Today’s the day! It’s all coming together very nicely, but there’s still time to submit an abstract to us - do take a look at our CFP! (we thought about dialling down the exclamation marks in this post but it’s so very Corelli!).

Amazing time today at @UniofHertshe Festival of Ideas! Re-connected with @UHLiterature staff who nurtured me through my Masters (@hughes_rowland), & was inspired by female comedy icon @HelenLederer - especially as I was once an anonymous reviewer for her amazing UH @CWIPprize!

In #NoMowMay are your wildflowers thriving like Prince Hal?
And so the prince obscured his contemplation
Under the veil of wildness; which, no doubt,
Grew like the summer grass, fastest by night,
Henry V (1. 1)
Conference friends! In case you missed this over the weekend, Jo’s initial discoveries of Marie Corelli as ‘Rosalind’ have been published, open access. They formed part of the paper jointly presented with @DrSarahParker in our #Corelli100 panel on readerships and form. Enjoy! 😊

Loving these replies by @MarieCorelli - so characteristic of Corelli's sparkling wit. On a serious note, incredible centenary conference organized yesterday @Corelli100. I learnt SO very much, all in a day!

MacLeod is showing us copies of the publication of the story and discussing its different context within the pages of Nash’s and Hearst’s magazines. She is enthralling us with explanations of illustrations and how the story is interpreted differently between US and UK issues.
We are delighted to welcome our keynote speaker, Dr Kirsten MacLeod of @NCL_English to #Corelli100. The doors to Mason Croft have been opened to the public and everyone is excited to hear her paper, and brand new work on “Mass-Market Marie: Corelli and the Hearst Magazine Empire”
What a fantastic session! We’ve loved every minute. We wish to thank alll our wonderful #Corelli100 chairs and presenters for their contributions to the day. We’re off now for afternoon tea (it’s what Marie would have wanted!) before settling down for the keynote speech at 5pm.
Neil considers ‘Ardath’ and its references to apocryphal text, Esdras, as Corelli engaging with ‘marginalised truth from the past’, seeing its apocalyptic content as apt for a late c19th readership. Neil says Corelli, as literary outsider, positions her own novels as apocryphal.
Last but, most certainly, not least, is @ProfNeilH , joining us early morning, his time, from California State University, Long Beach @CSULB with his paper on ‘Corelli, Apocrypha, Apocalypse’. #Corelli100
Alexander says ‘Barabbas theorises and cultivates the capacity to “dream by day” to encourage its readers to overcome failures of imagination’, implying the aesthetics of Corelli’s writing on dreaming and dreams (within the titular dream) enables the ‘pursuit of ultimate reality’
The third paper in this panel, is by Alexander Lynch of @TrinityCollege Cambridge. Alex is presenting '"His dreamful face drooped downward": Dreaming of Christ in Corelli's Barabbas’. #Corelli100
