I'm told that it's been a year since my book on C. S. Lewis came out as an audiobook and they are running a special discount in celebration! Feel free to take a listen if you haven't had a chance already.
I love Shaka's philosophy but the way this is playing out feels like a tragedy.
Do we have enough data to see what might happen with Joshua Clark? I thought, coming into the season, that he was a key piece of the puzzle (and yet he's been riding the bench a lot more than I expected!).
What would happen if I scheduled my life this way?
Bit of a shout out for three @bloomsburylit.bsky.social books publishing this month...first up, 'Wordsworth and English Literary Pilgrimage in the Nineteenth Century', in our 'New Directions in Religion and Literature' series: www.bloomsbury.com/wordsworth-a...
The true inspiration for the Seraphites. #TheLastofUs
A fine S. T. Coleridge letter up for auction at £10,000. A bit depressed. Longing for greatness. Pantisocracy. Infatuated with Mary Evans. Hits all the right notes, really. 😉
Love this idea! Minecraft + Wordsworth. Can't wait to learn more about this and other worlds in LitCraft from Lancaster University.
This looks like:
1) a genuinely nice role for someone
2) Sheffield has resurrected Shelley and is using him as a Research Associate - taking Gothic Studies to the next level!
Glad to see Alister McGrath's review of my book, "The Last Romantic: C. S. Lewis, English Literature, and Modern Theology"!

Me and my book projects
Finally had a chance to listen to @kerriandrewsuk.bsky.social wonderful book 'Wanderers: A History of Women Walking' -- and I was walking the prairie near my home for most of it. Highly recommended!
Oh, there's a video version, too!
Here's one of several recent podcasts & radio interviews I've done on my latest book, The Last Romantic: C. S. Lewis, English Literature, and Modern Theology. Take a listen! www.thinkingchristianpodcast.com/jeffrey-barb...
Pleased to see this recent review of my latest book, The Last Romantic on C. S. Lewis.
Friends, I'm excited to share that my new book on C. S. Lewis is now available on Amazon and other outlets. It's already topping a number of the Amazon category lists. Unexpected but exciting news! I hope it helps readers to see Lewis in a new light! www.amazon.com/Last-Romanti...
Check out the fun interview I did with Beth Felker Jones about my new book on C. S. Lewis!
Start 2025 right by listening tomorrow at 10am to Woman’s Hour for a special episode dedicated to walking. You’ll hear me on the show alongside a number of other women talking about why walking matters. Hope you enjoy.

"Thank goodness I didn't get sick during term, because there are no substitute instructors. Better that I get sick on my holiday time".

Thanks, Beth! Love to see the book (in pre-release) getting in the hands of readers already!

This is worth reading, friends of literature, readers, teachers, all. You don’t have to agree to cherish the spirit of it. “Does Teaching Literature and Writing Have a Future?” by Phil Christman
Check out @karenswallowprior.bsky.social 's recent Substack post on John Milton and free speech, with a nod to my new book at the end! Thanks, Karen!
This place is rocking! #mubb
Oh, yeah, I know it pretty well. It's truly remarkable how many people associate or know the poem from the song!
It's true.
Can you see me back there? I look like I'm waving.
I hear mention of this song *all* the time. 🤣 I'm thinking of working it in next week as part of a study of artistic reception, etc.
The release of my new book on C. S. Lewis, "The Last Romantic," is still a little over a month away, so I guess I now have something to aim for! 😉
