I have big news, so big that I can no longer sit on it. From September 1st, I am going to be a lecturer!

More precisely, I will be a lecturer in Restoration and eighteenth-century literature at Newcastle University. I cannot wait.

I also cannot devote more time to a longer post, although I promise to return here as soon as I can and write the following:

• The story of my job-hunting
• An account of the end of my thesis (and the final form it took)
• My first impressions of life in Newcastle

I shall also reboot the blog into something more like a carnet de recherche, capturing my ideas and whimsy more generally as opposed to something tied to a specific project.

For now though, I need to find a flat.
