Will check it out. Thank you!
Thank you for the suggestions!
Had forgotten about WTWM. Thank you!
Also hoping there’s something out there akin to “Snapshots of Caliban” or “Gertrude Talks Back.” But thus far coming up empty.
What adaptations/appropriations of Midsummer have y’all had success teaching to undergrads (majors or non-majors)? I have at least two literary-cultural interventions for all other Shakespeare plays on my syllabus, but Midsummer has me stumped. What am I missing? (Lots, I’m sure…)
Poster for EmoTrans 3, featuring a goofy bat whose entire torso (?) is a big grinning face and ambiguously gendered people peeking out of holes in the ground adoring it?
Friends! Please join us for the third (!) Early Modern Trans Studies conference, held at Boston University from March 23-25.
Thanks to all our new followers! To find out more about the history of the New Variorum Shakespeare, its arrival at Texas A&M University, and our plans for the future, take a look at this recent news article: artsci.tamu.edu/english/upda...
Last month, at the Michigan #EmoSex conference, I said a few words about the friction between gender and sexuality studies, and also my thoughts about a "trans method." Maybe you'd like to read them, too.
Flawless album. No skips. And when they performed “Deus In Absentia” as part of the Pale Tour Named Death setlist back in 2018, it was magical!
My favorite reads this year
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - didn’t intend to read the book in one sitting, but I did and it wrecked me.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Finished MARTYR! a week or so ago and still thinking about it. One of my favorite reads this year.
Think you might use our digital edition *at all*? Then now is your chance to make sure it works for you as well as possible. Have a play and then press the feedback icon and spend 30 seconds or so letting us know what wasn't so great so we can try and fix it!

Mornings w/ Fran
Hooray! DMing you now.
Friends: I’m hoping to get my paws on an essay published in MILTON STUDIES, but my uni’s subscription is hard-copy only and I’m 100 miles away from campus at the moment. Does anyone have digital institutional access? 🥹🙏
Repost with one of your favorite books you’ve read this year 💙📚
One of my favorites this year, too. Patting myself on the back for raiding your goodreads a few months back. 😏
Thanks for the primer! These days, my social media presence consists almost exclusively of GIF replies, cat pics, and the occasional plea for journal article PDFs when I can’t be bothered to use interlibrary loan. Face-hug at your peril 😸
Fran wants to know who’s a good follow. In the meantime, I have hella following back to do.
Come work with me! LSU English will be doing assistant professor searches this year in Renaissance/Early Modern Literature, 19th C./Victorian Literature, Multiethnic U.S. Literature, and English Education. Due Nov 15 Ads are shared below. (Will share 4th ad when available)
Intentional. They want non-fascist faculty to leave the state to make it easier to implement their fascist policies.
