in the @britishmuseum. We believe her blacksmith father who later sold it for £30 (£8,000 today) to the local goldsmith was royally ripped off. #Classics
classicsandclassinthene.wordpress.com/2023/04/19/bil… Meet Billy Purvis a Scotsman whose classically inspired plays and shenanigans entertained the masses across the north east from Hartlepool to Hexham. John Ritchie's "A Border Fair" is now in the @LaingArtGallery in Newcastle
Meet artist Victor Noble Rainbird (1887-1936) from North Shields whose "Greek Builders" now sits in the @Old_LowLight just a mile from his family home on West Percy Street @edithmayhall @Durham_Classics classicsandclassinthene.wordpress.com/2023/04/19/vic…
Meet John Martin the Northumberland landscape painter whose "The Destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum" (1822) kicked up a volcanic storm. The painting was restored in 2011 after floodwater damage suffered in 1928. #ClassicsTwitter #art @edithmayhall classicsandclassinthene.wordpress.com/2023/04/19/joh…
