I’ve received a variety of Moby-Dick themed gifts over the years, but this is the first time I’ve ever found a hand-painted oar left anonymously outside my office…

#18thc and Novel people, what work of secondary criticism or work of novel theory would you pair with Eliza Haywood's Fantomina? (this for a hastily pulled together grad seminar, not necessarily populated by people with an interest in the period, but definitely interested in the genre). Thank you!

When we were 14, my friends decided to watch 24 straight hours of movies. We have repeated the tradition every year since. I’m about to head to the 26th Moviefest—the 26th straight year of watching 24 hours of movies with these dorks. Here’s to clinging to ridiculous friendship rituals!

Look at the great poster the U of Connecticut made for me--incorporating the witty trade card of Elizabeth Griffin, mid #18thc London map & printseller. Immodest of me--but I believe my talk (3/26, 4pm) will be live-streamed, so pls let me know, farflung Bsky pals, if you'd like more info'.

Papyromania: Women, Books, and Scraps in the Long Eighteenth century./ Deidre Shauna Lynch (etc.) / March 26, 4 p.m., UConn Humanities Institute. The central image, the trade card from c. 1750, is a trompe l'oil image of an untidy pile of comic portrait prints and printed maps, with Griffin's trade card--identifying the location of her shop-- positioned in the centre.

A person is standing in front of greenery. She is wearing pink and red clothes. She is carrying a banner on a stick that says the mountain is with us. She is also holding a lathe wood-and-paper model of a Curlew, a wading bird with a long thin beak. White clouds have been drawn over her face and other areas of the picture
