Very sorry to hear, Andy - wishing you a swift and full recovery, and a plentiful supply of good books while you rest.
Institutions of Literature, 1700-1900 is now available as a relatively affordable paperback from CUP. Jon and I are really happy with the fourteen excellent intersecting essays our contributors prepared - do consider picking the book up if you work in the area: www.cambridge.org/core/books/i....
Published today: Realms of Imagination: Essays from the Wide Worlds of Fantasy, edited by @tanyakirk.bsky.social and myself, with a preface by @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com. A heavily-illustrated volume of perspectives on Fantasy's histories, mysteries and possibilities: shop.bl.uk/products/rea....
Strange, delightful and somewhat overwhelming that Fantasy: Realms of Imagination, which we began working on four years ago, has changed from hundreds of plans and drafts into its physical form at the British Library. Open until 25 February 2024 - do visit if you can: www.bl.uk/events/fantasy.
For those interested in Fantasy, Brian Attebery and I are talking about our recent books for the Glasgow's Centre for Fantasy and the Fantastic on Thursday at 6pm UK Time: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/framing-fa....
