September Round Up

 

It's been a busy September, as autumn appears and a chill enters the air. 

I had a piece in the Spectator Schools supplement, here, on my boarding school memories, and another piece, about going to Lancing and Dorset House, which came out in the Lancing College magazine, Quad.

My Substack has been trundling along, with pieces on Ivy Compton-Burnett, Ovid's Tristia, the economics of writing books, John Lowin (an actor and contemporary of William Shakespeare), and the children's author Susan Price, whom I have recently discovered, having reviewed a reissue of her wonderful The Ghost Drum.

 

Paper certificates, and Ivy Compton-Burnett

 Over on Substack, I've written more about Ivy Compton-Burnett's inimitable, spare,  intriguing work, having read Parents and Children. 

 

And I've also written a piece for The Spectator about the need for physical certificates as rites of passage. 

 

 

More Ivy Compton-Burnett

 I've written about More Women than Men by Ivy Compton-Burnett over on Substack.

A Writer's Diary

 

I've written a little diary over on my Substack.
