ASECS friends, we need each other in these trying times. Less than two weeks to the virtual meeting, with a TaPS reading 3/27, a peek at PAC’s Cato Remixed on 3/28, and great international panels both weekends that will remind you why this work matters more than ever.

The answer to every story about elite college admissions is to make sure every American has access to a low price high quality public education within a reasonable drive of their hometown. The wild thing is we mostly achieved this. Then destroyed it.

This exactly. As a STEM prof, I’ve advised so many STEM majors whose parents said they need to be doctors because they can’t get a job with a humanities degree. The actual job market is telling us a very different story. Humanities majors get all the skills employers say they want.

Last episode of Our Flag Means Death left me grateful for the experience and ready to reread The Undercommons. Higher Ed needs more good pirates.

ECF publishes on theatre too! Read ECF at Project MUSE online: "A Comedian on Tragedy: Colley Cibber’s /Apology/ and /The Rival Queans/," by Vivian L. Davis muse.jhu.edu/article/550612 #18thCentury #C18th #18thC #ReadECF #TheaterStudies A Wayback Wednesday post to 2014.

An 18th-century engraving, a portrait of Colley Cibber. He sits in a chair with his left elbow reading on a side table. He holds a paper in his left hand and a quill in his right hand. He wears a white curly wig on his head and a velvet overcoat with many buttons. A young woman stands on his right side and she has her right hand on the feather quill pen in his hand.

Abstract: While eighteenth-century actor and theatre manager Colley Cibber is most frequently discussed within the context of sentimental comedy, this article addresses the comedian’s writing for and about the tragic stage. The neoclassical establishment consistently argued for the propriety of tragedy; however, actor and manager Cibber in his 1740 autobiography makes a case for the ludic qualities of successful tragic performance which, he insists, produces pleasure not tied to moral improvement. Moreover, Cibber embraces, rather than bemoans, the destabilization of social hierarchies that attends confessed generic hybridity. In an analysis of the comic burlesque The Rival Queans, a parody of Nathaniel Lee’s earlier tragedy The Rival Queens, I show how Cibber’s tragic stage was less concerned with categories of masculinity and femininity than in the sheer fluidity of gender...
