This dress has seen extensive use over the years. Its first sighting was on actress Sheila Raynor as Tabitha Aykroyd in the 1973 mini-series The Brontës of Haworth. In 1978 it was spotted on Pippa Guard as Maggie Tulliver in The Mill on the Floss. The following year it made a very brief appearance on an extra in The Old Curiosity Shop. 1985’s The Pickwick Papers recycled the dress for use on Tamsin Heatley in the role of Mary, and in 1999 Justine Waddell wore the costume as Molly Gibson in Wives and Daughters. In 2007, the gown was worn by Julia Sawalha as Jessie Brown in Cranford, and finally in 2019 on Gemma Whelan as Marian Lister in Gentleman Jack.

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home.

The Pickwick Papers, Charles Dickens

the struggles of hunting down a recording of a radio show that aired in another continent when you were only 10 years old

#why is this so challenging #why are there like no recordings anywhere #i know it's real; enough scholarly articles have cited it #i even found the production house website! #but not the bloody audio #i will even PAY FOR IT #bbc i even found the bloody radio times listings from when it aired on radio 4 i know it exists #i know this is such a silly thing to get stressed about but like- on the flip side it's kind of annoying #people are saving films and books and songs out the wazoo but i want to save radio dramas too #and this one is (surprisingly) seemingly nowhere to be found #the pickwick papers #bbc radio #classic serial: the pickwick papers #bbc radio 4 #2004 #I'm a fully grown adult spending a restless night trying to hunt down something that may no longer exist

huge news: i was reading the pickwick papers and i encountered one of the example sentences for "zeugma" (highlighted above) from a dictionary of literary terms and literary theory. now to a normal person this is completely insignificant but i read this dictionary as a kid so it's like uhhhhhhh meeting a celebrity sentence at the sentence grocery store.

Because I’d enjoyed Simon Prebble reading Ivanhoe so much (different voices for everyone, wheeeeeeeee), I decided to see what other audiobooks that he reads are available at my library. Turns out there are 70!  Lots of mysteries, some classic fiction, a couple non-fiction sprinkled in.

I decided to get out two books to start with: The Pickwick Papers and The Remains of the Day, both of which have been on my TBR and neither of which I’ve read before.

I’m only partway through chapter 2, but am struck forcibly with three conclusions:

1.  Whoever this stranger is, I thoroughly enjoy him but do NOT trust him; 2.  Whoever this stranger is, I am quite certain that some harm will befall Winkle’s coat, and possibly Tupman’s person; 3.  Whoever this stranger is, he sounds (especially given how Prebble reads him) like the pattern from which Sir Percy Blakeney (as performed by Anthony Andrews, anyway), Bertie Wooster, and Lord Peter Wimsey were later cut.

That #BoxingDay look and feeling and I don’t even drink! 😄

“It wasn't the wine,' murmured Mr. Snodgrass, in a broken voice. 'It was the salmon.' (Somehow or other, it never is the wine, in these cases.)”

I recently read The Pickwick Papers as part of youtuber Books and Things' 'Dickens Along', and then I was reading the Wikipedia article on Mr Pickwick, and:

The French composer Claude Debussy dedicated to this character a humorous piano piece: Hommage à S. Pickwick Esq. P.P.M.P.C.

#i'm not sure i like the piece much but it's cool nonetheless #if anyone wants to join in the readalong it involves reading all of Dickens' published novels over the course of 2 years #in publication order #but there's a shorter list for people who don't want to do all the novels and/or are newer to dickens #mr pickwick #the pickwick papers #charles dickens #dickens along #claude debussy #music #reading
