@MeganLFaragher I actually just got this as an ILL and started reading this week. A foreword responding to intensive criticism and the first chapter about witches…I’m so intrigued already!

Returning to this for next semester and I’ve accidentally on purpose only assigned women writers so far

[Ally Nick @allywally42]

putting together a syllabus that pairs modernist short stories (broadly defined and trying to get away from just the canon) with short excerpts of theory or critical frameworks. Fellow modernist scholars have any pairing suggestions or favorite short stories you teach?

[Ally Nick @allywally42]

@MeganLFaragher Looks so good! Excited to read!

[Ally Nick @allywally42]

@SpaceBetweenJ Totally understand! Thankful for the reading groups etc., and I’ll apply again in 2025.

@AimeeArmande Congrats! Can’t wait to read!

I had to leave the first session early sadly but am thankful to the panelist’s for sharing their experiences. Especially inspiring to hear about the writing and research that can happen from a variety of careers. Can’t wait for more difficult conversations this week and next!

@elisajoy18 Audiobooks! Sometimes I would just listen while also reading to keep me going. I enjoyed listening to podcast episodes on authors and books if there happened to be some out there. Also talking to people or voice memos helped with making connections.

[Ally Nick @allywally42]

@Sir__Ian ooh I really want to read Ivy Compton-Burnett—suggestions on what to read first??

[Ally Nick @allywally42]

Great read! I’ve been working on the conclusion of my diss and I think I feel enthusiastic about it because there’s (a bit) more room for creativity and the personal. I hope this is where lit studies is headed! I wish there had been more practice of this kind of writing in my PhD
