This is going to be a pre-Christmas treat! I’m looking forward to thinking about Romantic creativity with some serious scholars - and bringing a bit of silliness to thinking about Coleridge, Keats, and the Brontë sisters!

Here’s Here Is a Figure! It’s about the lying-down figures that are ubiquitous in contemporary lit. It shows how they remediate apparently-opposed precedents: the dead body, the odalisque, the protester & the patient in bed. It’s about what they’re doing & what we’re asked to do in continuation.

7 years old now and I just discovered it has a whopping 5 reviews on Goodreads, which freaked me out. But in the interest of emphasizing that shelf life is real: it was just this year cited in a CFP for a panel about generous modernisms. 🎁

Reflecting on my failed secondary school teaching career, I comment ruefully, ‘I could either teach a class or control the class; I couldn’t do both’ and realise that this formulation is *true*!
‘Well, that’s everyone,’ my wife replies.
‘But I really wanted to teach!’
