We had a brilliant time at yesterday's Tea with TLW, as Dr Harriet Thompson told us about telegraphic literature, Lida Thompson, and the fascinating blurred lines that existed around telegraphic communication. Thank you to Harriet, and to all who came and asked brilliant questions!
'if Britain could talk to America, how could it be absurd that the living might talk with the dead?'
Thank you Dr Harriet Thompson for an excellent talk for Transatlantic Literary Women (TLW) this afternoon! Introduced to the interesting history of women working with telegraphy, & a fascinating new author

Such a treat to introduce my Carleton College students to Tom and explore the rich, layered histories of Rotherhithe together. For our Urban Field Studies class the students are producing their own psychogeographies of London on things like birds, folk songs & real estate.
