Where I share all things literary with you.

Literacy, literature, books and knowledge hold a unique and valuable place in the world of reason. Literacy is a symbol of ideas, defiance, acceptance, originality, individuality; it is an inter-disciplinary skill with notions of art, science, philosophy, history, and current affairs.

I blog primarily about my research interests and books that I am reading, but there are other areas of interest outside of my primary research, such as leasehold living that I'd like to talk about. All my blogs will be framed around literature.

Toadstools and Mushrooms gets its name from a line in Charlotte Perkins-Gilman's short story The Yellow Wallpaper.

The narrative explores the themes of mental illness, gender roles, and the constraints faced by Victorian women in a patriarchal society. This will be the subject of my first post.
