it's weird to me when people don't see fictionalized depictions of various historical figures as fascinating, rather than An Insult. this is the second life of that figure, regardless of accuracy. isn't it almost equally important how we have engaged culturally with their memory?
@FernRiddell Hi! I write on Victorian artists as celebrities. In particular, how they used the accelerating medium of photography as a tool to enter the public consciousness & self-promote. My thesis covered 1860-1914, but wider expertise covers long 19c photo theory/ celebrity studies
This is a really cool, all-new Engagement role on my team! Please share it with anyone interested in working in culture & heritage.
I'm happy to chat bc there's some overlap with my job.

“I’m in my ____ era”? I’m so sorry, I don’t readily subscribe to artificial periodization that excises historical events from their broader stream of progression.
Huge news!!! I am beyond excited to have a story in And One Day We Will Die.
As an NMH fan and teller of eerie tales, this is a dream of a project. I'm so grateful to @pbarb and @HungryShadow1 for giving my work a home.
Can't wait to share it with everyone in November!
