A staged reading of Joanna Baillie’s 1798 comedy THE TRYAL. The text has been modified for the stage: it has been shortened but there is also a scene added to clarify the plot. This reading brings to life a text Baillie was unable to produce in her own day.

“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 is, then, a novel concerned with questions of morality & education, but also national identity, the differences between Scottish & English cultures…It is also very funny”

—Books & Borrowing, 1750–1830 on Susan Ferrier’s 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦

It was upon a Lammas night,
When corn rigs are bonie,
Beneath the moon’s unclouded light,
I held awa to Annie…

Spent a good deal of time browsing the Smithsonian's online collection of works from George Catlin's Indian Gallery.

These pictures have long fascinated me. They could be fitted into so many histories: American Indians, romanticism, portraiture, Western art, US art, colonialism, antebellum US history...

Musical DNA of But Live It — Steely Dan

Steely Dan have always felt like a universe of their own. The precision, the warmth, the studio craftsmanship, songs built like little films.

But beneath all that perfection there’s also a quiet longing, a kind of understated romanticism that runs through their harmonies and stories. That blend of sophistication and emotional depth shaped how I think about sound.

Love laced with smidgeon of hope
Kept from the depths, toward a soap
What happened — dashed by doors —
Now Cupid lays, drunk on a floor.

Musical Interlude: Let me wisk you off to the concert hall, where we'll hear the overture to the opera "Euryanthe," which is almost never performed as while the music is good, the libretto blows.

"Euryanthe Overture," composed by Carl Maria von Weber, performed by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, conducted by Daniel Smith.

wrote nearly 3000 words about Romanticism, subjectivity, magic, and materialism because someone pinged me in a discord server about it.
