First meeting tomorrow; Helen Thompson next week

Greetings! We will hold our first meeting tomorrow (Sep 2) in the Parker library at 2:15 pm. Please come with recommendations for reading.

We will also have a special meeting next Wednesday (Sep 9) in advance of Helen Thompson's visit. We'll be meeting at the same time & place to discuss Dr. Thompson's current project. Please read ""It was impossible to know these people': Secondary Qualities and the Form of Character in A Journal of the Plague Year" (available through Project MUSE).

You might also consider taking a look at "Secondary Qualities and Masculine Form in Clarissa and Sir Charles Grandison" (also on Project MUSE), another article on the same project. Finally, her 2005 book, Ingenuous subjection : compliance and power in the eighteenth-century domestic novel, is available through the library website.
