I'm not on X very often these days, but wanted to spread the word that Literature and History are looking for a new co-editor to replace me when I step down in January. I've really enjoyed my 8+ years at the journal:

On my last morning of #BSECS2024, I’ve been privileged to see presentations from three of my PhD students. Won’t name them here, but I’m proud of them all!
It was a pleasure to chair the panel on Education and Enlightenment at #BSECS2024 today, featuring fantastic work by @LadysMuseumProj, @conbrunstrom and @LeifHammer. Inspiring stuff, making valuable connections between eighteenth-century educational practices and our own.
Fascinating to hear from @Jakub_Lipski about Polish responses to Sterne in early 19thc. Another great panel at #BSECS2024.
Great #BSECS2024 panel to start the day, letting us hear from curators at @NTAssemblyRooms about their recent research into “the working life of play” in 18thc. Bath.

Looking good, Gulielmus! We’re celebrating #SelfieDay with Hogarth’s self-portrait from 1749. This impression of state 4 is bound into vol 1 of the 3-vol collection of Hogarth prints formerly owned by George Steevens.

ALT Self-portrait after the painting in the Tate; the artist is portrayed as if on an oval canvas resting on a pile of books; in the foreground, his dog Trump, his burin, and palette. On the palette is engraved the title "The line of beauty."

Puffin's old blurb for AWiT was absurdly misleading and sexist, presenting Charles as the novel's protagonist and Meg as someone along for the ride. Thankfully updated in more recent editions.
