Maciej Slomczynski spent 12 years translating Ulysses into Polish. He supported himself by writing detective novels as Joe Alex. Published in 1969, his Ulysses sold out instantly. It has an appealing feature: there's a Homeric bow on the cover; inside it’s drawn.

🌙 'Somewhere in the Body' based on Lucia Joyce and Finnegans Wake by James Joyce, continues @limerickgallery as part of @lightmovesfest until Jan 28, 2024. Featuring VO by @FinnFordham 📽️ ℹ️gallery.limerick.ie/ScreenDance.ht… 📷 Maurice Gunning, LMF, and LCAG. Funded by @artscouncil_ie
Approved agricultural pesticides are significantly harming bumble bees, with colonies growing less and producing fewer offspring, according to five-year European-wide research led by Professor Mark Brown @sphaerularia from @RHULBioSci @RoyalHolloway royalholloway.ac.uk/about-us/news/…
Wonderful reading by @paullynchwriter from the most cosmic episode of Ulysses, plunging towards the constellation of Hercules.

Morning swim done at the beautiful Forty Foot in Sandycove 🇮🇪 with the James Joyce tower in the background. Great way to start the day. Thanks to my friends at An Post for making it happen.
HCE on the BBC radio hour @FinnFordham ‘All of language, all of history, all of relationships focused on a family of publicans into relating to people all around the world’ Plus a fantastic 100 letter thunderword 🌀👏👏👏

In 1983 Tim Ahern published Finnegans Wake, Chapter One, The Illness Traited Colossick Edition, an imaginative and idiosyncratic illumination of Joyce’s work. In 2011 he followed up with a more ambitious Final Chapter, which included a foreword by @FinnFordham.
It was lovely to welcome our @ClassicsRHUL first-years and to start learning their first names (the latter is a seriously daunting task!). "Classics", they say, "is cool" and I couldn't agree more. @lizgloyn (Photos from our packed Classics social) #Classics

A 'UEA scraps creative writing' story is taking hold. That's not what's happening. UEA Humanities are facing redundancies across many areas that feed a brilliant writing course (including Literature). That's *worse* in the long term because it's a culture / a mindset / a library.
Dr Daniel Beer, head of the History department, explains why it is important to study history. Listen to the full round-table discussion ‘Why History Matters: Russia's War Against Ukraine’ on our YouTube channel! youtu.be/0ma1Id_zgxk #RoyalHolloway #RHUL #History

Sad to hear humanities & social sciences students described as having “quite an easy life” on @BBCr4today … not a description I recognise of students engaging with the world in all kinds of complex ways. Apprenticeships are great; thoughtless binaries destructive.

Some context: in June 1949 at Worcester College, Oxford, Nevill Coghill (1899-1980) co-directed 'The Tempest' with Graham Binns, and a student cast. Coghill’s production has gone down in history due to one particular directorial decision at the close of the play.

@sbslote @FinnFordham @DMulrooney The Germans also use the term this way. 'Britische Inseln' (or 'Britannische Inseln') refers to the archipelago, and always includes Ireland (which used to be called Klein Britannien, probably after Ptolemy).
