Ep. 680: Cranford | Chapter 2

Book talk begins at 6:13.

This week’s chapter is a sobering reminder that small towns sometimes carry the heaviest stories.

Also, we get another battle over Dickens vs. Johnson (yep, that again).

---------------------------------------------------------------

• 02:40 - ME/CFS info: Listen to “The Blog” (4 min vs 19 min on “The Gist—yes, he titled them in reverse). This is one of the Long-Covid papers we’ve been waiting for. PEM—post-exertional malaise is “feeling tired/sore a day after a workout” on crack.

• PEM pain and brain fog can last up to two weeks after exertion…The Rank Study he mentions is the group saying “duh m’dude. If you’ve been in bed for a year yer gonna be tired after a workouta. You gotta get back on your exercise routine and qitcherbellyaching” —a theory that’s led to permanent patient paralysis. The other study is big because it indicates that the damage is mitochondrial, not systematic (i.e., we’re getting plenty of blood to our muscles. The muscles just can’t do anything WITH that oxygen)

• —and podcast episode from the People who created the Visible app that has saved my life (MakeVisible.com)

• 11:20 - Who’s the narrator?!

• 12:26 - Bakehouses

• 14:20 - Flints haberdashery in London (UPDATE - apparently NOT a real place! But the meaning is the same.)

• 15:15 - Biblical DebORah (the pronunciation that should be used ahem) read about her in Judges 4:4.

• 15:36 - “Strong minded” women - yeah, that was an insult. Kinda like “She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted…” when Elizabeth Warren tried to read a letter from Coretta Scott King into the Congressional Record in February 2017. See Mary Wollstonecraft on masculine women on CraftLit’s Weekly Constitutional playlist

• 17:50 - Sampler from Irish museum - this is not the one I remembered (they haven’t digitised their entire collection) but it DOES have a shocking poem in it—by a 14 year old girl.

• 18:50 - Just a heads up: Gaskell sort of doesn’t really quote things accurately—at this time code she’s sort of quoting Hamlet, she also makes up words like Brunonian

• 20:02 - Sort of quoting Alexander Pope “Imitations of Horace” 1733

• 20:17 - Sort of quoting/sub-referencing Spenser’s “The Faerie Queene” IV:3;32, 1596

• 20:55 - Nasty cruel Railroads. Yup.

• 22:17 - The guy who got a railroad spike through his head - Phineas Gage (podcast dispelling myths with SCIENCE!)

• 23:13 - Bonnet as helmet

• In fashion in 1820. Not in fashion by the 1840s:

• 24:50 Galignani’s Messenger
