I'm writing the forward to a new edition of John Cleland's Fanny Hill, arguably the most important, earliest, and strangest piece of British porn. It's published by @sandtclassics.bsky.social and features a conversation with @stoya.bsky.social. My mother would be so proud.

It's nice to use my Ph.D. training in the long eighteenth century for artistic, capitalist, and low-key anti-fascist good (because don't forget, they're coming for your porn).

Coming in May 2025 from @sandtclassics.bsky.social , @sarahweinman.bsky.social and I introduce Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s wild ride of novel, Lady Audley’s Secret! This much-needed series brings so many lesser read, yet very worthy 19th C novels to readers, and I’m grateful to be a small part of it.
A book cover with a green urn on a maroon background. Underneath, on a cream background reads Lady Audley’s Secret, then Mary Elizabeth Braddon, and then in smaller type “In conversation with Sarah Weinman and Rachel Vorona Cote.”
