Welcome to Literary Likes. This is a space where I will indulge my love of reading. I am a semi-retired lecturer and used to teach English and American Literature at a University. I still do a little teaching and run a Literature class at a local community centre. I have also written a number of blog posts for Wordsworth Editions, which I will link to.

My intention is to continue writing about books I am interested in. I also plan to write up some of my past lectures into blog posts.

I am particularly interested in Victorian and Edwardian fiction, including gothic and seem to have developed a bit of an obsession with Mary Elizabeth Braddon. I also enjoy reading Golden Age detective fiction.

Please stop by as I would love to hear your comments and if you subscribe you will be notified of any new posts.
