My immediate reaction to seeing these tiny volumes: 💞Oh, they are cute! …
Evidently so cute they broke Hazlitt’s theory of repeat reading when, in this form, Rousseau’s ‘Eloisa’, which he had long loved, suddenly revolted him 😅 (small, gilt edges, rosy perfume)—at the Palace Green Library, Durham

Elizabeth Catlett’s linoleum cut print of Phillis Wheatley at the Whitney Museum, part of the Alvin Ailey exhibit, which shows his choreography and reflects on the astonishing range of his influences. (Thanks to Amelia Worsley for the hot tip.)
