'In June, when the jewel climbs up highest in the year into the heavens, brightest of stars... At that time the fairest of lights likes to gaze longer upon the earth, to move more slowly across the meadows.' Anglo-Saxon writers on the summer solstice: aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2014/06/se-len…

Here's my new post, on grief and care, and the ways our emotions are reflected back by the past. Read with care; this post discusses foetal abnormality. lucyallengoss.substack.com/p/grief-care-a….

Ooh, this looks fantastic!

Here's my new post- Inkles and Angels and Immateriality. It's about the smock that might be a 'she-angel' in the wonderful textile language of A Winter's Tale. lucyallengoss.substack.com/p/inkles-and-a….

Here's my thoughts on today's 'Chaucer discovery,' and on which kinds of textual (or textile) accuracies we treat as important - and which kinds we don't. Hint: it does have to do with gender. Are you surprised? lucyallengoss.substack.com/p/another-chau…

I wrote about Andy Goldsworthy's wonderful 'Hanging Stones', the dead in the landscape, and generative misinterpretations of what we see. Hope you like it! lucyallengoss.substack.com/p/missed-memor…

Should you grieve a pregnancy loss at 14 days, or is that peak twenty-first-century snowflake behaviour? The answer from history might surprise you. lucyallengoss.substack.com/p/she-had-a-mi…

There is nothing progressive about mothers encouraging their daughters to put male feelings before their own. It's as old as the hills, done for lots of reasons (including the idea this keeps them safer than women who say no), but it's so grim to see it presented as modern

New post: on the policing of women's emotions around IVF (which is part of the wider policing of women's emotions in medicine, esp. reproductive medicine, more generally). lucyallengoss.substack.com/p/bruising-ivf…
