Who is your favourite woman writer from the 1800s? Today, many readers are likely to name Jane Austen, but in the 1880s, a common answer across Europe might well have been E. Marlitt. Find out which female authors reached historical readers ca 1850-1920: brill.com/display/titl... #BookHistory

Passed on a few teaching tips tonight, including one I got indirectly from Bernard Williams. If you can, look everyone in the eye at least once during your talk or lecture. They will worry you might look at them again and are more likely to concentrate harder so they will look attentive if you do.
