What's up?
- Haven't been very active here lately and when I am, it is usually related to things going on elsewhere. A very busy time right now; hope to be back in the calmer waters (!!) of Wikipedia soon.
- For those who obsess about categories: weird and wacky Library of Congress subject headings.
Interests
British literature of the Restoration and 18thc; women's writing; print culture; street literature; speculative fiction. I am on a roll with women writers of the long 18thc, and I'm discovering my inner WikiFairy.
