Book news: Codex Poetics is now available to order: hardback, paperback, and e-book. With the pre-order discount (code CPPRR2026 at the checkout, expires 30 September), read it in the reasonably affordable paperback to find out (intellectually *and* experientially) why the bound book format matters!

I WILL get back to my seminar papers, but, 1st, 1 more quote from Pope Leo. For my deans and yours: "We must learn . . to protect our young people from the promise of the perfect machine, from that subtle temptation which renders human thought seemingly superfluous when it is most needed."

Deidre Lynch@drbibliomane.bsky.social · 2mo ago

There's more for the deans (for ALL who teach): "intelligence, when absolutized, overshadows other essential dimensions of life, such as affection, the will, commitment & relationships . .. technical power, if left unbalanced, makes us more isolated & more vulnerable to being dominated & excluded."

Ghent is such a lovely city of bicycles & beer, & also where (now Dr.) Dominic Bentley Hussey successfully defended his startlingly original dissertation on media studies, Romanticism, & pseudo-translation (British + French). 36 hrs there was not enough. In other news, my BU regalia made its debut 🎉

Sense of community is crucial to postgrad intellectual life, so the Directors of Durham's MA in English are cooking up ideas for 2026/27, from a Welcome Symposium👋 and autumn picnic🥪🧺 to a winter Bake-Off 🍰 and a movie/theatre night🎭🍿. (Yes, a baked goods competition *will* help the ideas flourish.)

Posting again for the daytime crowd! I'm particularly looking for readings on best grad advising practices, but comments on your personal or program recs are also welcome! Thanks!

Rose Casey@rosecasey.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Best practice for grad advising? Best sources or resources? I'm not new to advising (I saw several PhD advisees graduate before I even had tenure) but am wanting to spruce up my sense of best practice & norms. How often do you meet? Meet their needs while recognizing your own (eg workload!) etc.!

for anyone who happens to have the Rivkin and Ryan anthology of theory: would you be willing to share an image of the copyright page? i'm trying to get a sense of how frequently it was reprinted (among other things)

My second-year students in Poetry by the Book with archivist Richard Higgins at the Palace Green Library yesterday, learning about Romantic-period book production and exploring some of the library’s gems. (Posted with permission of those pictured.)
