I did not even know 'unputdownable' was an actual word :D But I like it. I have yet to read anything by Radcliffe. I suppose one of the reasons why I've been leaving her books for later is I'm not a huge fan of classic gothic. But I do want to read at least one of her books so I can judge for myself. I really enjoyed the first part on Kauffman and Moser. Well, I do enjoy a good fiction, but history is my true passion, so I appreciate 'articles' like this one. It's so upsetting how women would be regarded as 'secondary players' even when they were major contributors to art and science.
Thank you! There's another wonderful exhibition on at the moment following professional women artists from the sixteenth to twentieth centuries - Now You See Us at Tate Britain. I hope to write about it soon. I think you would find it fascinating. There are works by Kauffman, Moser and countless others. The gallery notes might be available online for you to do a virtual walk round. I will see if I can look them out for you.

This was lovely! Especially interweaving your reading of Clare's poetry with your personal experience: the blackbird...
Thank you so much, it’s really nice to hear you enjoyed it
