Friends, Romantic Circles didn't delete anything, but we haven't fully migrated the millions (!) of pages contained on the old RC website. As we work on that, you can access archived versions of the site through the Library of Congress.

Hey everyone, I direct Romantic Circles now! Look at our brand new site at romantic-circles.org/home

This is the time of year I long for the Scantron Life.

@seeshespeak teach me, please.

Guys, I think I’m getting better about not freaking out about stuff that isn’t worth freaking out about

Elated "Of 'Combustion, blast, vapour and cloud" is out in the world & available for free from Essays in #Romanticism. Was a joy to write when I got to Tempe, working to build new tools for #ecocriticism from Art & Architectural Hx my first weekends in AZ liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/10.3828/ei…

okay I'm trying again.

@seeshespeak please go to the weird cemetery/park that used to be a quarry while you’re there!

The case for travel: you realize that John Lennon grew up in a house with Mackintosh-inspired rosette windows, located on a perfectly lovely street in Liverpool

@JSRichman VALIS, since someone already suggested Gold Fame Citrus.

@palmcanoe1 @JSRichman I came here to say this!

@JSRichman Gold Fame Citrus - Claire Vaye Watkins

@JSRichman @mountain_goats @superkash mean!

look I will always write and play the good rocking tunes but if there’s a grad department that wants to help me get that PhD in Lit with a focus on the 18th c. novel, do holler

@JSRichman @jasoninmia same.

Who was your “gateway author”? What writer made you want to study your period of specialization? For me, it was Daniel Defoe. I loved his one-thing-after-another abundance. He had so many ideas that he just wrote and wrote, without much care for polish.

@gamermichael @KLeuner @DevenParker @JSRichman @paulyoungquist yay for both of you!

quarantine isn't the same isolation. quarantine just pretty much means doing what you were supposed to be doing anyway except for real this time, and for two weeks.

@BenRobertson @joshshepperd remember how there used to be shows?

@profchander now see this? this is why you win twitter.

The final papers are really good. The blogged meta commentary is also really good. I am happy. Tired of grading, yes. But I feel useful.

... with a critical conversation already streaming along. They join, in other words, the conversation with evidence they already wrote. Like, there's NO WAY they can allow the sources to control the argument because they've already done the analysis before they look anything up.

full disclosure: I've been teaching and/or grading for 13 hours, which is A LOT. but you know, teaching a 3-week semester has its up sides. (money, first off.) but wow, reading both public blog posts and academic papers has been really fun.
