As Eddie Vedder once said: “I’m still alive.”

And so is this site. It has been a very long vacation, and I certainly do apologize. As some of you may know, I’m a postgraduate student in English. As fate would have it, the birth of this site coincided with the first year (of three) of my Ph.D. program. Consequently, the summer coincided with my frantic rush to ready a chapter for my “upgrade” meeting. (The time when a baby Ph.D. student becomes a man/woman.) { This is usually determined by lottery.} As you can imagine, this has made it very difficult to keep a handle on anything apart from early-modern printing (my “area of expertise”).

Just holding for laughs.

So, having vanquished that chapter (mostly), I wanted to let you all know that I’m planning on getting things started up again in the next week or so. Please let this serve as yet another request for contributions, and a thank you for being so patient with me during this time. And, of course, for being readers of my site!

See you soon…
