Anyone have a good example of criticism (literary or, eg, philosophy that takes up literature) that speculates about what a fictional character might have done differently? (The thing we often ask students not to do.)
Yoooooooooo, just published my first book since 2012! READING WITH THE BURNEYS: PATRONAGE, PARATEXT, AND PERFORMANCE is out now with @CUP_LitPerform. It’s a piece of painstaking archival detective work spanning 11yrs, & I’m so happy to see it in the world! https://t.co/GVVflmnQdB
Article titles can be hard.
A narrative title is always a good choice: long titles lead the reader into the essay.
Search algorithms will not find a pithy or punny title, but compelling key-words/phrases will get attention.
Tip: glean parts of the title from your abstract. #AcWri
I'm delighted to announce the OA publication of my (first!) article, 'Absent parents, sick children, and epistolary relationships in England, c.1640-c.1750' in The History of the Family journal online (@hisfam_journal):
