Also think that the political world is so overwhelming now that it is hard to focus on scholarship. Have to fight my way back to a book chapter while my brain processes the world & the latest tragedies & outrages, even if I see useful comparisons between past & present. #skystorians #18c

If you're in York on Sunday 21 March about would like to hear a talk about the trouble 18th-century writers had trying to describe York as they found it, rather than as a relic of what it once was, then I have the perfect talk for you...

I wouldn't be surprised if for her next trick Emerald Fennell adapts Samuel Richardson's Clarissa, but tweaks the story and characters to turn Lovelace into a bashful audience friendly loveable rogue who uses safe words and is alright really.

One of my undergraduate students, Oliver Lewis, has a Substack and he's written a piece about Laurence Sterne & Charlotte Lennox, & it's actually left my head spinning - what a remarkable, deeply thoughtful piece of writing:
