My book *Paper Monsters: Persona and Literary Culture in Elizabethan England* is now out with @PennPress—and, like Penn’s whole list, it’s 50% off through the end of June with code SUMMER19. upenn.edu/pennpress/book…

@n_hold For staff mine spits out a number when they hire you and then everyone gets the same % raises so the inequities just grow over time. I make less than both the people hired after me into the same job 🙃 so uhh i agree

For @readliberties, I wrote about what "affirmative instrumentality" misses: libertiesjournal.com/articles/curri…

Day 1 of gaslighting my family into thinking there’s a new New York Times word game @NYTGames

Oh, no, it’s happening. “Classical Hollywood, American Modernism: A Literary History of the Studio System,” coming from @CambridgeUP early next year

"The absorption of new reading practices developed by humanist intellectuals had profound effects on religious reform, sparking a transition from . . . sacramental to textual forms of participation." Review by @SM_Fallon: doi.org/10.1086/726068

@jessicagross Great book--THE CORNER THAT HELD THEM is incredible too.

@RankinMccabe @MiltonSymposium @SbDobranski Thank you!

"Hunter’s lucid and innovative book begins from the assumption that play scripts were mined by audiences and readers for examples of eloquence." @lisahopkinsshu reviews @Matt_M_Hunter's new book: doi.org/10.1086/724734

@nathankhensley Don't know about the counterfactual, but the value of Harvard in this article seems clear. If even their students are avoiding English, the issue isn't reducible money/career options.

It's funny the way anti-elitism from Ivy and para-Ivy faculty ends up insisting on the difference it pretends to reject. "What could ~Harvard~ have to do with regional publics?" is an exhausting routine.

Very, very, very excited to announce @nashe_thomas' podcast series, The Precarious World of Thomas Nashe, is going live from Monday 6 Feb. You can listen to the trailer, and subscribe to the series, at precariousworld.podbean.com. ->

This whole episode--from the circulation of a false allegation for clout to the non-apology smothered in a sense that the right politics permit malicious lies--is incredibly dispiriting.

A lot's been happening on the Nashe project and its spinoff, 'Penniless?'. Here's a summary of what the team have been up to: look out for more coming soon. @a.cornish/penniless-thomas-nashe-and-precarity-in-historical-perspective-f5b324fed80b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@a.cornish/pen…

i wrote about the english institute, the dimming of academic “stars,” and the humanities’ stubborn belief in the power of words to save us, for @ChronicleReview chronicle.com/article/the-en…

On whether the language of "calling" is necessarily a mystification, by way of Weber and Wendy Brown. Plus recs from @Parapraxis_Mag, @aeonmag, and @MarginaliaROB's interview with Lorraine Daston. chronicle.com/newsletter/the…
