historical print shop & its 3 printing presses, to have a look at some of the things we’ve printed, and to discuss practice-based research more broadly. Despite what form says, we aren’t asking participants to do anything in advance, and people presenting papers etc. can still join us. 3/3

It’s not really a seminar because it’s really a workshop: we put it in this section because we need to limit numbers. It’ll be an opportunity for folk interested in early modern print cultures to hear about the research projects we are running at Bristol Common Press, to explore our working 2/3

Time to wheel out archiveses, precious.

Wait are we using ‘archives’ in the singular now? I must have missed the twitter discourse about this.

We’re certain IA operatives didn’t abseil down into PQ HQ through a skylight, dodge the lasers, and replace the microfilms with their hat?

And no doubt the point was made that an unsuccessful ballot does not = ‘action’.

Presumably the working theory is that the 73% of members who didn’t even vote in the consultative ballot are absolutely desperate to take industrial action, and don’t get out of bed for anything less than a proper IA ballot.

I think my eyes have slid over Bounce to Fop at some point but I will look again. It would be good to have more poems by dogs (2) than men (1) on the unit.

I don’t think I know these poems…? Unless you mean ‘whose [dog / fool] are you?’?

I have no idea! Yes, Oroonoko is week 2, then Fantomina, then we inexplicably jump to Doris Lessing and hang around in C20th and 21st.

My question: can you think of other instances of this i.e. an exposure of some piece of writing as (disguised) autofiction / self-insert. Ideally for satirical purposes / as attack on author, but not necessarily. Needn’t be #C18th.

This morning as I waited to cross a road, at the bottom of one of the roads closed to motor traffic, a man shouted at me from his car window as he drove past: “you’ve caused this, you cunt!”. So let me know if you want a LTN putting in near you, I guess, as I am the cunt that causes them.
