Peter Budrin @peterbudrin.bsky.social · 03/09/2025I’ve just discovered that my short article in The Shandean (vol. 33) is available open access through @livunipress.bsky.social, together with the rest of the rich festschrift issue for the great Peter de Voogd. It looks at how Soviet editors censored Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey. 130
