forms traced by light

Despite the almost year absence, I have missed this space. So, here I go tentatively restarting this blog.  I blame Kate Flint.  She's a scholar at Rutgers who I heard speak at BWWC in College Station a few weeks ago.  She's, for lack of a better term, the scholarly equivalent of a rock star.  Her talk on reading practices and the kinds of book nineteenth-century travelers took with them was fascinating, multi-layered, and far reaching.

We also all discovered that Professor Flint has a blog called forms traced by light.  I've now added it to my RSS feed, and I figure if she can maintain a blog, then I should be able to as well.  Or at least do so with more continuity and dedication.
