Dental Phantom, c.1898. Or, what it feels like to live in 2025.

The dental phantom was first created by the Glaswegian dentist Eduard Oswald Fergus a few years earlier as a tool for students to practice their craft before working on human subjects.

The volume asks 'what would a neurodivergent framework for literary studies look like'?

Many thanks to @anatoliikozlov.bsky.social for such an attentive review of my book for @thebsls.bsky.social . Don’t miss out 😉: If it’s not already in your libraries, go ahead and ask your lovely librarians.

My review of @stuartjtaylor.bsky.social's book is out
