I'm writing the forward to a new edition of John Cleland's Fanny Hill, arguably the most important, earliest, and strangest piece of British porn. It's published by @sandtclassics.bsky.social and features a conversation with @stoya.bsky.social. My mother would be so proud.

It's nice to use my Ph.D. training in the long eighteenth century for artistic, capitalist, and low-key anti-fascist good (because don't forget, they're coming for your porn).

It's an honor to serve. 💅
I mean, what an utter goddamn delight for aficionados of the eighteenth century, lovers of weird-ass porn, or the idly horned-up. Available for preorder now.

This is out in a week, which is wild to me because it felt so far away in November and yet here we are. It’s exciting, and also I’m not doing enough to celebrate.
This May, we're thrilled to bring a new edition of Elizabeth Gaskell's NORTH AND SOUTH (1855) to your bookshelves featuring a (heated!) conversation between Gaskell enthusiast Adrienne Garcia-Specht and actor/activist Morgan Spector (HBO's THE GILDED AGE). unnamedpress.com
