(I worked at the Lab at the time.) My extremely tolerant dad bought the books & shipped them to CA at my direction. More than 5 years later … voila!
All I ask in return: if the physical copies still exist, please put a bookplate in each one identifying it as the generous gift of Hannah Walser 😂 3/3

My parents used to live in a small town with 1 used bookstore. They had dozens of books in the “Men Made in America” romance series. The gimmick is simple yet profound: 1 man (1 book) per state. Probably encouraged by @jdporter.bsky.social, I thought this would make a fun corpus for a DH project 2/3

His method of building "play #embeddings" resonates with formalist traditions in #CLS. We were pleased to see the work of our director, Mark Algee-Hewitt (2017), on "Distributed Character: Qualitative Models of the #English Stage, 1550–1900", cited as part of this methodological context. #DH2025
