On Thursday, 1 May 2025 from 5:15pm to 6:30pm, join University of St. Andrews in hosting Nicolle Jordan for a talk on Anne Finch's poetry!

Known for her defense of women's education and artistic agency, Finch approaches this genre in a way that seemingly amounts to a celebration of patriarchy. Dissonance thus arises between her proto-feminism and her deference to male supremacy, a disposition informed in turn by her Jacobite affiliation. Landscape offers a compelling heuristic with which to interpret these discordant aspects of Finch's identity.

Hosted by the University of York, this talk centres on the property ownership of Montagu, who was born in York at Treasurer’s House. It draws from the final chapter of Nicolle Jordan’s book Prolific Ground: Landscape and British Women’s Writing, 1690-1790, which assesses the ‘Queen of the Bluestockings’ in relation to her landowning practices.

Montagu’s status as a prolific letter writer, coal magnate, and extremely wealthy landowner, who undertook vast estate improvements in collaboration with Capability Brown, makes her a unique illustration of how landscape and women’s independence are inextricably linked in the eighteenth century.

We are honored to announce the publication of BLACK CALIFORNIA GOLD, poems by Wendy M. Thompson. Thompson is descended from two communities of migrants to California’s Bay Area—post-1965 Chinese immigrants and Black southerners of the Second Great Migration—whose presence has permanently transformed the region.

In this arresting debut collection, Thompson traces the past and present of the Bay Area, exploring themes of family, migration, girlhood, and identity against a backdrop of urban redevelopment, advanced gentrification, and the erasure of Black communities. Her poems map a region where race, class, and language are can divide communities, while also celebrating the Black residents of the Bay Area who have struggled to sustain home and hope.

"Thompson's beautiful and insightful Black California Gold offers an archive of the less understood and sparsely engaged history of Black and Asian California through the lens of self-making, labor, and rights. ~Bettina Judd
