I am beyond grateful to BARS for supporting my work on the transatlantic reception of the British early evangelical novel! This award will fund archival research at Penn and Princeton, where I will examine American editions of once best-selling novels and their reception within a republican context.

Happy birthday, Madame D’Arblay, better known as France Burney. Little mouse slow to talk, hypervigilant for good reason, loved carefully until she found a safe person to be reckless with, helicopter parent of a chess fiend, author of complicated love stories with violence & wit Austen didn’t dare.

From the Archives: We know generative AI is in higher education to stay, but can the sector adapt, and keep up with this rapidly maturing technology? And what might colleges stand to gain, or lose, from embracing it? chroni.cl/4rGUh1Q

AI Will Shake Up Higher Ed. Are Colleges Ready?
The technology could be a lifeline. It could also challenge colleges to communicate their value.

"Good apple pies are a considerable part of our domestic happiness." - Jane Austen, Oct. 18, 1815. Happy Pi Day!
Christmas Pie by William Henry Hunt, 1847. A boy, grinning in anticipation, sits at a table with a pie, holding a knife and fork in his hands.

New to Bluesky. I'm looking forward to meeting wonderful new mutuals who delight in 18th-century literature, history, and ideas... and their preservation.
