two new (academics-related!) websites
As Miriam [The Little Professor]
recently noted, Paul Douglass and Frederick Burwick have put together some CDs of Romantic-era songs, which you can learn about
at his website. Additionally, Douglass put together a lovely little website "devoted to the life, work, and circle of Lady Caroline Lamb," found
here. Makes sense, since he wrote
Lady Caroline Lamb : A Biography.
Dr. Douglass is an overachiever (in a good way!) which makes me want to work even harder in my courses. He's the Graduate Coordinator in my department, is the Director of the
Steinbeck Center, and he's teaching my cool AmLit seminar this semester. He is one of the most organized profs I've ever had, and is very helpful and kind. So, three cheers for him, and check out his sites if you're interested in such things.
[Yes, I'll actually write some sort of post about the fact that school
did start a few weeks ago and I like my seminars even though when I make a comment people look at me like I'm speaking swahili and/or am insane. That's ok. Everyone needs a niche.]
