Mr Paton is giving us some observations about the customs of #Serbia, still under nominal #Ottoman rule. An interesting way to write a #travelogue, breaking up the details of travel with chapters on observed behaviour.

To build a key section of the #railways that connected Central and Western #Europe with the #Orient and #Constantinople, #Serbia went into massive #debt. This is a story of how it unfolded and how the debt was managed.

Madeleine (1883) by Christian Krohg (Norwegian artist, lived 1852–1925). We are left to speculate, but it appears to be a fallen woman in a barren bedroom, sitting on a thin mattress and iron bedstead. Realism in the arts.

I'm at a loss for this juror's surname. I thought maybe "Glad" or some variation, but no luck. When this happens, I often find them in the Electoral Register since jurors were often geographically clumped near one another, but I've found no candidate for this man. #Victodon #VictorianStudies

This weekend marks the 125th anniversary of Lewis Carroll's Death, and I wrote and article for BBC History Extra exploring the life of the man behind the pseudonym, whose work, mathematical and literary influenced the lives of so many, from suffragettes to Alan Turing.

My #introduction: I am a writer, poet, and scholar whose work focuses on place, #labor, the intersection between prose and poetics, #race, and the nineteenth-century novel. My fiction and poetry are often #surreal. I teach literature and composition at University of Maine at Augusta and at Farmington.
