Can’t wait for this!!

I have a Keywords essay on "Exhaustion" coming out with CLCWeb. My book, Probable Exhaustion, offers a literary account of exhaustion as specter of progress discourse in terms of physiological labor, finite resources, and British cycle of accumulation (forthcoming from Cornell UP, 2027)

hoping that's not the case!! 💜

looking like my time in academia finally coming to an end, with no job lined up beyond May. If you're interested in my early attempt to think through a new project on energy, riots, and masses, check out new issue of @victorianreview.bsky.social. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

My book, Probable Exhaustion, posits that literary texts of the long 19th c help us trace how a conception of progress welded to infinite growth and development is unthinkable outside of the threat of exhaustion. Will be out with @cornellupress.bsky.social Jan 15, 2027

Thanks, Tim! A longer (potential chapter of a new project) version engages more with your work in terms of energy discourse, Morant Bay, Carlyle and Eliot. Would love to chat more down the line

I noted today that Mike Tondre draws a connection to founding of Victorian Studies journal and Suez crisis in a special issue on "Victorian Energies" in @victorianreview.bsky.social (bsky.app/profile/chid...) My article in the issue takes up *Felix Holt* and cites your terrific chapter on the novel

Thinking, for no particular reason, of Michael Tondre's excellent account of Victorian/Energy Studies, ruminating on relation between the founding of *Victorian Studies* journal and Suez Crisis

New! A thrilling special issue on "Post-Carbon Victorian Studies" edited by Michael Tondre. A fantastic forum on "Victorian Breeds and Breeding" edited by Kristen Guest and Ronja Frank. Reviews of new books on Conrad, A Brontë, Carroll, and others! Read us on Project Muse muse.jhu.edu/issue/56547
