This is amazing news for those in precarious situations and/or working from more peripheral places without access to libraries where Peter's book might live. I warmly recommend reading this book!

For #JacobsRoom100, I'll keep pushing to try to get this brilliant novel translated to Estonian!

My essay where I imagine Woolf & Leida Kibuvits taking a train together on a June evening is in this Woolf Miscellany issue among many other cool pieces! Really enjoyed writing this, largely because Shilo Rae McGiff and Valérie Favre were so kind and inspiring editors!

this #modwrite Rhys’s letter captures my mood: This morning I wrote two lines of the article then went to sleep. What is to be done?[..]I’d fly from damp and bloody Beckenham and finish my book. Oh God if I could finish it before I peg out or really turn into some fungus or other

Ariadne Lõnga uue toimetuse avanumber on tänasest väljas (feminist killjoy vibes 😘🤩🦄) : ariadnelong.ee/ariadne-long-2… Mul on nii hea meel, et olen saanud koos töötada ja praktiseerida mõtte-kamraadlust Kadri Aaviku, Raili Marlingu, Rebeka Põldsami ja Eret Talviste. ✊✊✊

Focusing not on the Global South but on a different periphery in the North-East of Europe, I'll be there too to think about where and what is 'Europe' in the context of transnational studies, especially in women's writing of the the early 20C!

First #MLA23 done. Kibuvits did not get much airtime because there were many other exciting papers and ideas (in our roundtable and elsewhere), but I'm happy I brought her and Estonian lit here! Thanks Pavel Richter for organising the panel #350 on peripheral modernisms.

Mine and Max Ryynänen's article on affects, nationalism, and kitsch in the 🇪🇪 Singing Revolution. Hopefully it speaks to people outside Estonia and raises awareness of the complexity of nationalism in small east and north European countries. tinyurl.com/2cyuy4kp

Superhappy that this brief translation of Leida Kibuvits’s short story “Lepatriinupunane” (Ladybirdred) is out! Translating is a rare, but, as it turns out, completely delicious part of my job, and really is the most intimate way to do close reading 🐞 fortnightlyreview.co.uk/2023/02/kibuvi…

Woolf Salon no. 24 : On Wonder. Join us for a discussion of #VirginiaWoolf’s essays “The Elizabethan Lumber Room” & “Sir Thomas Browne” with our guest conspirators Eret Talviste and Angela Harris. 💫 🌌 April 28th, 3-5pm ET, on Zooooom.

This #modwrite I'm again touched by Jean Rhys's letters; how beautifully she writes to her daughter about being 'soft': "The more love the better [...] ‘if you grow hard you will not be able to write. You will lose your touch on the piano’ […] it is never wasted - loving.”

Let's wonder together tomorrow evening (if you're in Europe)!

"...life; London; this moment of June" turned into "life; Tartu; this moment of June", as we celebrated Dallowday also in lovely Tartu! 🕸️🌸So happy I had a decent group of Woolf-minded people reading and walking with me! #DallowayDay

We still want your abstracts 👀👀, but we have decided to extend the deadline until November 15 (cause Dr Ruth Alison Clemens and I realised there is no need to rush)!

I co-edited a special issue on Estonian women's writing from the first decades of the twentieth century - a topic largely uncovered in Estonian literary criticism. The issue is in Estonian, but English abstracts are available here: keeljakirjandus.ee/en/?fbclid=IwA…

“If you don’t see women, ordinary people, marginalized people in the historical record, you go looking for them” - Jessica Berman in her keynote lecture ‘Transing Modernism in Argentina’ #BMCTartu

'Borders, Margins, Cartographies' gave me many wondrous new impressions that I want to crystallise into words and new collaborations. A big thank you to the keynote speakers, participants, and to Dr Ruth Alison Clemens for making this laboratory of intimacy possible! #BMCTartu
