Sharing link to the Modernist Editing Symposium @buxiduan.bsky.social and Lawrence Jones are organizing in Reading. I blandly titled my talk 'Modernist Editing in Perspective'. Hope what I have to say is more palatable.

How would modern Londoners react to 80% of their city burning down in a firestorm today?
How would they communicate in the chaos their confusion, suspicion and grief?

Now reading. Fascinating to learn of the expert literary criticism readers of Good Housekeeping enjoyed in the 20s, from writers Virginia Woolf, Rose Macaulay, as well as novelist Clemence Dane. And how seriously women's magazines took their role in educating their newly enfranchised readers.

Cover of book 'Clemence Dane and Good Housekeeping' by Stella Deen. Cover features a painting of a woman reading a book on a long sandy beach
