@Meta do you want people to use your platform? I have done so with enthusiasm and always within guidelines. Now you suspended my account for what a hacker posted on my account. It is over 30 days since I appealed and I have heard nothing. – at Grimston, England

My great great uncle William Smith Williams must have felt excited. He had other thoughts on his mind: his paper On Lithography which he was to deliver at the @theRSAorg in December 1847. williamsmithwilliams.co.uk/2… – at West Midlands, England

Happy birthday to a book that, to a teenaged me, felt like a flare. (I love Jane - but Bertha, Bertha 💔) #JaneEyre
(A tip of the cap, too, to William Smith Williams - without whom there'd have been no such book.) @WSWilliams1 #CharlotteBrontesDevotee @BronteParsonage

Who was the mother of all Brontës? Read #TheMotherOfTheBrontës on #lockdown #kindle to find out. This lovely animation is by my friend, artist Eve Blackwood @ArtyEve inspired by the profile portrait of Maria @BronteParsonage
And yes, there is a chapter called Mothering Heights.

I enjoyed this illuminating biography of Charlotte Brontë’s publisher & friend William Smith Williams. Philip Hamlyn Williams @WSWilliams1 presents his great, great uncle as an erudite, liberal & likeable man at the heart of the 19th-century book world. Fascinating.
