@ThatJBF I am working on establishing an open sourced online venue where folks can share remote teaching activities for lit and writing courses. Have any to share?

[Rebecca Harding Davis Society @DavisSociety]

@ARoseCasey @KleinUla @v21 Can I share if credit you?

I'm teaching The Dark Side of American Literature this spring. I think Davis's "Life in the Iron-Mills" has enough gothic elements to add to my syllabus. I love this story & Davis's work because it inter- and intra-connects across so many sub-fields of study! ❤

While the fam enjoys a kids’ birthday party, I’m having a rollicking Friday night proofing an article about Rebecca Harding Davis for Lit & Belief. Can Christianity & naturalism coexist? I think so and argue Davis sees caritas as the answer to the tension in this worldview.

I'm teaching Emerson today in my American lit survey, and I am delighted anew by Christopher Cranch's hilarious and froggy drawing of the transparent eyeball.

@RomancingNope @Chris_Bishop Something very similar happened to me, except the professor (who had gushed over my first story) said that the story I had written was just "so unbelievable that it was unreadable." The story was completely autobiographical and completely true. It cut to the bone.

About me! 😺
I was born on July 3, 1860, in Hartford, Connecticut.
Published my best-known short story "The Yellow Wall-Paper" in 1892. Along with writing books, I established a magazine called The Forerunner, which was published from 1909 to 1916.

For anyone including disability, labor, class, or gendered roles this semester, consider adding "Life in the Iron-Mills" to your syllabus this fall!
