I taught many things today — the structural roots of novel forms, the long history of didactic literature, how to read a D4 –– but probably my longest term impact is when I said to a love-lorn student, “the only thing I can tell you over four decades of life is that nothing is forever”

It was a fantastic 3 days in Liverpool at the conference, ‘Terraqueous Globe: Land & Sea in the Age of Sterne’. Well done to the organizers and contributors! I gave a keynote on transatlantic material Marias, with unintended shopping consequences 👇🏻
what would a Sterne conference be without subplots and serendipity? After hearing @chloewigstonsmith.bsky.social fascinating keynote about the author and transatlantic material culture, I stumbled across this 1779 Angelica Kauffman print of Maria… thank/blame the fates
