Outing myself as an unrepentant #Bridgerton fan here but new substack reflecting on some of the ~discourse~ about Sophie and Benedict, Regency-era inter-class romances, the literary 'lost heir' trope, and how it's all tied to how we relate money to virtue

I feel like Sophie and therefore the overall love story is undermined by the fact that deep down she is the daughter of a nobleman who was raised to be noble. Like that’s her ticket into the entry of society instead of forcing them to accept her even without the lineage which undermines the whole she’s a maid thing.

Finishing the year on a high - I've signed a contract with Cambridge University Press for my book: Metal and Literary Production in Early Modern England: Labour, Value, Violence

Transforming my PhD into a book while teaching wasn't easy, so I WILL be celebrating every milestone!
