Congrats to my collaborator Alison Stone on her "Women on Philosophy of Art," featuring Anna Barbauld, Harriet Martineau, Anna Jameson, Frances Power Cobbe, Emilia Dilke, and Vernon Lee. Just out from OUP. More evidence of #womeninphilosophy evident as soon as we look!

May I be so bold as to submit myself? "Vernon Lee: Art Lover" appeared in ELH this past spring. I'm working on another!
Although you wouldn’t know it from my icy abstract, this essay features Vernon Lee in her most heartbreaking and hilarious moments. Much thanks to ELH and Sylvia Cutler for seeing it into print.
