Status Updates From Death and the Maidens: Fann...

This is in many ways a model biography: careful, thorough, sympathetic without indulging in adulation. Unfortunately, it's also mostly a crashing bore. Part of the dullness may be inherent to the book's main focus (Fanny Godwin, a rather unimportant cog in a much greater wheel of acquaintance) but part is the author's style. I'll finish this but it's a chore not a pleasure.
