Hey, my name is Phoebe and I totally didn't steal this template (thanks @literachures!). I don’t think I've ever posted an intro post and even if I did it'd be so out of date.

About me: - I’m Phoebe   - I recently turned 24 and I’m in the UK  - I cry a lot, even at Disney movies - I’m pescatarian but I’m hoping to go back to being a vegan soon

Academics:

- In October, I'll be starting a PhD researching the changing cultural reception and reception of John Keats. I get to work at Keats House as part of it and I'm so hyped. I'm very excited to say that it's fully funded! - I did my MA in Eighteenth-Century Literature and Romantacism at Queen Mary. Before I started, I really hated romantacism and now I'm doing a PhD sort of in it. - For my BA, I did English Literature at the University of Portsmouth and I absolutely adored it. I'm still in contact with some of my lecturers and they've been a massive support in my academic journey without my dissertation supervisor and one of my favourite lecturers I wouldn't have got this far. Recently, the university made a incredibly stupid decision based on incorrect information to make half of the staff redundant. I'm absolutely heartbroken for them as I adore everyone there and it's a devastating blow for literary studies at Portsmouth. I'll stop ranting now... - I actually almost failed my English Literature A-Level! I got an E at AS (including a U in my exam!). - I want to work either at a university or museum when I finish my PhD - My research interests: archival practices, afterlives, biographies, memoralisation (especially by friends!), feminisim, cultural reception - I started studying BSL last year but had to quit because work got in the way. I'm hoping I can restart 

Likes/Interests: - theatre (I volunteer as a steward at the Globe!) - tea - visiting museums and cemeteries - experimenting with cooking - long walks - knitting 

About this blog: - whenever I'm posting anything aesthic it's 95% driven by procrastination. I'm incredibly intimidated by everyone whose posts are always beautiful - I'm a really slow reader, especially when I'm not that interested in something - I post a lot in order to have some kind of accountability, it'll be a lot better when I'm no longer shielding and able to go to cofffee shops and libraries (remember those pre-pandemic days?) - I already feel imposter syndrome so badly and I have no clue why I'm here

Other things: - feel free to message me (esp. if you’re a gradblr/phdblr!) or if you stan Keats/Romantic authors

Blogs that inspire me: @brewstudies, @spoonie-studyblr, @earlymodernstudent, @problematicprocrastinator

I feel confident I should have been a rebel angel had the opportunity been mine.
