I think McKenzie Crooke should run #DoctorWho for two short seasons, small scale but creepy and magical in a cozy folk horror kind of way, with a beguiling bohemian doctor who is somehow both charming and awkward at the same time. And the Doctor should have a steampunky gothic vibe.

Delighted to be speaking at this symposium in York next month. A fascinating theme and a terrific lineup. My paper examines how lawyers and doctors were caricatured in Georgian Dublin! See the🧵for the full schedule!
Proud to have played a key role in bringing this fascinating project to fruition, and excited to see the implications of the research for heritage interpretation and practice over the coming year(s).

Dirt, sex and faeces abound in 18-century ilterature.
Uncanny to find this irascible aside about review criticism in William Hazlitt's Lectures on the Elizabethan Age: now "we contrive even to read by proxy". Seems like he foresees (in 1820!) our worries about the age of AI when he links "the Millennium of criticism" with "the euthanasia of thought".
