If you were to do write about a close reading to show undergrads how to do *one* thing well, what would you choose?
Okay this is not a clean break from close reading promo because, as @dan-sinnamon.bsky.social can attest, I kept wondering which contributor would make me jealous by choosing Cameron. But because everyone has their own key figures, none did!?

What a treat to see my friend @amyfuller.bsky.social at the launch of the major new BBC Arts documentary series, 'Civilisations: Rise and Fall', which is coming to BBC2 later this month. It's all still thoroughly embargoed, but apparently we're now allowed to officially admit that we're in it!
