Victorian sensation fiction

not the classics (though I love those too), the stuff that was demonized because young women enjoyed it and the stories were emotionally exciting and delightfully implausible like East Lynne by Ellen Wood jealousy! love! murder and mystery! details about everyone’s outfits! 💅

TIME-TRAVEL/CROSS-DIMENSIONAL LOVE STORIES OR FRIENDSHIPS

• the two characters are from different time periods/timelines • one of them is a ghost • one of them is supposed to be fictional but is somehow real I want to build a master list of content like this but some favorite examples so far include: • Somewhere in Time (1980) • The Lake House (2006) • Love Across Time (2024) • any of those books/movies where a modern-day woman gets sucked into a regency era novel/time period and falls for a Mr Darcy archetype • Casper • Outlander (sorta, I have a soapbox about this series but I do love the premise)

Graduating with a b.a. in english

bc it’s what I originally wanted when I first went to college at 17 but I was scared to make writing my job and got a B.S. in Nutrition instead lol Now the goal is an eventual PhD in Victorian Literature but I’m just happy to have made it through this part at 32! Stacked is everything I read in my English courses—barely pictured are the 5 stuffed accordion folders of other reading materials under my chair haha
