Geschichte des Eiskonsums: »Goethe war ein Leckermäulchen«
Eis war ein Luxusgut, das Könige schleckten. Wie wurde es zur Speise, die wir heute kennen? Der Historiker Heiner Stahl sagt: Ein deutscher Dichter war nicht unbeteiligt.

A big thank you to @profchander.bsky.social for including my essay on “ Disability & Race” in a vol much needed in the ‘80s, when I was an undergrad. Thanks, too, to St Hugh’s Oxford, for letting me air my work as the Lady Ademola lecture. Lady Ademola is an inspiration.
The front cover of The Cambridge Companion to Romanticism & Race, edited by Manu Chander. The cover picture is of Kehinde Wiley’s Prelude. In the art work a Black youth in a long overcoat is viewed from behind, and replaces the central figure in Caspar David Friedrich’s famous painting of a solitary figure looking out across misty mountain tops.The first page of chapter 6, Disability & Race by Essaka Joshua

If you want to find out about the first German translation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the subject of translating disability, my chapter on this has just been published in the book Narrative Universes of Disability. It includes a great image of Frankenstein's creature reading Werther.
The image shows a blue book with the title Narrative Universes of Disability: Global Perspectives, edited by Someshwar Sati, Shilpa Das and Banibrata Mahanta. The publisher is Springer.
