Considering the significant presence of literature (and literary personalities) in the construction of "romantic friendship," no single chapter is going to give more than a teaser on the topic. After this, there are two more chapters that fall within the pre-20th century scope of the Project, then I'll probably have one final entry that simply lists the titles of the later articles. I'd meant to finish this up a bit more promptly, but the day-job has been grueling for the last couple weeks. (Out of an eight person department, we had three people out with Covid, and for a while I was picking up the slack for two of them. Hey folks: Covid isn't over and we're in the middle of another wave! Get those updated boosters if you can and put your masks back on.)
I'll also have a blog coming up that gives an overview of the Anne Lister Summit conference, which I'm attending virtually this weekend. This one is a virtual-only conference, but there's an in-person Anne Lister conference next April in Halifax that I'll include a link to when I post the conference notes. Now I'm going to go off and take a nap because the conference is on UK time, which meant I got up at 4am this morning.
