Apparently I need to reread Middlemarch so that we can write this remake.

Actually, I know this isn’t strictly true because my mom belongs to an Aubrey-Maturin fan group on Facebook (tell me you’re old without telling me), and I’m sure all 37 of them cry out for this daily.

We both had to go to the vet separately last week for vomiting. Turns out we were drinking the Christmas tree water.

However, I’d be remiss not to mention the amazing work that came before mine, esp. Ann Thompson, Jeanne Addison Roberts, Sasha Roberts, Laurie Maguire, Gail Marshall, and Valerie Wayne.

These are the very kind words from the selection committee, full text in alt. “An elegant and important book, Shax’s Lady Editors features dazzling archival work that creates an entire field.”
An elegant and important book, Shakespeare’s Lady Editors features dazzling archival work that creates an entire field. Yarn’s extraordinary research not only recovers the history of female editors of Shakespeare editions but also discovers details about their lives, reconstructs their efforts to demonstrate their professional skills, and creates a moving story that also reflects on her own assumptions and desires as a chronicler of these neglected writers. Yarn’s research, impressive in its scope and depth, provides an aspirational model for scholars. This clearly written, authoritative volume offers readers new perspectives on editorial work, periodicals studies, gender politics, and the modes by which Shakespeare was transmitted and interpreted over the centuries.
