Been working on this article since 2016, and it will finally be out in 2021 in an absolutely 🔥🔥🔥 special issue of VLC called "The Wide 19C," alongside work by truly amazing scholars, and even though you can't get it for another 6 months, I'm excited *now*!

@DrRCGreene Ha!

[Jessie BLM Reeder @locaracol]

does anybody know where the phrase "tread lightly on the ashes of the dead" comes from?

[Jessie BLM Reeder @locaracol]

@DrRCGreene This is a very compelling interpretation! I came across it in an 1832 newspaper op-ed about respecting the dead, and the only few references I saw on google were similar. But it often appears in quotes, suggesting it's a common saying or reference. But to what?!

[Jessie BLM Reeder @locaracol]

I am delighted to announce that I have just won a very fiercely-contested argument with my colleagues that occurred entirely in my own mind in the shower.

[Jessie BLM Reeder @locaracol]

@erin_cheslow Found it! Very helpful, thanks!

[Jessie BLM Reeder @locaracol]

Does anyone know enough about 19th century architectural history (US or England) to know whether it would have been common, in say, 1860, for people to sit on their roofs? Or were they too sloped still?

[Jessie BLM Reeder @locaracol]

@erin_cheslow Oh thanks, I will see if I can find the scene!

[Jessie BLM Reeder @locaracol]

I just keep picturing Dick Van Dyke dancing on the rooftops of London -- obviously extremely historically accurate but the wrong era.
