I have an article out in the newest issue of the Philological Quarterly! It discusses Habermas‘ idea of the public sphere and women talking politics at home in the late-nineteenth century ✨

How long would your commute take in 1680? Mine would be about a day and a half. @camunicampop.bsky.social has a brilliant tool for calculating travel times in Roman, 1680, 1830, 1911 and 2024. 🗃️ www.travelintimes.org/journey/52.2...
