  4. At the start of the year I finished reading George Meredith's The Ordeal of Richard Feverel. It's regarded as 'unjustly neglected'. I'm not sure. Some bold comic strokes, caricature, and social satire, turning darker and more tragic at the end. Moving on to modern novels now. #TeamEnglish #novels #VictorianStudies #19thcLit

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. I am become remediated !!

    Bumbling through the second draft of an #introduction : I’m an English PhD at UNC-Chapel Hill doing #VictorianStudies (#Victodon ??) interested in #information theory, #narrative, truth-telling, action in crises, and most recently, the special kind of unsettling media affect you get from adjusting to Mastodon!!

    Other interests include #criticaltheory , #utopianism , #C19 with a splash of #C20 , and #activism.

  8. Hi, just opened my account, though I'm still on Twitter for the moment. I'm an Emeritus Prof. of English at the University of Maryland. I'm a specialist in #RomanticLiterature, #TextualScholarship, #LitStudies, #VictorianStudies, #AcademicMastodon, looking for my communities here.
