@jshelat1 I know this feeling! Alex Wolloch visited my grad cohort years ago, and his advice was “you gotta read”! (I’ve since found that the time to do said reading can be a problem!)

@JeffreyInsko @joshua_r_eyler @purduefw Hi Joshua - I actually spoke with some folks last night about your presentation/workshop. Sorry I missed it -- sounded valuable as welcome students back next week!

[Andrew Kopec @AndrewJKopec]

@jlevibarnard @JeffreyInsko @MelvilleSociety That’s so awesome - congrats, Jeff!

[Andrew Kopec @AndrewJKopec]

@GhostingDani will check out - thanks!

[initial creeping thought of fall 2022, I guess, brings me to tweet for 1st time in ages to ask for help!] Suggestions for short, engaging essays (topic doesn't matter) to share w/ 1st-year english majors to prompt discussions of voice, rhetoric, org., sentence variety, &c.

@ProffWolff oh good call - I’ve used RD in a similarly themed syllabus for intro to lit students, and they loved it.

Here I am being interviewed on The French History Podcast talking about my book and the history of early professionalized intelligence in France. Have a listen! #spyhistory #twitterstorians https://t.co/U0LUsy8nCQ

congrats to the editors of those new nortons!

dan's interesting thread points to the cleverness of marketing, absolutely. also want to underscore, esp. in light of this week's discourse, choice of editors: bright scholars who are also engaging and accessible. Excited to read!

@raf_walk nice - I will now scour my drafts for “tells the story of” 😀

[Andrew Kopec @AndrewJKopec]

@raf_walk interesting. I remember one of my grad school profs saying that efficient, engaging plot summary sentences are an under-appreciated aspect of lit-crit. She advocated Nina Baym's prose as a model here, although I can't remember if Baym uses "tells the story of. . . "!

thinking about elbows:

Big Thief, speaker wants to “kiss your body up and down other than your elbows/’cause as for your elbows, they’re on their own/Wandering like a rolling stone.”

Walt Whitman, “We two boys together clinging . . . elbows stretching”. . .
