On this anniversary, spare a thought for anyone who publishes research on Jane Austin, and can’t go a day without explaining to someone, “No, it really is the one with the -i- in it.”

Without much reading, you will no more be able to penetrate the moral of the next marbled page (motley emblem of my work!) than the world with all its sagacity has been able to unravel the many opinions, transactions, and truths.

Absolutely outrageous to say that a uni’s academic press doesn’t serve its undergraduates. Non-profit university presses support and sustain a scholarly and intellectual system THAT MAKES TEACHING UNDERGRADUATES POSSIBLE. No presses? no fields of study, no professors, no college.

I’ve just discovered that my short article in The Shandean (vol. 33) is available open access through @livunipress.bsky.social, together with the rest of the rich festschrift issue for the great Peter de Voogd. It looks at how Soviet editors censored Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey.

It’s been ten years since I left Moscow to study at the University of Toronto. It feels like these years have vanished somehow, but when you come to think of it, so much has happened since then, both good and bad.
