After 2 weeks here I‘ll try a better introduction.
I’m working on nation, race, and body in the #HistoryofEconomicThought. Been stuck in the 19th century for a while with #Coleridge, #HerbertSpencer, and #AlfredMarshall et al. Hoping to move soon to the 20th century including the relation between #Neurasthenia and “feeble mindedness” and the rise of #eugenics. #IrvingFisher is on the horizon as is #JamesMeade. Most interested in hearing from anyone working in these areas. 1/2

Another wonderful false imprint @ubleiden: it's from the collection of Prosper Marchand and this time Pierre Marteau is hiding the identity of the formidable female printer Susanne de Caux, who published the first few editions of Lettres persanes (including this second edition) in Amsterdam. Marteau, De Caux, Marchand and Montesquieu all united in this one copy - the French Enlightenment in #thefakerepublic | #histodons #enlightenment #earlymodons #earlymodern #bookhistory

Tooters! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to rustle up a free to use #EarlyModern / #EarlyModon woodcut or engraving that says “difficult pasts” but in a way that is not gory, racist, macabre, or likely to put people off their coffee.

Are you getting tired of all these links back to the bird site? (Consider boosting so we can get a sample of opinion.)
