My "Huge Ribbon-cutting Ceremony"

After this morning's meeting with Dr. Parkes, I decided to create a blog to record my preparatory notes for my comprehensive exams. My lists: 20th c. American Literature, 20th c. British Literature, and Victorian Literature. (Actual list post to follow.)

I intend for this blog to organize my thoughts/ideas/arguments in a public forum to which colleagues, friends, and strangers can contribute. It seems like a helpful way to get discussion and feedback efficaciously and conveniently. Plus, hopefully people will inspire me to keep it interesting and creative, and additionally call me out if I fall behind schedule. I'll appreciate any help I can get from literarians on the web.

So here I sit, in half-lotus at my kitchen table, poised to bare my book-loving brain for the world wide web... The big question, as always: To publish?
