Don't want you to forget what the Vancouver Sun wrote about the one and only Alice Munro once... this "housewife" of course went on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013. Go well, my queen.
NEXT FRIDAY!! International seminar. Brecht de Groote (Ghent) on Pseudotranslation and Mediation in British Romanticism. Response: Laurent Folliot (Sorbonne). Chair: Luisa Cale (Birkbeck). 17 May 2024 at 17.30, Senate House, London. Free admission. Wine reception. ALL WELCOME.
This year's been rough, but it afforded me some extra time to plan out future projects. Pleased to share that my second book, George Crabbe’s Medical Poetics, is now under contract with Cambridge University Press as part of the Elements in Eighteenth-Century Connections Series.
