  1. Today it's 2 new #NonHumanStudies / #animalstudies books with wolves on the cover! 🐺🐺
    Editors Kenneth K. Brandt & Karin M. Danielsson present essays on the nonhuman in literary naturalism, w #AmericanLiterature authors #JackLondon, #Hemingway , #WillaCather #EdithWharton & more

  2. You know when you reread a book and the main character is doing something awful and you just wish she would do something different than what you know she is going to do? Well, that was me rereading #EdithWharton's #HouseOfMirth. To riff on the end of #Melville's #Bartleby: Ah Lily!, Ah humanity!

  3. @ninsiana0 @bookstodon. I just finished #OttessaMoshfegh's #MyYearOfRestAndRelaxation. Since #HouseOfMirth is mentioned in it, and I've been wanting to reread it, I'm going to go with #EdithWharton (though many wonderful people with whom I engage on #Mastodon have recommended a bunch of books that I need to get my hands on ASAP!).

  4. I thought of the #British #RoyalFamily remembering a line from #EdithWharton's novel #AgeOfInnocence set in 1870's upper-crust& aristocracy-simulating New York society: "In reality they all lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world, where the real thing was never said or done or even thought but only represented by a set of arbitrary signs". These days #Democracy #Equality #FreeSpeech mean folks don't cow-tow to #Heirs& #Graces.They stand up to bullying, controlling, gaslighting w/own truth. #Spare

  5. So, noob question here: Is there some way I can set up an alert for a hashtag I want to follow? Especially if nobody else has used the hashtag earlier?

    I saw someone mention here their interest in #EdithWharton. I thought that was a cool way of tracking people with common interests.

    How can I get auto-alerts if anyone mentions anything about #TomStoppard or just #Stoppard?

    (I know words not tagged can't be searched for. But is there a way to automate bringing all #Stoppard posts to my TL?)

  6. #introduction INCOMING

    Hi, I’m Sheila.

    I’m an #EdithWharton impersonator (aka English professor), paid funeral attendee (aka #bagpiper), all-purpose nuisance (aka #accordion player) and general layabout (aka #writer) interested in a whole mess of things including #C19Studies #americanlit #bookhistory #cnf #mediatheory etc etc etc

    Really bad at this social media stuff and getting worse every day. Pleased to meet you.
