We have a rolling deadline, so we’re happy to consider queries and submissions at any time. But June 30 is for work that needs to go through peer review for this year’s issue. Let me know if you have other questions!

Interesting read and new word: pandemoirs
How might “pandemoirs” by Daniel Defoe (Journal of a Plague Year) & Mary Shelley (The Last Man) help us come to terms with enforced solitariness during catastrophe? By @EileenMHunt digitaldefoe.org/2022/01/03/… @S_Insley_H @chris_loar @profvanrenen @BSECS @ASECSOffice

Just had a great @DigitalDefoe editorial meeting. Look out for a CFP from us around ASECS, but for now: please keep us in mind for peer-reviewable and non-traditional work on Defoe and his contemporaries!

Talked about the wonderful essay cluster in @DigitalDefoe on reading/teaching Journal of the Plague Year in the pandemic with my Invention of Health class. What a great jumping off point for discussing our experiences of reading the novel now!

“I had before found him a most disinterested friend, & perfectly honest in his dealings, even when I trusted him with all I had, so now I found him strictly virtuous, till I made him otherwise myself, even almost whether he would or no, as you shall hear.”

I've heard so many nice things from people about my review for @DigitalDefoe of @CambridgeFinch that I thought I'd do a thread about Anne FInch and her amazing body of work that this luminous new edition collects. First, here's the link to my review: digitaldefoe.org/2022/01/03/…
