This tells me a great deal. Thanks!

Merton's Bestiary: A Digital Edition, edited and transcoded by Sebastian Dows-Miller. Merton College Library, Oxford, MS 249.

Are you teaching a rare MS or out of print book? Why not make a digital edition of it, or even better, ask your students to collaborate!

Our training course is free and the edition can be published #OA in the digital editions platform #PRISMS:

I'm a bit confused about how this worked in practice: so, had they decided to embrace #AI, did your colleague have a completely separate lesson plan prepared with all the AI readings, training exercises, etc. needed to make any meaningful sense of it, which she then didn't use?

Many thanks to the program committee and organizers, and to the NASSR executive for a fantastic #NASSR2025!

#NASSR #Romanticism #GlobalRomanticism

Excellent paper by Paris Weber to conclude a fabulous #NASSR2025 on Thomas Gray's representation of nature as integral to the perception of time's flow and human memory in his #EtonOde and #Elegy, drawing a connection from Burnet to Hardy.

#18thC #Romanticism #ThomasGrayArchive #poetry

Big shout-out to the fabulous panel on "Global Romanticisms" at #NASSR2025! Insightful discussions and inspiring perspectives on Late Colonial Romanticisms in India, Juliusz Slowacki and Melville's _Moby Dick_, and Shelley and Xu Zhimo’s Love Poems!

#GlobalRomanticism #Romanticism

Exciting #NASSR2025 paper by Tara Lee on digitally mapping the world of Romantic epic. The project draws on a dataset of 230 epics (1787-1837) and employs topic modelling to explore the corpus' semantic space as well as its genre geography.

Excited about day 3 of #NASSR2025! Looking forward to "Romanticism &/as World Literature", "Global Romanticisms", and "Word & Image Poetics/The Natural World".
