R.I.P. Dame Maggie 😞😭💔💖🕊️✨

The very definition of fierce. I LOVED her in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Please go seek and watch. It's the movie she won an Oscar for (in 1970...).

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark - Book Review

This is a superb book, probably Muriel Spark’s most famous, set in and around The Marcia Blaine school in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Jean Brodie is a teacher who exerts a powerful influence over her pupils, the creme de la creme, as she educates them in a way that’s not on the curriculum of this school in the 1930s. The story concentrates on six particular girls who are taught by Jean…

When I read news of her passing a few moments ago, the first word out of my mouth was “NO.” And I didn’t expect this to affect me so.

We lost another great. Rest well, Professor.

Every list of Dark Academia fiction that doesn’t begin with Muriel Spark’s The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is embarrassing for those lists. God this rules. Spark has this way of recreating exactly the sorts of odd little things that are enchanting to twelve-year-old girls, in the sections in which the Brodie Set are twelve, that I could have read forever. And yet! Wouldn't give up their transformations into variously clever and dull young adults for anything. Incredible stuff (character writing).

In most cases I recommend watching film adaptations first because then the book becomes like an extended edition, and you can enjoy both as their own work of art instead of regretting the film not being the extended edition. But in this case I actually want to reverse that, as you can spend the (slim) novel losing your mind imagining Miss Brodie played by young Maggie Smith, and it will preserve the story’s insane reveals for novel form, where I think they may be most powerful, whereas the more chronologically arranged movie might actually have another interesting layer added to it if you watch already knowing what you know — to be determined upon the event of me rewatching it at some point.
