Regency-era mugs, gifts for #19thc children who managed to stick to their books & learn to read. Their mottoes are grim but maybe necessary admonitions, too, for the academic who's soldiering on while coming to terms with the fact that it's August now. I.e. I feel seen. #AcademicLife

One thing I’ve realized in recent years is that in Twain Studies, thanks to Jonathan Arac, we have a meticulous account of how Huck Finn became a “classic” (i.e. canonical). And it was not via an organic process of critical & communal aesthetic discernment. Canonization is an exercise of power.
Annie Abrams@annieabrams.bsky.social · last wk.“But we want to make this absolutely clear, too: classic books are being removed because book banners are targeting classic books.” there’s a redefinition going on, of what a “classic” is, what it’s for, who decides
