The issue includes brilliant contributions by Marta Figlerowicz, @gati_daniella, Lilla Balint and Djordje Popović, Peter Boxall, @g_lazzari_, and Chloe Howe Haralambous
Peter Womack’s article, available on early view, surveys recent debates over the use of the word ‘Terrorist’. Have a look: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
The essay I most enjoyed writing was this piece for @CritQuarterly, undertaken at the behest of @leorobsonwriter (so you can blame him). It's about John Berger, Cairo, and Yeats' old dilemma about life and work: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… (3/8)
Our new issue, 65.3, is out now! Check out David Trotter on Coleridge's Natural Telegraphy, some new Keywords - 'Stress', 'Matter' and 'Care' - and papers on Doris Lessing onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/…
The @CritQuarterly editorial group (of which I’m part) is looking for contributors to the revamped Reviews section — new books but also ‘revaluations’. Next issue is on the life, work, and legacy of Christopher Hitchens. DM me and/or Joe @lifeisnotanovel with ideas or for details
Our new special issue 'Solitudes Past and Present' is edited by James Morland, Akshi Singh and Charlie Williams. It's a fascinating issue- take a look! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/…
‘ Most of Honey from a Weed doesn’t take the form of recipes but digressions on things that have happened to her…stories of peasants’. @demarionunn on Patience Gray, part of a fascinating essay on peasant food in this issue of @CritQuarterly edited by @leorobsonwriter
