Old and new media, teaching, libraries.

Congrats to @mjvechinski on his new book, a study of magazine fiction transformed into linked story collections. Pretty much the missing link between #periodicalstudies and #bookhistory, right? (And thanks Matthew for the lovely copy! and for using our John Barth collection!)

Come and present @textualstudies instead! We are not discipline-ist like that. Our deadline for the 2021 virtual conference "Reckonings, Recoveries, and Transitions" is 2/8. https://t.co/ADzLJMo6vy

Hmmm along those lines... how about a triune merger of Bret Harte, Hart Crane, and Stephen Crane?

I’m sure the gods of literature are going to smite me now

[Gabrielle Dean @gabrielledean]

Please @CarlosLozadaWP donate the books (esp the marked-up copies), your notes, drafts and mss to a deserving library! Perhaps @librarycongress?

[Carlos Lozada @CarlosNYT]

Farewell, Trump books, 2016-2020. Don’t know when I’ll open you up again.

@melissaterras Might be something to post to @museweb if you haven't already

I sure hope some enterprising fine press printer connects w @TheAmandaGorman to make a broadside of “The Hill We Climb.” A hardback version is nice but a broadside in the spirit of Dudley Randall’s Detroit Broadside Press would be so right & so beautiful. Maybe @primrosepress?

[Gabrielle Dean @gabrielledean]

I hope while there she connects with @BlackDigitalHum

Willa Cather is well taken care of in the digital realm, but if you are interested in recovery work on an American woman writer and are looking for support, this opportunity is for you. https://t.co/1xMtQdGchB

Word for the day: “sham democracy.” Used in antebellum and CW papers to describe Northern politicians who supported enslavers even after secession. Post CW fear: sham democracy would pardon secessionists and sacrifice newly enfranchised Black people for votes.

Hi. Fixed this for you. You’re welcome!

Should UNIVERSITY BUDGETS ALLOW academic libraries TO preserve material books or FORCE THEM TO discard them? At what cost?
